Ep 132Diet Culture

Today's episode came to me in the middle of the night (yes literally!) and I had to share it with you. I want to talk about diet culture and some of the pressures that you can have from society around diets.The number one thing I want you to take away from this episode is the need for self love! The love you have for yourself needs to be complete and total unconditional love. Even though the scale might not be the number you want or your favorite pair of pants don't fit like they use to, the most important thing to remember is to love yourself unconditionally.In my coaching, I talk about health at every size with my clients. Because health is not just the number on the scale, it is also how you feel inside. Are you able to take your dog on a walk? Are you able to play with your kids or grandkids? Health is about so much more than the physical appearance. When it comes to food, I don't cancel anything out. I believe in balance and lifiving life! However, I do have an acronym for "DIET" that I use every day - Do I Eat This? I ask myself how will it make me feel? This is something that has helped me in my personal journey!Do you want more episodes to review for more self love?

Ep 127Financial Literacy

Today we are talking about money! But probably not in the way you are thinking. We are talking all about financial literacy. I am sharing my life's story and how I became financially literate.What is financial literacy? It is the ability to understand and use financial skills to make informed and effective decisions about money.I grew up in a very frugal home. My parents and grandparents taught me so many life lessons around this. However, early in my marriage my husband and I started playing around with credit cards and quickly found ourselves in debt. It was not until after the birth of our first child that we realized that this was not the best life choice. So, we stopped and started educating ourselves in our finances. We started reading book and watching shows to learn anything we could on how to be smart in our spending. And I am sharing it all with you today!If you want more financial information - go back to these previous episodes and figure out what your FIRE number is!Episode 15 Know Your Number -- FIRE MovementEpisode 66 What is your FIRE Number?

Ep 126Getting into Yoga

Today we are talking about one of my favorite things to do for my own physical and mental health... YOGA! It has taken me many years to embrace yoga but has truly transformed both my mind and body.I took my first yoga class when I was only 18 years old. A friend and I decided to try hot yoga and we soon realized that it was not for the faint of heart. Needless to say we did not make it through the entire class. But this started my wellness journey.I always looked at exercise as a way to keep my body looking a certain way. Through my 20-30s exercise was just something that I did, it was not a mind and body connection. I tried light weight training which led to high interval training. But ultimately I felt that disconnect between my mind and body.Since then I have rediscovered yoga and it has been a fantastic way to stay present and healthy. One of my favorite online yoga resources is Yoga with Adriene. She has an amazing YouTube channel full of great yoga videos. Follow along with her below!Yoga with AdrieneAdriene's YouTube Channel If you practice yoga or decide to try it for the first time let me know!

Ep 122Zero Sum Thinking

Today we are talking about Zero Sum Thinking and the troubles I see with this theory. The basis to this way of thinking is that is someone is doing better than you, they are winning and you are losing. That there can only be one winner in life. I have a really hard time with this, I don't feel that there should be one winner and one loser in life. I believe that everyone can win in anyway that servers them in life. I encourage you to put your blinders on and worry about your own game of life!Need more inspiration? Take a listen to these previous episodes that build upon this conversation!

Ep 120Getting Calm Without Meds - Adi's Story

I can't be the only one who struggles with stress and anxiety, right? There are many techniques that help to control some of it, but what happens when it builds up and leads to something bigger? Do you ever find yourself in the middle of a panic attack with no way to calm yourself?Today we are chatting with the woman behind CalmiGo! Adi Wallach is an inventor, who through her own struggles created a drug-free way to deal with anxiety. Adi started experiencing panic attacks and tried different techniques to calm them; including yoga, therapy, relaxation techniques, and diet changes. While she benefited from all of them, she found that nothing helped her while she was having a panic attack. Adi did not want to rely on medications and their side effects, so she set out to create a product that could help! Starting with research, she discovered what methods helped during a panic attack. She used these to create CalmiGo, which is available to adults and children 6 years and up. Parents are excited for a drug-free solution to help children with their stress and anxiety!What methods are found in CamiGo?Adaptive Breathing RegulationsMulti-Sensory StimulationCalming ScentsLearn more about Adi's natural solution for immediate relief in moments of distress!calmigo.com https://calmigo.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mycalmigo/Want to know more about living a slowed down life?!Simple Shortcuts to Peace Course - https://stephanieodea.com/peaceDaily Journaling https://stephanieodea.com/daily New Year, New You Mini Challenge - https://stephanieodea.com/newyouJoin me for my LIVE Masterclass - https://stephanieodea.com/masterclass/Website - https://stephanieodea.comBlog - https://stephanieodea.com/blog/Slow Living Podcast - https://stephanieodea.com/podcastSpeaking Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/speaking/Coaching Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/coaching/Courses - https://stephanieodea.com/courses/Contact - stephanieodea.com/contact/

