Episode 32: Enchantment w/ Katherine May

Katherine May is an internationally renowned writer, podcaster and speaker whose work touches on nature, spirituality, slow living and neurodivergence. Her hybrid memoir Wintering was a global bestseller, adapted as BBC Radio 4’s Book of the Week, and shortlisted for the Porchlight and Barnes & Noble Book of the Year. Her most recent title, Enchantment became an instant New York Times bestseller. We talked about slowing down, Wintering and her most recent book. Enchantment. It was a conversation filled with wonder. I hope you find it as restorative as I did.
