Episode 13: SOLO — Slow Girl Summer
Hosted by Katelyn Calhoun

In this intention setting solo episode, Katelyn leans into the energy behind Slow Girl Summer—not as a trendy aesthetic, but as a purposeful, nourishing approach to work, creativity, and rest.

She shares what summer has meant to her over the years—from childhood joy to adult burnout—and why this season, she’s choosing to savor rather than sprint. Through personal stories, kitchen metaphors, and a few real talk confessions, Katelyn explores what it means to show up for your goals without abandoning yourself in the process.

Whether you’re in a season of hustle, healing, or somewhere in between, this is your invitation to slow down and set an intention for your own version of summer.
