Welcome back to  I'm your host, Pelumi, and today, we're delving into the art of slow living. In a world that seems to operate at lightning speed, the concept of slow living offers a refreshing perspective—a gentle reminder to savor each moment, to be present, and to prioritize what truly matters. 

Before I introduce our guest, let us do our breathing exercise. Find a comfortable seat, and close your eyes. We will inhale for 3 counts, hold for 2, and exhale for 4 counts. Each breath should connect you to the present moment. Breathe in….., hold….., breathe out.
