Our Island in the City Podcast
Can you feel it? This shift to slower living?
If you felt a freedom to pause during the Pandemic but don't want to go back to the hustle & realize that hurried pace wasn't even working for you in the first place - this is your permission to slow down with an invitation to stay there.
Our Island in the City is a podcast with host, Jodi H. Grubbs, a former Bonaire island girl and a slow living advocate. We have nourishing and gentle ongoing conversations about deep soul care, slow living practices and finding our way again.
Join me as we welcome a different guest each episode.
