As we enter a new era of Slow Stories, we're excited to keep relaunch week going by introducing the second installment of our segment, Soul Stories. If you've listened to past episodes of Slow Stories, you might be aware that we begin each episode with a "slow story" contributed by a member of our community. These stories have inspired each of our contributors to stop in their scroll or slow down and unplug. All of the contributions we've received have set the tone for each of our episodes. After the response from the first installment of Soul Stories in March, we're following up with a few more new voices who share both slow and soul stories that they return to not only when looking to slow down but when seeking out happiness and peace. A special thank you to our newest contributors: Kara Zawacki, Alessandra Angelini, Eleanor Turner, Austen Tosone, Molly Crossin, Lexi Tollefsen, and Emily Dinowitz.
