So you want to live a slower, more intentional life, but the whole 'frockling through the garden in a sundress while your sourdough bakes' doesn't quite fit your vibe or onto your to-do list these days.
Luckily, don't need to quit your job, marry a rich man, and run away from all your responsibilities to a cottage in the English countryside.
You just need five minutes a day to reduce stress, regulate your nervous system, and live more mindfully 💚
Because slow living isn't about changing your entire life.
But simply changing your approach to everyday living.
Welcome to Simple Slow Living, a 21-day audio challenge designed to help you find calm in the chaos, magic in the mundane, and ease in the everyday through simple 5 minute practices.
Does this sound familiar?
You wake up already feeling behind.
Before your feet even hit the floor, you're checking notifications, responding to messages, or mentally running through everything you need to get done that day.
You spend the next eight hours rushing from one thing to the next, chugging iced coffees just to keep up, only to collapse on the couch that evening too exhausted to do any of the things you actually wanted to do.
The book on your nightstand goes unread, your hobbies collect dust, and instead of enjoying a cozy night in, you find yourself watching someone else's through a screen 📱
You keep telling yourself you'll slow down when work is less busy...
When the kids are older.
When this launch is over.
But deep down, you can't help but wonder...Is life really supposed to feel like this?
Imagine instead...
☀️ Waking up peacefully every morning (and not immediately reaching for your phone)
🎶 You stretch beneath the covers for a moment, open the window, and listen to the birds singing outside.
☕️ You make yourself a cup of coffee and actually savor it instead of chugging it while answering emails.
The to-do list is still waiting, the laundry still needs folding, and that email still needs. to be sent, but the past couple of weeks everything feels different.
Not because you ran away from all your responsibilities to a cottage in the woods like a Disney princess...
But because you learned simple practices to help slow down time ⏰ and silence that voice in the back of your head telling you to "Do more! Hurry up! You're falling behind!"
Instead of rushing through life trying to beat the clock and keep up with that girl online that doesn't even know you're in a competition...
You move through every day with a little more intention.
A little more presence. A little more peace.
You go to bed with a smile on your face and realize you were right...life wasn't meant to be hustled through, but was meant to be LIVED.
And all it took was 5 minutes a day to slow down enough to savor the simple pleasures that make even the busiest Monday's feel memorable and magical ✨
That's exactly what this challenge is here to help you do - one audio, one practice, one day at a time.

Hi, I'm Tara Simone
Can I be honest with you? Slow living doesn't come naturally to me.
As a Capricorn Rising and daughter of an entrepreneur that eventually became one, hustling is in my blood.
Even my 4th grade teacher once told my mom "Tara's penmanship would be beautiful if she just slowed down" 🙃
For years I prided myself on how quickly I could finish my work tasks or hand in an exam. That mindset followed me through college and into my career...
...Until I completely burned out and had to quit my first business.
It took years after that to heal my nervous system and relationship with work, but also worth.
Maybe you're on a similar path right now?
🏃♀️ Realizing you can't keep up this pace forever, but convinced if you slow down it'll all crumble around you.
📌 Saving all the productivity hacks on Pinterest hoping if you just speed up a little bit more you'll finally have more time for yourself.
😔 Or just feeling burnout, unsatisfied, and knowing there has to be more to life.
That was me 5 years ago too...
Since then I've read countless books, listened to all the podcasts, and tried to find the secret to this elusive "work life balance" everyone talks about.
Along the way I found some simple shifts that helped me go from rushing through life to actually slowing down to savor it in just a few minutes a day.
And Simple Slow Living is where I share them all in bite sized audios so you actually implements the practices and feel the difference in your day to day life.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm already so busy. What if I don't have time for this?
That's exactly who I created this for. Each lesson is around five minutes long and includes one simple practice you can naturally weave into your day.
You won't need to wake up an hour earlier, completely overhaul your routine, or add another overwhelming habit to your to-do list.
Slow living isn't about doing more.
It's about changing your approach to the things you're already doing.
How much time will this take each day?
Just 5 minutes. Each day includes a short audio lesson from me followed by one simple challenge you can easily weave into your existing routine. Listen while you enjoy your morning coffee, take your dog for a walk, fold laundry, or wind down before bed.
The goal isn't to give you another thing to do, but help you experience the things you're already doing a little differently.
Is this just for entrepreneurs?
Nope, it's for anyone and everyone desiring a more simple, slow life! Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, running your own business, raising a family, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the pace of life, these practices are designed to meet you where you are.

Will this actually change anything in just 21 days?
Your life probably won't look completely different after three weeks, but it will feel different. Small consistent shifts to our habits and mindset is what changes our lives over time.
