Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea

Episode 7 - How to Slow Down this Holiday Season

No matter how you slice it, the holiday season can be super stressful for even the most grounded and present and “awoken” of us.

It’s tough. 

The holidays bring up memories that can be joyful and nostalgic but can also drudge up sadness and can trigger anxiety and depression.

First off — you do not have to be everything to everybody.

You do you.

In this episode I talk about proper boundary setting when it comes to pushy relatives and last-minute invites, and how making a plan FIRST — when you are in a good mood —

is the absolute best way to help set yourself up for a holiday season that you absolutely love and enjoy every bitty bit of (or at least enjoy the large percentage of!)

Overview

I love helping listeners embark upon their own journey to Slow Down, and live the life they’ve always dreamt about: one filled with peace, purpose, and abundance.

I understand how you’re feeling when you are rushing around trying to do “all the things,” always playing catch up and finding time to get things done.

I know because I’m a mom too.

It’s okay to stop and breathe. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule, instead I offer realistic tips and plans to get things done quickly and efficiently so you can do things you want to do.

Stephanie's Story

I know what it feels like to want to live a calm, peaceful, and harmonious life but you feel like you can’t because there is simply too much to do. I believe that if we are lucky, life is long. You are not behind, and you don’t need to rush around, trying to catch up. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule.

Instead, I want to you to stop. Breathe. It’s all going to be okay.

I want you to live out the life you’ve always dreamt about — the one that gets you excited to get up in the morning and puts a goofy grin on your face.

Because the laundry, chores, soccer practice, meal planning, and litter box scooping? That’s not WHO you are; that’s not your identity. Those are the things you HAVE TO do.

So let’s make a realistic plan to get them over & done with, quickly & efficiently so you can finally be the person you’ve always wanted to be, and do the things you actually WANT TO do.

I am here to support you.
