Episode 44 - Ignoring Influencers

Today’s episode is about how difficult it can sometimes be to put blinders on and Play Your Own game —

because of Influencers —

I get a bit personal in this episode and share quite a few stories and incidents that have occurred in my own life while I was in the midst of my A Year of Slow Cooking/Crockpotting adventures.

Because not all that you see is real.

I know you already know this — but it’s really difficult sometimes to weed out what is accurate and authentic and what isn’t when it comes to posts online.

Listen in as I share how brands tried their hardest to convince me what I should and shouldn’t say when it came to their products and how I decided to turn money down in order to stick to my ideals and ethics.

I also list two movies that are really eye-opening when it comes to Influencer culture.

I hope you enjoy this episode — and AS ALWAYS — if you have any questions or comments, shoot me an email or tag me @stephanieodea

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.
