It really sounds backwards, right, to be talking about doing MORE or being MORE while on a list about Slow Living? I know. Hear me out. If you’ve been following along for the past 48 weeks, you know that living a SLOW LIFE doesn’t mean that you are lazing around the house eating bon-bons and watching life pass you by. No.Being Intentionally Slow means that you are taking the time to cull the things from your day-to-day life that no longer serve you and you are Making a PLAN to do the things that you WANT to do —and you’re not just doing the things that you Have to do or the things that you think you “SHOULD” be doing — and when you do these things — the WANT-TO-DOs — it feels pretty darn good. but sometimes? part of being an adult is just getting to work. Because you’ve got to pay bills, keep milk in the fridge, etc. etc. and that is what we are going to talk about today.I hope you enjoy this episode — and AS ALWAYS — if you have any questions or comments, shoot me an email or tag me @stephanieodea on Instagram or Facebook or record a voicemail question.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.

Overcoming Overwhelm
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 47 - Overcoming Overwhelm see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotes“There’s too much to do and not enough time to do it!”Sound familiar? Even in today’s advanced societal age — women really do bear the burden of having TOO MANY THINGS TO DO. it’s not fair. it’s not right. and it seems as if it’s really not going to change any time soon. but you can ABSOLUTELY do something about the feeling of overwhelm that can knock you out — especially when you are at your lowest. and that’s what we are going to talk about today.Listen in as I answer a listener question from Michelle about how to properly set boundaries and learn how to “pay herself first” and foremost — we also discuss coping strategies, when to say NO to social invitations and obligations how to recover when you feel in the midst of an upcoming panic attack or freak out why talking to yourself like a little kid is a valuable skill to learnand how Acceptance of Reality goes a very long way in living a calm, peaceful, tranquil, and SLOW life.I hope you enjoy this episode — and AS ALWAYS — if you have any questions or comments, shoot me an email or tag me @stephanieodeaon Instagram or Facebook or record a voicemail question.

I mentioned Kim briefly in episode 44, when I was discussing online influencers and after I finished that recording, I texted right away and asked if she’d be willing to be on the show. we chatted so long that this interview is in 2 parts.Kim and I get right down to being personal and transparent about WHY and HOW the internet can suck out and chip away at creativity and how to put your blinders on so you DO YOU — Because we all are creative beings — it doesn’t matter what your creative side looks like — crafting, writing, gardening, scrapbooking, homesteading, decoratingbut if you spend too much time looking at what other people are doing you can think you aren’t all that creative. and that’s not fun. This is it, this is life. Do the things you’ve wanted to do — start small, start slow, and start creating.Kim is the owner/operator of two online sites:Today’s Creative Life Jack Pine Jones We also go off topic a bit (a lot) and talk about hormones, MLMs, online influencers, making money on blogs, aging, and how we both sleep with CPAP machines.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.

Imperfect Action
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 43 - Imperfect Actionsee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesLet’s talk taking action — even when you don’t feel like it. because in order to move from where you are to where you want to go, you have got to do something about it. You can’t just sit around and hope and wish for change —you’ve got to actually do the things that need to be done. even when you’re tired. or bummed out. or when it’s too hot or too cold. and that really really really stinks.And I’ve got to tell you, this does not come easy to me sometimes. I have a lazy streak and I’d a lot of times rather just sit on the couch and not do anything even though I *KNOW* I’d feel accomplished and better about myself if I just got up and did SOMETHING. Also?I’m a bit of a perfectionist. and it’s really easy to tell myself “why bother if it’s not going to be all that good anyway?”That’s what this episode is about.I hope you enjoy this episode — and AS ALWAYS — if you have any questions or comments, shoot me an email or tag me @stephanieodea on Instagram or Facebook or record a voicemail question.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.

Creating a Morning Routine
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 41 - Creating a Morning Routinesee all Slow Living Podcast notes, here.Let’s talk morning routines. There’s a lot of schtuff that floats around on the internet that says that you HAVE GOT TO do this or that or the other thing in order to have a solid morning routine. NO. You don’t.This is real life and real life isn’t perfect.I’d like for you to take some time today and figure out what would make YOU FEEL GOOD each morning — something that would set you up for success — and what you do might be opposite of what your neighbor down the street does who is “crushing it” — and that is okay. but if you aren’t fully at peace — if you haven’t conquered all of the things you want to do yet here on this planet — and you’re worried you might not be on the correct trajectory — change it.you are in charge and you get to decide what works for you and what doesn’t.n this recording I share that I have created a one-page journaling worksheet that I use (I do take a stack along when we travel, too! 😉 ) every morning while my coffee is brewing.We are going to have an August journaling challenge in the facebook group. We’d love to have you join in!Here is the worksheet. I hope you find it useful.

It’s tricky. I’m not going to lie and say that everything is always going to be sunshine and roses and sparkly unicorns when you learn how to SLOW DOWN — But. There are definitely some things that you (and Tracy!) can do to help ease the burden and the anxiety.I hope you enjoy this episode — and AS ALWAYS — if you have any questions or comments, shoot me an email or tag me @stephanieodeaon Instagram or Facebook or record a voicemail question. Please know that you’re not alone if you feel this way from time to time —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.
