About Unhurried Life Podcast

Welcome to an Unhurried Life, a podcast where we, Ingrid and Adrien, explore what it means to step away from the hustle and embrace a slower, more intentional way of living. We’re a couple living in the Swedish countryside who recently left what felt like a rat race to create a life with more space for what truly matters—our well-being, our joy, and living in harmony with the Earth. Each episode, we sit down for real, unfiltered conversations—sometimes just the two of us, and sometimes with friends and inspiring people who are also choosing to live more by doing less. We talk about everything from navigating modern parenthood, relationships, and creating a purpose-driven life, to redefining our relationship with work, money, and our own expectations. This is a space where we can explore what it looks like to unlearn old patterns, reconnect with our true selves, and find a rhythm that feels authentic and nourishing. Join us as we discover what it means to live an unhurried life—one filled with intention, depth, and connection. unhurriedlife.substack.com (https://unhurriedlife.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast)

   What If Not Knowing Is the Door to the Life You Want?

   It’s late, and the countryside is properly dark—the kind that swallows the path until a headlamp reveals a single step. Adrien walks the dog and meets two green eyes in the forest. Ingrid listens for the soft rustle of deer sleeping below the bedroom window. Together we wonder what darkness is asking of us this season: to see less, to feel more, and to trust the compass we carry in our bodies. We talk about uncertainty as a practice—how one clear step is enough when the next five haven’t formed—and the difference between meaningful effort and the old belief that we must “earn” every good thing by suffering first. Ingrid names the grief she’s been courting (and resisting), the impulse to over-engineer healing, and the relief of letting feeling come on its own time. Adrien remembers a life organized by plans and metrics, and the widening that arrived when planning gave way to presence. We explore Joanna Macy’s four worldviews—battlefield, trap, lover, self—and notice where we slip into certainty or check out entirely. What would it be like to act from “world as lover, world as self,” to belong so deeply we can’t exile each other—or ourselves? We end with a simple hand-and-breath practice to return to the body, and an invitation: write a letter to yourself from Earth. What does she ask of you in this season of long nights and quiet work beneath the soil? If you’re living with questions, may this be company for the dark—and a lantern for the next true step. An Invitation: If you’re in a season of not knowing — between what was and what’s next — you’re not alone. Inside the Unhurried Life Community, we slow down together, listen for what feels true, and remember that life doesn’t need to be rushed to unfold.

   Learning to Grieve: What Letting Go Teaches Us About Change (+ an invitation)

   Adrien records solo from home and opens a tender conversation about grief. Not only the grief of death of a loved one, but the everyday griefs that accompany change: leaving a career, moving places, witnessing parents age, watching a child grow. He revisits the five stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance—through his own stories of walking away from a “prestigious” career path and saying good-bye to his grandmother, and explores how grief can coexist with joy, relief, and excitement at the very same time. You’ll hear: * How naming emotions helps them move through the body * What each stage of grief can sound like in real life * How denial, anger, and bargaining often mask fear of uncertainty * Why acceptance doesn’t mean being “over it,” but learning to live with what’s true and how grief can return in gentler waves * How grief can open us to deeper alignment, integrity, and compassion * An invitation to ask: Which stage am I in right now—and what would honesty look like? This is an unedited, intimate episode about telling the truth, letting go, and trusting the life that’s waiting on the other side of change and grief. An Invitation: We’re sensing how much grief — both collective and personal — is moving through the world right now. Many of us are carrying quiet sadness, change, despair or tenderness without space to simply be with what’s alive in us. That’s why our next Unhurried Life community call will be a Rest Session dedicated to grief — just 20 min to pause, soften, and practice the art of being with what’s moving through us. Together, we’ll rest, breathe, and listen — not to fix or analyse, but to make room for whatever is asking to be felt. Because when we allow ourselves to be with life as it is, something in us begins to settle and heal.

   How Much Is Enough? Choosing Less to Live More

   How much is “enough”… and what might you gain by choosing less? We recorded this episode outdoors in the beautiful crisp September sun, seated on a bench with a lake in front of us and an oak forest behind us. Ingrid turns the microphone toward Adrien, inviting him into a conversation on minimalism, money, integrity, and the courage it takes to choose a life beyond societal expectations. Adrien shares what minimalism truly means to him—beyond decluttering—as a spiritual practice of enoughness, and how choosing less has opened space for more freedom, presence, and joy. Together, we reflect on the tension between hustle and alignment, integrity and discomfort, societal pressure and inner truth. We also explore: * How “enough” shifts when we step off the path of constant growth * Why choosing less can sometimes create more abundance * The quiet ways integrity speaks through the body * What local economies and small-scale farmers can teach us about resilience * The courage to live aligned with values even when it challenges norms It’s a layered, personal conversation about money, meaning, and the choices that bring us closer to freedom. We can’t wait for you to lean into these questions with us—and perhaps discover what “enough” means for you.
