What if your most fulfilling path isn’t the fastest one?This week, I’m joined by Chloe Linn — the founder of Slow Self, a thoughtful online platform inspiring people to grow at their own pace. Chloe’s work is rooted in unlearning toxic productivity and embracing the slower, more intentional rhythms of life and work.In this conversation, we talk about what it really means to grow slowly — how rushing often sends us climbing the wrong mountain, and how success without alignment can feel quietly hollow. We explore the idea that a career isn’t a straight climb to “bigger, better, bolder,” but more like a winding path with seasons of clarity, reflection, and redirection. And how reconnecting to that path — day by day — starts by slowing down enough to hear yourself.Chloe shares her philosophy on meaningful work, resisting urgency, and doing the inner work that slow living actually requires. Her take on the slow movement isn’t about matcha and skincare — it’s about coming home to yourself.If you're in a season of pause, reflection, or quiet change — or you just want a break from the noise — this one’s for you.Follow Chloe @slowselfco — it’s truly my favorite corner of the internet. And check out her beautifully-crafted Notion goal setting workbook.Send this episode to someone who could use a slow, grounding hour. And if you feel generous, rating and reviewing helps more than you know.
