Before and After Coaching with Beth
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea episode 105: Before and After Coaching With Bethsee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesLast week we talked about creating your “3 Year Plan” when it comes to changing your life. Beth has done just that. I am so proud of her. Three years ago — during the depths of the pandemic — Beth reached out to me for some coaching. We only worked with each other for 4 weeks — but Beth took the work SERIOUSLY and completely changed the trajectory of her life in all areas of the Peace Pyramid. Listen as she explains, in her own words, the work she did and how she did it.If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to be coached of have someone on your side who is 100% cheering for you —take a listen.We really are real people and in this recording Beth shares what it was like to work with me and how she took the assignments seriously and did the work.It was sometimes not fun — and we talk about stirring up “gunk” in order to move forward —but I’m certain that by listening to the sparkle in her voice you will be motivated to start stirring up some of your own “gunk.”episode 9: How to Get What You Want When You Want Itepisode 14: Motivation is a Choiceepisode 35: Real Clients, Real Results: Beth’s Storyepisode 59: Thoughts on Codependencyepisode 67: The Messy Middleepisode 94: Sustainable Consistencyepisode 104: Creating Your 3 Year PlanOverview 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.

3 Year Plan
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea episode 104 Your Three Year Plansee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesIn this episode I walk you through the exact steps I use with my one-on-one coaching clients to map out their 3 Year Plan.stephanieodea.com/coachingThe reason we do a 3 Year Plan is because when you are trying to completely transform your life —1 year isn’t enough.Many people make 5 Year Plans — and that is fantastic when you are young and you know that you’ll graduate from this or that in this time frame or you’ll do a great big huge life event like getting married or having a baby.But when you’re a grown-up for a while — 5 years kind of gets blurry.And it feels “far away” so you have “time” to do the things — so you kind of shove them aside.resources that may be of help to you:Making and Keeping New Year’s Resolutions30 Day ChallengesSelf Care ChallengeListening to the Podcast is self-care!!

And Land
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea episode 101 "And Land"see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesIf you’ll allow me, I’d like to coach you a teeny bit today on your mindset — and how to very easily switch to a somewhat closed mindset to a Growth Mindset. I’m going to ask you how often you stay “stuck” in “Either/Or Land” instead of being in “And Land.”I wrote about this a few years ago — you can read the original article, here, if you’d like.And today on the podcast I expand a bit after really thinking how remarkable and admirable Angela was last week with her living-and-thriving-with-MS story.Ask yourself —where are you holding yourself back?are you waiting for something to HAPPEN before you start taking forward action steps?Are you waiting for the New Year?Are you waiting for the kids to be out of the house?Retirement?This is it. There aren’t any do-overs and while I love to say that if we’re lucky, life is long —you really won’t get another today. That’s just a fact.This doesn’t mean that you need to cram everything you want to do into TODAY but it does mean that you need to continuously take baby steps forward.If you need help, reach out to me. This is what I do, and I’m really good at it.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.

Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea episode 102: Angela's Story of Living with Multiple Sclerosissee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesI have the extreme pleasure of introducing you to my friend, Angela. I went to highschool with Angela, and we have children the same ages. When she was in college and newly-engaged, Angela was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.While this news was quite understandably shocking and upsetting to hear — she didn’t allow it to fully define her.It’s just a part of who she is.Listen in as Angela shares how she processed her diagnosis and decided on purpose to not let it hold her back from doing what she wanted to in life. Angela’s story is remarkable and admirable and I am so lucky to have her as a friend — In this episode she also shares how you can help support her and her mission to help others who are diagnosed with MS and help find a cure. I know we are a very generous bunch. Listen to her story and if are inclined to do so, you may donate to her fundraising page.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.
