Weekly audio stories + Monthly companion printable zines 
Inspired by the quiet beauty of a slow lifestyle.

Each short piece of fiction is a gentle reminder of older rhythms — a warm hug, a walk in the woods, a moment beside a kettle as it begins to hum. Stories that feel like coming home.
 

Written and narrated by Australian author Julie Ann, every audio story and dòigh beatha zine invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect — with nature, cozy hobbies, solitude, and the simple pleasures that shape a more intentional life.
 

A small weekly and monthly ritual for those drawn to simple living, cozy life, and the quiet magic of ordinary moments.

THE QUIET IN AN OVERSTIMULATED WORLD

When days feel too loud, too fast, and too full of screens, A Wild and Simple Life becomes a soft place to land — not to consume more content, but to rest inside a voice and a moment that asks nothing of you at all.

when everything is up and running.

Quitting Social Media 2.png

We are living in a world of constant input.

Infinite scrolling. Algorithms competing for attention. Endless content designed to keep us consuming, clicking, reacting, comparing and people are becoming exhausted. Not only mentally - but emotionally.

 

We are overstimulated yet undernourished. Connected to everything, yet disconnected from ourselves. Surrounded by content, yet starving for meaning.

 

Many people no longer know how to truly rest, and instead collapse in front of another screen (eg. Netflix or the News). 

 

This is where good stories matter. â€‹Stories about rain on old rooftops, gardens and kitchens and quiet walks, small towns and changing seasons and ordinary people rediscovering beauty in simple things.

​

These are the stories that remind us how to be human again.

We have exciting things in the works. Be the 

first to hear about them!

​

Each issue celebrates simple living, slow lifestyle rhythms, and connection to nature, offering cozy reflections, creative prompts, and gentle inspiration for a quieter way of life.​
