Why a Slower Pace Does Not Mean a Smaller Life... 7 Ways to Slow Down

Hi from Paris :) after a weekend to London & back, I’m just sitting at Soho Paris (grateful), sipping an oat milk latte and reflecting on the last two weeks. I just finished a Veronica Beard event last night- it was FULL of the most inspirational women ever. Most of them, from North America who have moved to Paris. Some on their own, some with their hubby’s or families and most, just exchanging constant nervous system stimulus in the U.S., for a slower pace here. But not necessarily smaller lives. Living bigger, intentionally, with their souls being included in the fun, is what fills a cup.

To me, society is shifting, into a direction where “doing” isn’t as impressive as “how you feel… doing it.” A broken down nervous system isn’t cute anymore. It’s not impressive to neglect your soul’s needs, people everywhere are integrating art & beauty as part of a well rounded life. I’ve been noticing valuing the spirit, which feeds the body, which ultimately powers the soul…and who you’re truly meant to be, is working for people. It will feel calm, not urgent. So how does one get spiritual nutrients?

Slower paces, Doing things that Bring Joy, Laughter, Following tiny gut feelings, Eating your favorite food, Meditation, Quiet time, Giving.

Just a few of my favs. If you watch the news and think the world is heading in the opposite direction, I’m glad you’re here. You can join the collective who is shifting the tide into peace and adopt THIS reality instead! no matter what it looks like right now. (Hint- when enough people do, global change will be inevitable.)

Last night, I met power house editors, curators & designers who are all prioritizing feeling their full life quality by not having only work as the center of their lives- it’s not shrinking their lives at all, it’s expanding their impact. 😉

I lived that beauty & slower pace in Versailles and found break downs were replaced with trust, versus a burnt out nervous system. I’m here working on more than just “vaycay time,” excited to share some next moves soon-

Also missing NYC a bit and my KITTY , Moon. (go Knicks 🧡💙)

I was thrilled to partner with a brand I REALLY love. I experienced one of their hotels here. Beauty/detox mocktails/style. I felt like cinderella, but in Chanel lol. Read about how my anxt was saved by a matcha & a swimming pool at midnight. Loved it- I think it’s perfect if you’re looking for luxury, but with more of a “Parisian popularity” feel, off the iconic Champs-Élysées. :)
