Mommy 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. 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.Show Links Simple Shortcuts to Peace - https://stephanieodea.com/peaceNew You - https://stephanieodea.com/newyouMasterclass - https://stephanieodea.com/masterclass/Simple Shortcuts to Peace - https://stephanieodea.com/peace/Website - https://stephanieodea.comBlog - https://stephanieodea.com/blog/Podcast Page - https://stephanieodea.com/podcastSpeaking Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/speaking/Coaching Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/coaching/Courses -
