Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea

Episode 10 - Planning the Dream - Mapping Out Your 5 Year Plan

Are you living your Dream Life? If not, why not??

In this episode Steph chats about how she planned out her life in 5 year chunks starting at about age 20 —

and how, somehow, even if it doesn’t really “make sense” — everything she's always planned out has come true. 

learn how in one of her 5 year chunks of planning out her life she went from being in debt to buying their first suburban home and essentially becoming self-made millionaires by age 30.

listen how one of her dreams was to stay home with her children and how a high-profile court case pushed that dream into fruition — even though “on paper” — quitting this well-paid county job didn’t make any sense?

~~ ~~ ~~

does this mean that everything has always been sunshine and roses and sparkly unicorns??

No. Life is always unpredictable and has twists and turns and forks in the road.

Bad things happen. Sickness happens, death happens, natural disasters happen.

but that doesn’t mean you give up on your plan.

I hope you enjoy this episode and it sparks your own internal flame to get your own dream life mapped out.

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. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule, instead I offer realistic tips and plans to get things done quickly and efficiently so you can do things you want to do.
