Zen & the Art of Living Slow
Zen & the Art of Living Slow is a podcast for educators who want to stay in the work without losing themselves along the way. Hosted by Cheryl-Marie Manson, founder of Zen & the Art of School Administration and a former school administrator, and Lauren Kazee, a licensed school social worker and founder of Living S.L.O.W., the show offers practical conversations about regulating stress, leading with intention, and sustaining meaningful work in schools.

In this episode of Zen & the Art of Living Slow, we explore the powerful stories we tell ourselves—and how they shape the way we think, feel, and show up each day.
As educators and leaders, it’s easy to fall into patterns like “I can’t keep up” or “There’s not enough time.” But what if those thoughts are just stories… not truths?
