Ep 90Adrenal Fatigue
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 90 - Adrenal Fatiguesee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesI’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 libidoThese 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 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 89If It Looks Like a Cult
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 89 - If It Looks Like a Cultsee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesI’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 waterwear sunscreentake a sweaterdon’t do drugsstay away from creepy peopleand…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?if you’d like to share your own story — shoot me an email and we can arrange an interview for the podcast, or you can leave a voicemail, here:https://memo.fm/slowliving/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 87Control - Worthiness
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 87 - Control - Worthinesssee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesI 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.Join Simple Shortcuts to Peace at stephanieodea.com/peaceLearn more about coaching at stephanieodea.com/coachingI 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 85Mommy Blogging
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 85 - Mommy Bloggingsee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesToday’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 integrityepisode 33: dealing with childhood traumaepisode 34: interview with Sandy Cooperepisode 44: ignoring influencersepisode 58: sober curiousepisode 79: imperfect parentingOverview 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 76Emily's Story -- Escaping a MLM
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 76 - Emily's Story -- Escaping a MLMsee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesEmily Lynn Paulson is the author of “Hey Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing“ — and she joined me for a very candid interview on how she got sucked into the online MLM world and then how she got out of it.This was such a great conversation, and I immensely appreciate Emily’s honesty and candor — she likens the MLM world to being in a cult — and while that term seems rather harsh, she shares a ton of research and testimonials that back up this claim. The fact is, adulting and motherhood is terribly isolating. While I was a bit incredulous (at first) that a well-educated woman with a great family and upbringing could “fall” for a “scam” —It happens every day. Many, many, many times a day.

But then life happened. Fast forward more than twenty years, and the lockdown months of the pandemic urged Ruth to finally start writing the story that had been percolating in her brain on and off for so many years. I think we all have this urge, this inkling to DO what we’ve been putting off — and it’s so terribly easy to keep shelving this urge and this inkling.

Ep 61Slow Living Encore Series: Slowing Down for the Holidays
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 61 - Slowing Down for the Holidays see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesThis is a difficult time of the year to ‘get it all done’ —even for the most grounded and centered and zen-ish person out there. Sometimes the pressure to make everything memorable and perfect and create a photo-finish is enough to make us crack. or enough to cause our back to go out. Here I am, not able to move, a week after Thanksgiving. I knew better, but I did way too much for way too many and neglected my own wants and wishes. I know that if I stick to my sleep schedule, get up and meditate and journal before everyone else gets up, I feel calm, centered, and “in control.” BUT. this past week at work was wonky — I had many teachers out sick (I’m a school secretary) so I was scrambling to find subs, we had our own crazy schedule at home with soccer and shuttling kids back to college and then back home again because of the UC strike — and I went too fast. I KNEW I was going too fast. and then, all of a sudden, my back went out. SO, take a listen, and do better than I did. 😉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.

I recorded this a week or so ago — and the theme is about paying attention to where you are right now — and if what you are doing will be “good enough” to do for the Next 4 Years. are you on the right path? is what you are doing sustainable for another 4 years? are you happy? do you feel satisfied?I recorded this with the mindset that I am 4 years away from turning 50 — so I started asking myself these questions — can I do what I’m doing now, and not feel burnt out, not feel taken for granted, not feel overworked and under-appreciated for another 4 Years? is that a possibility? What about for YOU? if you keep going the way you’re going with your heath, your finances, your relationships —will it look okay and BE OKAY in another 4 years? If not, why not?what needs to change? take a listen and LMK your thoughts — only you know what rings true for you and in your own life. Go slow.

Ep 59Codependency
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 59 - Codependency see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesThis is a great listen — I’ve now listened to it twice, and each time I got a different juicy nugget. Beth, a former coaching client of mine, called in and said that she recently discovered that she was Codependent and wanted to know my thoughts. And honestly? Her declaration of being codependent threw me for a loop. a literal loop. because I do not think of her this way. So take a listen — and see what rings true for YOU. sometimes we hear labels or diagnoses and hear OURSELVES — but not everything can be labeled or placed into a container. and that’s what is fun about being human. and living. NOW.who you were a few months ago does not define you. your past job, your past relationship, your parents, your schooling, the books you’ve read — NONE of that defines who you are right this very second. Only you get to decide what thoughts to think and what they mean about you.

Ep 58Sober Curious
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 58 - Sober Curious see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesToday’s email and episode is about exploring the effect alcohol has in your life — is there a place for it? is it taking up too much room? In episode #24 we discussed labels — and how I’m not a fan of them. Deciding on purpose to really pay attention to how much alcohol (or food or social media) you are consuming does not mean you are an alcoholic. (Or that you have an eating disorder or are addicted to social media.) I’d like you instead to take off the label and keep an open mind and just EXPLORE. Be Curious.If something is not actively HELPING you move forward in your life and help you achieve your dream life, explore why you are continuing with it. Step 1 in living a Slow Life is to Declutter all that is not working.

Probably, right? It’s certainly a great way to shame kids and people and get them to stay in their lane. Today on the podcast we are going to flip it. If you are a mom, you most certainly ARE the center of the universe in your household. And you need to be protected and cherished and nourished and treat yourself as the valuable and irreplaceable being of which you are.Listen in as I share the thought shift that needs to happen in order for you to decide once and for all that you are IN CHARGE. And you need to protect yourself so you can do your Being In Charge properly. This isn’t a woe-is-me, I’m going to embrace martyrdom because no one else can possibly do it as good as I can — NO.

