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":"Soft Living vs Slow Living: What's the Difference?","slug":"soft-living-vs-slow-living-what-s-the-difference","published_at":"2026-01-19T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/slow-living-living-fully-without-hustle-or-hype-4139581/soft-living-vs-slow-living-what-s-the-difference","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/a1eeed5c-631e-44d2-9a26-715ec3e579ea.mp3","summary":"BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE!
