Voice Notes from a Slow Life
A Slow Motherhood Podcast
A podcast on motherhood, slow living, burnout, ambition, identity, and the cultural expectations shaping women’s lives.
Hosted by Émilie Avon-Green
About the Podcast
Voice Notes From a Slow Life is a reflective podcast for mothers and women who are questioning hustle culture, burnout, over-functioning, and the pressure to do it all.
Hosted by psychotherapist, writer, speaker, and educator Émilie Avon-Green, the podcast explores slow motherhood, mom burnout, identity, ambition, emotional labour, self-trust, and the cultural expectations shaping modern womanhood.
Some episodes are personal reflections.
Some are conversations.
Some are clinical and cultural explorations of why so many mothers feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, resentful, or disconnected from themselves.
At its heart, this podcast is about living, working, and mothering in a way that feels more honest and sustainable.
