## Resource

BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! In this episode, Stephanie and Shelly share real-life updates from a hectic season at work to a sweet ice cream outing with Shelly’s dad. Shelly talks about shifting their relationship from caregiver to simply being his daughter. The conversation turns to end-of-life planning and why those uncomfortable talks still matter. Shelly also opens up about feeling overwhelmed by clutter, especially clothes and sentimental items from loved ones who have passed. Shelly shares her goal of finishing holiday shopping before Thanksgiving and how decluttering her home and garage ties into lowering stress. Stephanie talks about balancing a full-time job with her many hobbies, including her all-inclusive zoo pass around San Diego. Health also comes up, from Stephanie managing allergies to Shelly working to get health insurance again. Together, they stress the importance of routine lab work and knowing your health baseline, even during busy seasons.
