The Boy Mom Podcast with Monica Swanson and Friends

August 11, 2021

Ep. 118 : Growing Slow, with Jennifer Dukes Lee

In a culture that embraces hurry, and many people wear “busy” as a badge of honor, today’s episode with Jennifer Dukes Lee invites us an alternative…one of strategically “growing slow.”  Jennifer discovered these lessons after years of fast-paced, high stress living – a season that led her to a breaking point.

Jennifer says that the lessons she shares in her book, Growing Slow, are the result of unlearning what the world taught her about success and finding the courage to walk in a world that asked her to never stop running.  Wow!  I needed this conversation at least as much as anyone. I think you’ll find Jennifer’s words and heart to be a huge encouragement!
