❄️ Slow Living as a Mum | coastal walks, 90s butter mum aesthetic & how I protect the slow life

A slow winter day on the NSW south coast — a coastal walk with a friend, a local bakery, morning routines, book recommendations, and an honest conversation about aesthetics, intentional motherhood, and where this channel is going next. In this video I'm talking about how I actually implement slow living as a mum — the routines, rhythms and small intentional choices that make a full life feel less frantic. I'm also unpacking the butter mum and coastal grandma aesthetics, and why I think there's a danger in building your whole identity around an aesthetic — something I've navigated myself. And at the end, I share something I've been sitting with for a while: why I'm shifting my content toward more aesthetic b-roll and video essay style, and what that means for protecting my time, my son's privacy, and the values behind everything I make. ✦ What's in this video: — Slow morning routine — Coastal walk & park with a friend — Local bakery on the south coast — What I'm currently reading (book recommendations) — Butter mum & coastal grandma aesthetic — and the dangers of aesthetic identity — Evening routine — baking & home tidy — Why my content is shifting & what's coming next 🌻 PRE-ORDER MY BOOK: https://www.amazon.com.au/Slow-Savour...
