In this heartfelt conversation, we welcome our close friend Christina Mattsson, the first guest in our Unhurried Voices series. A former corporate high-achiever turned nutritional therapist, Christina shares her journey from burnout to reconnection—with herself, her body, and the natural world.
Raised in rural Sweden, nature was always part of her life. But it wasn’t until years abroad and the strain of a fast-paced lifestyle that she truly recognised its healing power. Her story weaves together personal awakening, deep grief, and a return to simplicity.
Together, we explore:
• Nature as a source of meaning, comfort, and physiological alignment
• Small, sustainable steps to reclaim a slower, more intentional life
• Why true wellbeing isn’t complicated, and how modern wellness has become a performance rather than a birthright
• The grief and growth that come with breaking from societal norms
• How slowing down helps us feel more, connect deeper, and live more truly
Christina opens up about letting go of the “silent rulebook of success”, the emotional cost of over-achievement, and the quiet courage it takes to build a life rooted in rhythm and rest. Her dream? A world of seasonal living, local food, and community grounded in presence—not sameness.
She leaves us with this reminder: start small. Grow herbs. Step outside. Reclaim your rhythm—one unhurried moment at a time.
