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.

Episode 91 - Time Blocking

see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotes

In this newest episode I talk about Time Blocking and how I’ve always sort of followed a 5 to 9 schedule instead of a 9 to 5.

It works for me, and for many of the women I’ve worked with throughout the years.

that said, the only system that will work is one that you have adapted to YOU and YOUR life situation and phase.

You can download a time blocking worksheet along with the daily journaling worksheet at stephanieodea.com/daily

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.

Adrenal Fatigue Jun 26, 2023

Episode 90 - Adrenal Fatigue

see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotes

I’ve had personal experience with symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue and many of the women I’ve worked with have, too.

it stinks.

According to a super quick google search, the symptoms are:

— fatigue

— poor stress response & mood regulation

— memory issues or “brain fog”

— cravings for sweet foods and need for sugar

— insomnia

— frequent urination

— belly fat

— decreased libido

These also are pretty much ALL of the symptoms of a hormonal imbalance such as what happens during perimenopause.

Because of this, many medical professionals are hesitant to call adrenal fatigue a “real” issue.

SO.

Since I am most certainly NOT a medical professional please listen to this podcast with an open mind, do your own research, and do not take any of this as a substitute for reaching out to your own doctor.

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

Episode 89 - If It Looks Like a Cult

see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotes

I’m not sure about you — but I try to impart “life lessons” on the kids each time they leave the house —

I say things like:

drink a lot of water

wear sunscreen

take a sweater

don’t do drugs

stay away from creepy people

and…

don’t join a cult!

In this newest episode of the Slow Living Podcast I share how I had an early fascination with cults starting with the Waco, Texas compound of Branch Davidians led by David Koresh.

I remember watching Live TV (remember live tv??) — and seeing the federal agents surround the compound and then the fire set intentionally by the people inside and just felt flabbergasted —

how could such a thing happen?

how could people choose on purpose to follow a leader to their demise?

Episode 88 - Internal Dialogue

Today’s podcast episode is about how to reprogram your brain.

It’s kind of a neat topic, and one I’ve explored for over 25 years or so now.

Listen as I share all of the tools I’ve got sharpened, and ready to use in my toolbox to help shift the thoughts and internal brain chatter that crops up from time to time that doesn’t help me move forward.

Slow Living isn’t about not doing anything.

I want you to move towards your longterm personal and professional goals — it’s no fun to feel like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel.

But I want you to get there in a steady, methodical, and sustainable way.

If you have any questions, let me know — I’m happy to help.

Episode 87 - Control - Worthiness

see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotes

I still, to this day, struggle with feelings of unworthiness.

I still, to this day, feel like I haven’t done enough, my ideas aren’t fresh enough, and that my clothes aren’t correct for whatever the situation at hand may be.

Sometimes.

and it’s getting less and less often as the years go on.

If you feel that this is something you need to poke at within yourself, I encourage you to do so.

The only way to get to the other side is to go through the uncomfortableness — even if it feels like an episode of Dora the Explorer and you have to crawl through the mucky swamp and climb the tallest mountain and tiptoe through the field of itchy thorns.

Work - Life Balance May 29, 2023

Episode 86 - Work - Life Balance

see all podcast episodes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotes

Work / Life balance.

Because working all the time isn’t fun.

and laying around doing nothing gets old and boring pretty darn quick.

there needs to be some sort of balance. When I was younger I thought that work/life balance meant that I needed to do a bit of EVERY BITTY THING each and every day, no matter what.

Nope.

That’s a recipe for burnout.

instead, I teach you to listen to your body and honor her — and do the things that feed and nurture your soul.

While STILL crossing those pesty To-Dos off your list.

Mommy Blogging May 22, 2023

Episode 85 - Mommy Blogging

see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotes

Today’s podcast episode wasn’t planned.

I didn’t think I was going to record the morning that I did — but felt compelled to do so.

I got up early in the morning to do my thing, but read a headline that a blogger I once knew and followed a million years ago (15 years ago, but who’s counting…)

had died.

and it shook me.

So I began recording.

Listen in as I share my thoughts, process my feelings in real-time, and share my key take-aways on the way writing online has shifted and morphed throughout the years and why it’s still something that I do, and am proud of.

Heather Armstrong, the blogger I’m discussing, took her own life.

I do not go into detail, but if you can already tell that this isn’t something you want to know anything about —

don’t listen.

Within this episode I write about how I got started blogging, how deciding on purpose to start a website and stick to it (with my rudimentary business plan!) changed the trajectory of my life forever and how proud I am of the boundaries I put in place from the very beginning.

I read an excerpt from The Mommy Blogger Next Door: AKA How I Became the CrockPot Lady and also share a few other episodes that may be of interest.

episode 16: matching your identity with integrity

episode 33: dealing with childhood trauma

episode 34: interview with Sandy Cooper

episode 44: ignoring influencers

episode 58: sober curious

episode 79: imperfect parenting

I’ve got an exercise for you to do today while you listen to the current podcast episode.

In the newest Slow Living podcast episode I share how I just popped off the phone with a former coaching client before recording.

She seemed floundery.

And I wanted to remind her how AWESOME she is and how she had SO MANY TOOLS in her arsenal — she just needed to go back, pick one, and start back up again.

Learn more about one-on-one coaching at stephanieodea.com/coaching

As I explained to her — and then again in the podcast episode for all of you —

You can’t “action” your way out of a mindset or a consistency problem.

But many (many!!!!) times we want to. It’s easier to find a new SOMETHING then it is to stay consistent with the current path because our brains want something shiny and glittery.

Listen in as I share really good solid tips & trick you can do TODAY to start sticking to your master plan on an ongoing basis.

the only way to meet your personal & professional goals is to keep working, each and every day, one teeny tiny baby step at a time.

If you are tired, you are not alone.

Studies have proven that on average, the adult female makes roughly 35,000 micro-decisions a day.

When you throw in spouses, children, pets, and being “in charge” —

that number multiplies.

Decision Fatigue is a real thing.

I promise there are ways to lessen this mental load and create tried & true systems that WORK.
