About this listen

Host Catherine Cowell is joined by Maria Garvey for a conversation about retirement, rootedness, and rediscovering the transformative power of community and presence. Maria shares her personal journey from a life of professional busyness to a slower, more intentional rhythm grounded in her local village. She explores themes of loneliness, the quiet revolution of love, vulnerability as strength, and embracing life with playfulness and authenticity. With wisdom, humor, and touching stories—including goose rescues, therapeutic clowning, and the quiet magic of shared tea—this episode is a celebration of the sacredness found in everyday connection.
