Hello! I’m Zoe, a writer, producer, blogger, slow living enthusiast & mum of 2

I founded The Ethical Guide in 2020 to guide and inspire those trying to pursue a gentler, more conscious way of living.

Since becoming a parent, my passion for sustainable living has grown even stronger – driven by a deepening concern for the natural world and our connection to it.

I decided to launch this blog as a platform to share tips, ideas, resources and inspiration to help others like me live mindfully and sustainably across all areas of life.
