Slowing (out 9/17/24 - you can pre-order it here!) is a collection of personal essays, interviews, and prompts about time, pace, and creativity. The book's origins stem from my project Slow Stories, and my experiences of navigating an age that prized productivity, speed, and external validation. Combining evocative—and slow—storytelling, guided prompts, and inspiring design, Slowing offers a distinct lens on time and attention. I’ve learned the best way to cultivate intentional conversations is to listen. We’re living in an age where volume—in every sense of the word—is prioritized. Paring back, slowing down, and celebrating quieter moments allows us to truly hear what others are saying. When we create that space, we can also hear ourselves a little bit more clearly, too.