Ep 56Waiting to be Saved
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 56 - Waiting to be Saved see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesI had a few mindset upgrade coaching calls this week — (you can sign up for free, here) — (I love doing them!)and the theme was essentially the same. Feeling a bit sad. A bit down. Thinking that somehow THIS year would be different than the last two because the pandemic is essentially “over” — but now that the year is coming to the end, the women I chatted with realized that they are still in the same place. Is this you, too?And it’s tricky, because somehow we are all just sort of programmed to think that when we get through This or That or the Other busy season or tough situation things will be better. Easier. Simpler. But nothing will change unless you MAKE IT CHANGE. and depending on your mood — that either sounds empowering or debilitating.

Ep 55The Joy Is in the Journey
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 55 - The Joy Is in the Journey see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesThis week’s episode is all about enjoying the HERE and NOW. and not hoping and wishing and frantically praying for something better. Just being Here. Content. At Peace. With whatever stage and phase you are in.This is easier said than done, I know. It’s because you have a great big juicy brain and you have been told over and over again to delay gratification and that you are only allowed to reward yourself for a job well done. Stop. Take a deep breath and SLOW DOWN. This is it. There are no do-overs. YES — you can still have great big huge honking dreams and goals — but do not for a millisecond delay your contentment and your peace and your happiness until you have “reached” them. (because we all know that you’re gonna move the goalposts, anyhow!) Be happy.Be content.Cultivate joy and contentment.

Ep 54Smart Goals are Stupid
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 54 - Smart Goals are Stupid see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesIf you’ve been here for a while and have read my writing, you will know that I am a HUGE proponent of Goal Setting and Achieving. When I want something, I go out and make it happen. I really do. 🙂 BUT I HATE S.M.A.R.T. goals.Mostly because I don’t like being told what to do. Even if the somebody doing the telling is me. In this episode we talk about making goals that FEEL good — and that you are DRAWN towards — rather than being pushed into. Trust me, it is a MUCH better feeling to spring out of bed in the morning and be excited to take on the day because you are just so gosh darn thrilled to make forward progress on whatever it is you’re working on — then to feel drudgery in your body. Listen in as I explain the ins and outs of making things happen without the Hustle or the Hype. I promise, you can live out the life of your dreams — in a Slow, Calm, and Peaceful way — and still make amazing forward progress in your personal and life goals.

Ep 52Power of Consistency
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 52 - Power of Consistency see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesToday’s topic is about the Power of Consistency. And consistency is an AWFUL LOT LIKE PARENTING WHEN YOU ARE TIRED. You just do the thing you said you were going to do, even when you don’t feel like it. even when you’re tired. even if it isn’t your “best work” — and trust that just by taking the teeny tiny baby steps forward, no matter what those steps look like, will get you where you want to go.I promise you that I am no different and no better than you. I get tired and I get cranky and I would much rather curl up on the couch and binge-watch Southern Charm and yell at Shep and Craig — but. I promised myself and I promised YOU that I would keep showing up and recording these podcasts and I promised my coaching clients that I would keep listening and advising and helping and supporting. So I keep doing the things I said I would do. Consistency is my super power.

Ep 51Adult Friendships
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 51 - Adult Friendships see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesLast week we talked about Toxic People — and what to do if you feel as if someone you need to interact with regularly displays toxic behavior. Today on the podcast we are flipping that and discussing Making and Keeping Adult Friendships — because making and keeping friends as an adult is MUCH MORE DIFFICULT than it was when we were kids — kids can just “play” together — there isn’t necessarily an emotional connection and you certainly don’t need to discuss religion or politics or have “stuff in common” outside of just being in the same sandbox at the same time!Listen in as I describe what the 5 types of relationships you have to nurture and maintain as an adult and how to find casual friends and acquaintances —and how it is A-OKAY to not be living the lifestyle of a television sitcom where you have friends to hang out with at all times of the day.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.

Ep 50Dealing with Toxic People
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 50 - Dealing with Toxic People see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesLet’s talk TOXIC PEOPLE today. The easiest thing to do is to stay away from anyone who you believe is poisonous to you or to your well-being. that’s a no brainer. The problem is, that in a well-functioning society (or a family/extended family, or in a work place (which really is just a mini-society)) —sometimes you just can’t stay away. This is REAL LIFE. and in real life sometimes you just need to (unfortunately) do things you don’t want to do and interact with people you don’t want to.The newest episode of the Slow Living podcast is out and in this episode I answer a question from a listener on how to “deal with” people in your life that aren’t all that good for you. I explain the “grey rock” approach and how to put yourself into a “hamster ball” — we also talk about how to separate the Behavior from the Person —and what to do when the Behavior is no longer matching the Person because of dementia or another debilitating life event. I also share the name of my favorite book about dealing with Narcistic people.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 49Quiet Quitting
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 49 - Quiet Quitting see all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesLet’s set the record straight —living a SLOW life doesn’t mean you laze around the house doing nothing but eating bon-bons all day. It means taking the time to DECIDE what it is you want and then slowly, thoughtfully, and with intention GOING FOR IT. bit by bit, baby step by baby step. In a word, it’s anti-hustle. (is that two words? does the hyphen make it one word?) ANYWAYS. “Quiet Quitting” has been in the news an AWFUL lot lately. And the media is trying to make it seem like it’s a bad thing.

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.

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.

A lot of times we give all our “good stuff” away to others — and so then we are kind of left feeling a bit sad, a bit like we are missing “SOMETHING” —creativity — in any form — is something JUST FOR US.Just for YOU.it’s not a side hustle. it’s not something to prove to your friends (IRL or in the computer…)it is FOR YOU.Kim is the owner/operator of two online sites:Today’s Creative Life Jack Pine JonesI 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.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.

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.

I know you already know this — but it’s really difficult sometimes to weed out what is accurate and authentic and what isn’t when it comes to posts online. Listen in as I share how brands tried their hardest to convince me what I should and shouldn’t say when it came to their products and how I decided to turn money down in order to stick to my ideals and ethics.

Ep 43Imperfect 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.
