The Kitchen Sink Series from Slow Folk is a raw and imperfect podcast for rabble-rousers, dawdlers, late-bloomers and taboo-breakers, thirsty for a slower life in a world obsessed with speed.

I’m in the shit.
There’s no real other way to describe it. Although, maybe . . . not in the shit, but on the edge. The precipice, peering over a misty cliff to the crashing waves below.
And although being in the shit sucks, the fact that I am noticing it now, here on the cliffs versus down there in the rip tide - this is a victory and the result of years of intentional, focused, sustained, uncomfortable effort.
Burnout stalks so many of us, especially us gentle-hearted, empathetic, introverted, people-pleasing creatives.
Sometimes I can feel it, padding on soft pink paws in the cool grass behind me. Nonchalant, barely-constrained violence vibrating just below the surface.
Rather than run from her, I’ve chosen to get curious about her.
