A former art director/stylist in Los Angeles, Erin Loechner has been blogging and speaking for more than a decade. Her heartfelt writing and design work has been showcased in The New York Times, Lucky, Parenting, Dwell, Marie Claire, Elle Decor, Huffington Post, and a two-season HGTV.com web special, garnering over one million fans worldwide. She has spoken for and appeared in renowned international events for clients such as Walt Disney World, IKEA, Martha Stewart and Home Depot. Now nestled in a Midwestern town, Erin, her husband, and their toddler strive for less in most areas except three: joy, grace, and goat cheese.
When you find you are drowning in your own life---working harder,
sleeping less, putting out fires, filling your hours with to-dos,
and enjoying very little of it---I pray that Erin Loechner' s
gentle, wise book will find its way into your hands. Chasing Slow
guides us to a simpler life worth living. Prepare to feel your
heart rate drop as you read these soothing, smart words. *

When the world yells, "Be more, run faster, try harder," I'll pick

Erin Loechner has a calming presence, a reassuring voice, and a
life-giving soul. You'll walk away from these pages shifted and
feeling whole instead of hurried. Her words are a brave call to a
fast-paced generation, and I cannot suggest reading them enough. *

Reading Chasing Slow is like eating a really scrumptious meal that
also happens to be good for you. Erin's voice is honest even when
it hurts, inviting even when we don't deserve the invitation. I
consumed this delicious, compelling book in a weekend and bled my
highlighter dry along the way. * -Raechel Myers, cofounder and CEO,
She Reads Truth *
Erin has always stood out as someone who knows how to get beyond
the pretty picture and all the comments and likes of social media.
In her eloquent, smart, and real story about the evolution of her
online and offline journey, she reminds us how to accept ourselves,
feel more with less, and soak up life as it come to us. * -Joy Cho,
founder, Oh Joy! *
Chasing Slow is equal parts memoir, meditation, and map to a more
peaceful life. Erin Loechner has an artist's eye for beauty, a
poet's ear for metaphor, and a scientist's mind for investigation
and clarity. Her wise voice stayed with me long after I finished
the book. * -Asha Dornfest, author, Parent Hacks and Minimalist
Parenting *
Erin takes us on a charming, meandering dance of stories,
witticisms, and wisdoms. This book is for dreamers, adventurers,
creatives, students, mamas, and professionals, but more than that,
it's for those of us feeling flawed and desperately craving
connection. I'm adding it to a very short stack of inspiring
favorites, and cannot wait to read it again. * -Whitney English,
founder and CEO, Day Designer *
With four daughters and a job that I love, it is a great challenge
for me to keep prioritized those things that give me true joy. As
more activity comes into my life, Erin's story has given me not
only inspiration but a practical framework to make healthy and
easily implemented choices. * -Barrett Ward, CEO, FASHIONABLE *
Erin's way of thinking shows the fruit of living slowly. She pulls
at every string, peeks beneath every layer. She connects the dots
of how so many of us are feeling, putting words to questions we're
only just beginning to ask. This book is beautifully written, and
you'll want to savor it. * -Hayley Morgan, coauthor, Wild and Free
*
Chasing Slow is an elegantly designed book that vulnerably recounts
the story of her journey toward a slower life. * ?Relevant Magazine
