Mary & Emma: Rethinking Slow Living

Mary and Emma return to the podcast after over a six-month hiatus, reflecting on the evolution of Lady Farmer as a brand and their own experiences within it. They discuss how the cultural context around sustainability has shifted, how they don't want to present themselves as experts or frame sustainability in moral terms, and how systemic forces limit individual impact even as daily habits still matter. They aim to focus more on finding meaning, creativity, and defining “the good life". They share personal updates (babies! work! gardening!) and discuss plans for how they want to continue to unfold into The Good Dirt and the Lady Farmer project.00:00 Welcome Back Check In01:11 Meet Mary And Emma02:12 Lady Farmer Origin Story04:16 Slow Living Then And Now08:17 Beyond Individual Responsibility10:37 Morality Free Sustainability13:24 Decluttering And Landfill Guilt15:34 Meaning Emotions And The Good Life17:16 Creativity Work And Money19:52 Grandma Life And Restorative Gardening21:13 Reopening The Marketplace25:52 Listener Requests And Wrap UpAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
