It’s okay to think up wild ideas. and it’s ALSO OKAY to not know how they might “come true.” Suspend your disbelief for a while.

If you aren’t a fan of New Year’s Resolutions because you think they don’t “work” — then I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

You can do this too. It’s time. If you’ve been waiting for a nudge from the Universe — this is it. You have GOT THIS. You really really do. Nothing is too far-fetched for the person who refuses to listen to reason.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.
