Hello! I’m Hannah Forgey. I'm a slow living advocate, mom of three wild kids, and wife to my best friend of 12 years. Our family proudly lives in Missouri, USA in the heart of the Ozark Highlands.

​

Before motherhood, I earned two degrees in business, taught secondary business/computer classes, and was a financial producer for a food service marketing firm.

​

Not long ago, I was really struggling as a mom. I was unhappy, discontent, and not to mention overwhelmed. As a recovering perfectionist, I was putting a lot of pressure on myself and mom-guilt was very real. And even though I had three beautiful kids, I wasn’t enjoying motherhood.

 

So what changed? I did. I started researching this idea of Slow Living and how leading a slower, intentional life can help you and your family. I started prioritizing my time and being mindful of my thoughts. And you know what, I got my motherhood back!

​

I now have time and space to appreciate the things that I value most. I relish smart conversations and finding ways to make life simpler. I really light up when presented with opportunities to create special moments with my family. I’m on a mission to live a slower, intentional life filled with adventure and purpose.

 

Some of my favorite things are: outdoor adventures with my family (we love hiking, biking, kayaking, and campfires), cozying up with a good book, period tv dramas, chai lattes, wildflowers, crisp clean laundry, music with soul, travel, and Jesus.

​

I created the Simply Slow Living podcast to offer a perspective shift for moms who, like me, need hope in motherhood. I am committed to encouraging other mamas to slow down, simplify, and enjoy the sweetness of motherhood.
