What if the thing you're calling “chaos,” “overwhelm,” or “not enough time” is actually a sign that your life is running on someone else's definition of success? In today's episode, I'm joined by New York Times bestselling author and Slow Living advocate Stephanie O'Dea for a conversation that will make you rethink how you work, plan, parent, and build your business, especially if you've been craving a calmer pace but don't know where to start. Stephanie shares how a single New Year's resolution turned into 11 books, a massive online brand, and a completely different way of designing life, one rooted in intention, capacity, and tuning out the noise. We talk about redefining productivity, creating a three-year plan that actually feels doable, why journaling changes everything (even if you hate journaling), and how to build a business without burning out your brain, body, or joy. If you're heading into a new season wanting more peace, more purpose, and less rushing, this episode is your reminder that slow isn't stagnant, it's sustainable. And it may be the very thing that moves you forward the fastest. Today you'll hear:01:48 – The truth about holiday overwhelm and why acknowledging “this is too much” is the first step toward slowing down04:48 – How a crockpot, a New Year's resolution, and consistency built an accidental empire (plus what she learned about working in her true capacity)07:54 – The power of finding your pockets of time, why hustle seasons are personal, and what slow living actually looks like in different life stages09:58 – The S.L.O.W. acronym12:13 – Why Stephanie walked away from Instant Pot culture, what happened when her publisher dropped her, and the voice of intuition that redirected her business14:48 – Real-life slow living examples16:08 – How to begin slow living when your life feels too full17:48 – Why she swears by a 3-year plan (and why 1-year and 5-year goals often fail humans in real life)19:40 – The “sleep, creep, leap” model and how to use it for business, health, relationships, finances, and long-term life design21:08 – The one small daily shift to start today23:00 – Stephanie's most-requested crockpot recipe (and why her kids still make it in college)25:00 – How thinking three years ahead creates stability, peace, margin, and resilience — even when life gets unpredictable CONNECT WITH STEPHANIE:Website: stephanieodea.comInstagram: @stephanieodeaFREE daily journaling and goal setting worksheet: stephanieodea.com/daily

Learning English grammar and vocabulary is excellent fun! However, to master the language, you must use it genuinely to discuss various topics and learn new things in English. That means discussing issues and themes you like and those you do not. I will be the first to tell you that perfection is impossible because no one and nothing is perfect. With that said, it is human nature to strive for perfection. Maintain your discipline and learn something new every day. The key to improvement is consistency and repetition. This is a brief introduction to the English conversation lesson, Slow Living. I'm sure you'll find it engaging and insightful. You can access the webpage for the lesson Slow Living here: https://links.artisanenglish.jp/LessonSlowLiving At ArtisanEnglish.jp, I emphasize enabling students to improve the sophistication of their English through meaningful communication, while receiving 100% error correction and detailed written feedback after each lesson. https://links.artisanenglish.jp/TrialLesson If you'd like to try a FREE TRIAL LESSON, please get in touch with me, David, at https://www.artisanenglish.jp/contact/ If you are already an ArtisanEnglish.jp student, you can book or preview all the lesson materials.

If you're the kind of girl whose mind never shuts off — always planning, overthinking, striving, and chasing the next thing — this episode is for you.In today's episode of For You From Eve, we're talking about slow living for fast-minded girls. Not the aesthetic version of slow living, but the real, grounded kind that helps you regulate your nervous system, find presence in your day, and stop feeling like you're constantly behind — even when you're doing everything “right.”We'll talk about why ambitious women struggle so much with rest, how hustle culture wired us to feel guilty for slowing down, and how you can soften your internal pace without giving up on your goals. Because slowing down doesn't mean you stop growing — it means you stop burning yourself out on the way there.This episode is your reminder that rest is not laziness, calm is not weakness, and slow living is a skill you can learn — even with a fast, driven mind.

She began her career in fashion and the NYC art world before turning to film production and culinary work, opening her own restaurant in upstate New York and later running Danny Meyer's Union Square Café . Cooking, community, and the art of caring for people through the senses became the foundation of her work.Seeking a life more rooted in land and craft, Jill moved to the Hudson Valley, where she met her husband, photographer and author Matthew Benson, who restored Stonegate Farm into a vibrant ecosystem of organic produce, botanicals, and creative living. There, Jill co-founded Cultivate Apothecary, a skincare and wellness brand that unites her skills as a chef, sommelier, formulator, and gardener. Working directly with the botanicals she grows, she creates products and rituals designed to reconnect people to nature, nourishment, and themselves.Website: CULTIVATE APOTHECARYUSE DISCOUNT CODE: https://cultivateapothecary.com/discount/spacewithcody20FRIENDS, THIS IS THE BEST HOLIDAY GIFT EVER! ✨ Thank you for tuning into Create the Space with Cody Maher! ✨I hope this episode sparked something in you—a shift, an insight, a reminder to create space for what truly matters.

