About the Writer

I'm Brett, a lifelong creative with a deep love for design, storytelling, and vintage beauty. After retiring early due to an autoimmune illness, I found healing in the rhythm of slow living — and a passion for helping others rediscover their creativity in the quiet corners of life. Through The Slow Hearth, I hope to offer not just inspiration, but also comfort and connection.

So pull up a chair, warm your hands by the hearth, and let’s slow down together.
