Episode 54 - Finding Balance with Hannah Brencher

For Real with Kimberly Stuart

Hannah Brencher is on the other side of a fascinating experiment that helped her redefine what it means to be living in this time, this place, and what it really means to take good care of ourselves in this digital and depleting world. I’m coming out of a very intense work season, and I’m looking at the aftermath and wondering anew what it means to take good, deep care of ourselves and of each other in all seasons, not just the calm ones but the busy and sorrowful and mournful ones and happy and swamped seasons too. I’m curious about what I don’t know, and after a year of 1,000 unplugged hours, Brencher has a lot to say about what we can gain by giving up the lesser things.
