Grow With Soul Ep.02: Slow Living In The Hustle of Online Business with Geoffrey & Grace

Episode-02_-Slow-Living-In-The-Hustle-Of-Online-Business-2.png

Melanie Barnes, perhaps better known online as Geoffrey & Grace, is a blogger living by the sea in Sussex, England with her husband Leo, 6 year old daughter Bailey and cat Juniper. Melanie writes about slow, wholehearted and creative living, and she has worked with brands like 20th Century Fox, The Linen Works, Farrow and Ball, Vitabiotics, and Toast. Central to Geoffrey & Grace is the belief that in order to experience those wholehearted moments that are present every day we need to slow down and reconnect to our bodies. Before having her daughter, Melanie taught yoga and was a massage therapist, so wellbeing is at the heart of everything she does.

In this episode we talk about how Melanie balances slow living with the ‘fast’ world of blogging and social media, and we also get into our thoughts about the ‘hustle’, money, and practical things you can do to tune into your body and intuition more. Through my conversation with Melanie I realised some things about my own priorities, so I hope you find this episode as enlightening as I did.
