And just like that, the end of Season 5 is upon us. 

In today's hostful episode, Brooke and Ben spend some time answering the most common pandemic-related questions as asked by you, as well as tackling some lighter topics to try and provide some much-needed balance to not only this episode but also their own mindset. 

It's undoubtedly been an incredibly difficult few weeks for everyone, with many more challenges and dark days ahead. Today Brooke and Ben offer some insights in to how they're trying to use the tools in their slow living toolbox to navigate some of these hard days, as well as offering some suggestions for how you might want to adapt some of them in to your own life. 

They also answer the following questions: 

• How are you managing remote schooling while also trying to work from home? 
• Do you think slow living is helping during lockdown? And if so do you think it will have a positive effect in the future? 
• What did you learn about schooling and spending a lot of time together while travelling? And has any of that been helpful during lockdown? 
• How to create rhythms for working or studying at home, for those who've never done it before? 
• What good new recipes have you tried lately? 
• What's bringing you joy right now? 
• What are you listening to/watching/reading right now? 

Brooke and Ben end with a brief update of what you can expect from Season 6 (which will be in your ears shortly - they've decided not to take a break between seasons in light of the current situation and all of the excellent guest interviews they have coming up which may offer some help) as well as what to expect from the next round of the Slow Beginnings Online Retreat, which starts on April 26.