It's the most wonderful time of the year… and the most exhausting. Between the decorating, the baking, the shopping, and the pressure to make everything magical, our souls can feel more hurried than holy. In this episode, we slow down to talk about what it really means to rest during the holidays, not just physically, but spiritually.Drawing from The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, The Deeply Formed Life by Rich Villodas, and the practice of Slow Living, join us as we explore how doing less will actually help us experience more: more peace, more joy, and more presence with the people (and the God) who matter most.If you feel like you're carrying the weight of making the holidays “perfect,” this conversation will remind you that perfection isn't the point - presence is. You'll walk away with practical ideas to simplify the season, breathe deeply, and rediscover the sacred rhythm of rest, even in the holiday hurry.Show Notes:The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark ComerThe Deeply Formed Life by Rich VillodasSlow Living Articles:Already Stressed About the Holidays?https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2025-11-06/tips-holiday-overwhelm-stress-niro-felicianoHow to Slow Down During the Holidays https://caitlinhoustonblog.com/how-to-slow-down-during-the-holidays/Why Doing Nothing Intentionally is Good for Us: The Rise of the Slow Living Movement. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240724-why-doing-nothing-intentionally-is-good-for-us-the-rise-of-the-slow-living-movement

Ep539. This week, Renee chats with Stephanie O'Dea, bestselling cookbook author and host of The Slow Living Podcast, about what happens when you swap hustle culture for a slower, more intentional way of life. Stephanie shares how a New Year's resolution to use her slow cooker every day for a year turned into viral fame, cookbook deals, and a career she never saw coming — all while raising three kids. They dig into why “fast” doesn't always mean better, how to push back against hustle culture, and the simple systems that make everyday life calmer and more sustainable. Stephanie also opens up about parenting in the age of social media, money lessons she's passed on to her kids, and the daily habits that keep her grounded. It's part inspiration, part real talk — and encouragement to choose presence over perfection.

Hvis du ligner mig og er en ret målrettet person, så kan det være svært at forestille sig, at lykken venter på dig - ikke lige om hjørnet - men lige her. Uden at du behøver at gøre mere. Det er ikke, fordi det er forkert at sætte sig mål eller være ambitiøs. Det har jeg selv tænkt mig at blive ved med. Men hvis vi vil nyde vores liv i det daglige, må vi lære os selv at stoppe op og minde os selv om, at vi har nok lige her og nu.I dag dykker jeg ned i glæde, tilfredshed og lykke og taler bl.a. om forskellen på nydelse, midlertidig lykke og den mere ægte og vedvarende glæde og tilfredshed. Lyt med her, hvor jeg også kommer ind på:Dopaminfælden, og hvorfor jagten efter konstant nydelse er dømt til at mislykkes og er en sikker vej til dårlig trivselHvorfor det konstante forsøg på at optimere dit liv ofte har en paradoksal effektForskellen på en sund stræben og en usund higen efter mereHvornår tilfredshed er sundt (og hvornår det kan være problematisk)Det lille ord, der sjældent får anerkendelse nok (ordet er "nok")Hvordan du kan begynde og slutte din dag med tilfredshed>>> Se øvrige links og noter her

Når vi taler om slow living, så er naturen central. Vi mennesker er en del af naturen, men i vores samfund har mange af os mistet den umiddelbare kontakt til naturen og til årets gang og dermed til vores egen naturlige rytme.I denne episode deler jeg 6 tips til, hvordan du på enkle måder kan genetablere et tæt kontakt til naturen. Det involverer ikke (nødvendigvis), at du flytter ud af byen og bliver selvforsynende. Det handler først og fremmest om øjeblikke i løbet af dagen, hvor du genfinder rytmen og stilheden og mærker din sjæl.Jeg fortæller også lidt om, hvad det har betydet for mig at flytte fra hovedstaden til en by i skoven i Jylland. Hvilke overvejelser jeg gjorde mig i forhold til mine børn og naturen og hvorfor det at bo ude i naturen ikke altid er lige med nærvær og ro.>>> Hop over og tjek noter og links ud her
What would your life look like if you embraced less, but gained more? In this one-on-one conversation, Kelly and Lauren explore the idea of “The Pursuit of Less But More.” Together, they reflect on the areas of life where simplifying has brought them greater meaning, such as less mental clutter and more peace, and the places where excess has come at a cost, like too much work and less time with loved ones. They also discuss the hidden toll of “more but less,” from overconsumption to burnout, and share what their recent summer experiences have taught them about the importance of slowing down. Plus, you will learn about their personal routines that help keep them aligned with minimalism, the lifestyle boundaries that have given them the greatest returns, and the areas they each hope to simplify further this year. Be inspired to rethink what “more” means to you and to design a life built around clarity, balance, and intention.

His writing, including the much-lauded poem Sometimes a Wild God, stirs something ancient within, reminding readers of the chaos and beauty that lie at the heart of existence. In this conversation, we delve into the inspirations and philosophies behind his work, exploring the wild, untamed forces that shape his poetry and his perspective on creativity. Listen here Episode 82: Irreplaceable with Julian Hoffman - This week's guest is writer Julian Hoffman and we're talking about his book Irreplaceable. I read the book a few months back and as you might expect from reading the blurb, it's about those irreplaceable wild environments and the species we're in danger of losing. But it's also about the people who are so deeply connected to the landscapes and the animals they're battling to save. Julian speaks about why it's imperative that we stop the destruction of precious landscapes, how we can help at the individual level and why it's vital to maintain the connection between people and place.
