Hi friends, I’m Michelle from Opting Out, based in Brighton, UK. Here I share regular posts on slow living, rest, and opting out of burnout culture, plus my weekly Weekend Mood Board of what’s currently inspiring me. Paid subscribers also get access to our asynchronous Slow Reading Group, yoga nidra audios and pre-recorded restorative and yin yoga classes.
It’s my dream to create a community of misfits, questioners and resters. Are you in? ✨

Going slowly with Knausgaard’s “Some Rain Must Fall”, very much loving it.
