Chelsea Hade Loving Life in Wellies

One small step at a time

Life can feel chaotic, stressful, and exhausting  and quick fixes rarely stick. I share small, gentle practices from my own wellbeing journey, designed to help you build momentum and invite slow, lasting change into your everyday life.

Do any of this feel familiar to you?

You don’t get a lot of downtime and often feel overwhelmed and flustered.

You struggle to slow down in your fast and busy life

Being productive equals success but often feels tiring, and you wonder if there’s another way of living.

You enjoy being around others who care for the environment,  advocate the importance of rest, and recognise the need for simpler, slower and kinder ways of living.

You love to learn new things with help and encouragement. 

If you have to be in a group, you prefer them to be small and like-minded. 

You prefer to support small businesses, stay local and buy ethically where possible.

You’d describe yourself as a sensitive person who can be overwhelmed by noise and light.

What slow living really means

& why it matters

Slow living isn’t about escaping the modern world — it’s about embracing it with intention. Notice your needs, honour your values, and move away from stress, perfection, and pressure. Live thoughtfully, love fully, and slow down enough to enjoy it.

Connecting mind & nature

I’ve felt it for myself—the mental, emotional, and physical boost that comes from being in nature. That’s why I love helping others get outside and experience it too. Here’s what science says:

  • Spending time in nature can lower anxiety and depression.

  • Clean, green spaces are linked to better mood and wellbeing.

  • Natural surroundings help your memory, focus, and mental flexibility.

  • Being outdoors can lift confidence, calm frustration, and reduce anger.

It can be as simple as a little fresh air, a bit of green, and your mind and body will thank you.