Ep 110Something from Nothing: Erin's Story

Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 110: Something from Nothing with Erin ChaseToday is a fun episode --- I sit down with Erin Chase, from the $5 Dinner Mom and My FreezEasy websites. Erin and I have been friends for over 15 years, and in this episode she shares how she turned her simple idea into an online empire. And she did it all (in the beginning) with absolutely no-money down.The past few episodes have been talking about The American Dream -- and whether or not it's dead or still alive and kicking. Things have definitely changed --- no one is going to argue that inflation isn't happening or the economy hasn't shifted. Remember, step 5 of living a Slow Life is to tweak and fine-tune --- but I don't want you to ever give up on your dreams. Listen as Erin and I talk about the beginning of getting our websites off of the ground, working with our literary agent (she and I had the same one for a little bit) and how she, ALSO, emailed the Rachael Ray show and ended up on it.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 109 Steph's Publishing Storiessee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesIn this episode I share my publishing stories. Each book I've written has a slightly different story -- but the fact is that it wasn't something that just "happened" --- I've had the idea that I was a writer who wanted to write books since childhood.When I was in my very early twenties I began querying literary agents and it took close to 5 years of "NOs" before I got my first YES. And then I got fired from that publisher.Listen in as I share the formula and path that I took to find my first literary agent, how I kept going even when it seemed like it wouldn't ever work and how even though I THINK I'm pretty smart, I still fell for a scam. I also share the exact numbers I've gotten for advances, because I know a few of you were wondering.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 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.

Ep 103And 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.

Ep 97Faking It is Bad Advice

Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 97 - Faking Itsee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesThis week’s episode is Part 2 of a 2-part series on Ignoring Bad Advice. I didn’t know when I recorded episode 96 that I’d get another example of “bad advice” the very next day on a coaching call — but I did — and I wanted you all to have the same info that I gave my client.The same way “feel the fear and do it anyway” is terrible advice because asks that you ignore your instincts and intuitions —“fake it ’till you make it” is equally (if not more so!) bad advice because you may put others (inadvertently, perhaps) at risk.What do I mean? Okay — so, if you are new at a job — you are new. You are not experienced yet, nor are you an expert.And that is alright! But don’t pretend to be something you’re not —that will always backfire because your brain and body aren’t connected and you will know that you are lying.and lying feels bad.Similar episodes that will help:#16 Matching Identity & Integrity#37 How to Find Your Purpose#88 Reprogramming Internal DialogueOverview 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.

Ep 92Self-Sabotage

Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 92 - Self-Sabotagesee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesToday I want to discuss self-sabotage — what it is, and whether or not you think on some level you may be holding yourself back from moving forward with your personal and professional goals. Self-sabotage sometimes looks like this —you have an idea. A GREAT idea. So you start making plans to put this idea into motion. You tell yourself “this is it. No matter what, I am going to do this thing and not give up and this is going to change my life.” But then real life happens. and obstacles come up that get in the way of what you planned to do, in the way you planned to do it. So you lose momentum. and then you give up. And then, if you are a like a lot of people, you begin to beat yourself up in your head and this causes you to no longer want to go for GREAT ideas.Similar episodes that will help with this mindset shift:#9 How to Get What you want When You Want It#14 Motivation is a Choice#27 Creating Stability#28 Mindset is Everything#56 Waiting to Be Saved#84 Mindset/Action/Consistency#88 Shifting Internal DialogueOverview 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.
