13 Live Slowly, Find Your Soul Sanctuary with Jodi Grubbs
<p><strong>SHOW NOTES</strong></p><p>Focus word: Solitude + Presence</p><p>You want to create and write what you feel called to. But between life's hustle and the quiet presence you can't quite find, you feel like you don't quite belong.</p><p>Jodi Grubbs knows that feeling. She grew up on the island of Bonaire where life moved at its own unhurried pace — then spent years trying to keep up with a culture that never stops. Then she realized God was inviting her to return to the "island time" of her childhood home, adopting the gentle rhythms and spiritual practices that quieted her soul. Through her book Live Slowly, she invites us into that same unhurried space.</p><p><strong>In this episode we cover:</strong></p><p>- The hidden roots of hustle culture — and why they run deeper than a busy schedule</p><p>- How soul sanctuary became Jodi's most formative creative and spiritual practice</p><p>- What it looks like to live slowly with open hands when life keeps speeding up</p><p>- Why your creativity needs stillness more than it needs more time</p><p>Visit Jodi's website at <a target="_blank" href="http://jodigrubbs.com">jodigrubbs.com</a>. Follower her on Instagram at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/jodi.grubbs/">@Jodi.Grubbs</a> and find Live Slowly wherever books are sold.</p><p><strong>About the Guest:</strong></p><p>Jodi H. Grubbs writes and speaks at the intersection of slow living and soul care. She is also a spiritual director who loves coffee and deep conversation. She is the author of a children’s book, The Island Adventures of Lili and Oliver, and coauthor of a Bible study called The Friendship Café. Jodi, her husband, Dean, and their daughter, Lili, live outside Raleigh, North Carolina.</p><p></p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH EMILY:</strong></p><p>5-day Creative Slow Start: <a target="_blank" href="https://emilygrabatin.ca/creativeslowstart">emilygrabatin.ca/creativeslowstart</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://theheartscalling.substack.com/s/welcoming-slow-growth-podcast">Welcoming Slow Growth conversations</a> on Substack</p><p>This is a space for the sacred, the soulful, and the slow creative.

12 What 11 Creatives Taught Me About Spiritual Growth
<p><strong>SHOW NOTES</strong></p><p>If you've been carrying an unwritten message, a story that feels scattered, or a calling that seems stalled, this episode is for you. In the Season 1 finale of Welcoming Slow Growth — a podcast for writers and creatives walking a faith-filled path — book coach Emily Grabatin reflects on what 11 creatives taught her about spiritual growth through one unexpected thread: the word came before the breakthrough.</p><p>Through stories of chronic illness, homelessness, life's heaviness, and humble faithfulness, you'll discover:</p><p>- Why your hidden place isn't wasted time — it's where formation happens before the first draft</p><p>- Why abiding in Christ is a creative practice, not a detour from your calling</p><p>- How a focus word or word of the year becomes more than a spiritual practice — it becomes the tether you didn't know you'd need</p><p>- Why your slow pace doesn't disqualify you from the God-given message you carry</p><p>You are not behind. You are beloved.</p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH EMILY GRABATIN:</strong></p><p>Website: <a target="_blank" href="https://emilygrabatin.ca">emilygrabatin.ca</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://theheartscalling.substack.com/">The Heart's Calling Substack</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://theheartscalling.substack.com/s/welcoming-slow-growth-podcast">Welcoming Slow Growth community</a></p><p></p><p>This is a space for the sacred, the soulful, and the slow creative.
