I’m Stephanie O’Dea, a New York Times bestselling author and longtime advocate for slow living. Each week, I share simple, practical ways to create a calmer, more intentional life—without chasing productivity, perfection, or someone else’s version of success. This podcast isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters, at a pace that actually feels good. We talk about real life—routines, relationships, time, health, home, and the quiet decisions that shape your days. You’ll hear solo episodes, honest conversations, and occasional coaching moments designed to help you step back, reset, and move forward with clarity. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, more present, and more like yourself again, you’re in the right place.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/slow-living-living-fully-without-hustle-or-hype-4139581"},"episode":{"title":"Shelly session 2 (Part 1): County Fairs, Hobbies, Time Blocking, and Continuing to Establish Boundaries","slug":"shelly-session-2-part-1-county-fairs-hobbies-time-blocking-and-continuing-to-establish-boundaries","published_at":"2026-02-09T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/slow-living-living-fully-without-hustle-or-hype-4139581/shelly-session-2-part-1-county-fairs-hobbies-time-blocking-and-continuing-to-establish-boundaries","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/slow-living-living-fully-without-hustle-or-hype-4139581","url":"https://stephanieodea.com/podcast","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/70b091eb-84a0-47e8-ac4a-361db5d9d590.mp3","summary":"BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! Stephanie and Shelly kick off this episode with a fun chat about County Fairs, table scapes, and Stephanie’s entries in the Home and Hobby Garden. The conversation quickly shifts to Shelly’s new role at work and the challenge of creating a routine that actually works with her new hours. They dig into productivity, time management, and a time-blocking exercise that helped Shelly see where her time and energy were really going. From morning routines to the supportive scrapbooking community Shelly checks in with daily, this episode is all about balance and connection. The conversation wraps with an honest look at boundaries, caregiving, and what it means to be an introverted extrovert—especially when navigating family dynamics. It’s a warm, relatable episode full of self-awareness, growth, and encouragement you won’t want to miss. Want to know more about living a slowed down life?!
