The Tortoise with Brooke McAlary Technology: A Slow Living Deep-Dive
Is slow living anti-tech? In today's episode Brooke and Ben dig deep in to their relationship with technology, which was one of the most requested topics for this season of the podcast.
Tech strategies and boundaries are something Brooke and Ben have spoken about before but as their work has shifted and their kids have grown, their approach has changed over the past couple of years. In this show they talk about:
- The elephant in the room – is slow living anti-tech?
- How they make technology work in a way that feels slow
- What they mean when they talk about tech
- The mindset they adopt when managing their relationship to connect-tech
- Other tools they use to develop and maintain tech boundaries
- Other ways they manage tech use with the kids and themselves when not working
- How important it is to be a role model when it comes tech (and how challenging that can be)
- Whether they feel good about their relationship to tech or if there are things they're still working on
Brooke then has a wonderful chat with Sara from Season 4 who shares not only some of the shifts she's made since she and Brooke last spoke, but also some of the feedback she received from family and friends in her community. They talk about lifelong learning, finding awe and the ways Sara is supporting her community through her slow living efforts (not always in the ways you might imagine).
Enjoy!
