Sometimes, in our efforts to do better by the planet, our communities, our families and ourselves, we can get tangled in knots - especially when it comes to food. Today’s guest, Alexx Stuart, is (thankfully) here to talk us down from this way of thinking. She and Brooke look at food choices through the lens of finding common ground, avoiding absolutes and applying critical thought, and it’s a delightful breath of fresh air.

We hope you enjoy it!

We are back at it with another season of the Slow Home Podcast.

Kicking-off this season is another frank and fearless conversation between Ben and Brooke.

As the dust settles on Ben's 40th birthday celebrations. Brooke and Ben talk about updates in Ben's life since 2018, including career change, identity, and how he aligns these days to his life motto of Health, Happiness, and Heart. 

It's a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, always entertaining episode to begin the new season. We hope you enjoy it.
