BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! In this uplifting episode, Shelly shares how she’s getting back into a healthy routine—walking consistently, scheduling labs and her annual mammogram, and taking proactive steps toward the vision she has for herself in her 70s. She also opens up about her daily check-ins with her dad and the realization that she doesn’t have to be his only medical support, exploring healthier caregiver boundaries and new ways to shift their relationship. From decluttering closets and clearing out the garage to rediscovering her love of crafting, Shelly is creating space for more peace in her life. Stephanie challenges her to schedule intentional rest and even plan rewards—because self-care, healthy aging, and true wellness include downtime too. If you’re navigating a health journey, caregiving stress, or simply craving more balance, this episode will inspire you to take your next step. Want to know more about living a slowed down life?!
