Happy Sunday Slow Down Society!!

this is the 16th edition of the Sunday Slow Down -- which is a weekly recap of things that have been happening in my world -- both online and in real life.

I hope you are all doing well.

I can't believe we are finally at the end of January --- this seemed like a NEVER ENDING month ---

I can't believe it was only 30 days ago that I was gobbling down Black Eyed peas and daydreaming about the future.

SPEAKING OF ...

how are you all doing with your New Year's Resolutions?

I'm happy to report that everything I said that I was going to do in January I have done.

So -- I'm taking Tuesday, Feb 1st off work to celebrate!!

#booyah!

If January didn't live up to your expectations -- or you're having a hard time getting your year started in a way that makes you feel good about yourself -- reach out to me.

This is what I do.

Also, you may really benefit from downloading the "taking stock of the here and now" workbook pages for making and creating New Year Resolutions that work -- you can download them, here.

I am so thrilled and proud and excited to share that the Slow Living Podcast has been getting some attention and ended up ranking really well this past week on the Goodpods podcast app.

We came in #3 in the Parenting category, #8 in Kids & Family, and #29 in Mental Health --- not too shabby!

There are now 16 episodes -- 4 months worth -- that you can binge-listen in your favorite podcast app or online at stephanieodea.com/podcast.

The newest episode got released this past week and it's about matching your identity with your integrity --

which is an idea that has been percolating around in my mind for a few years.

The fun part about learning how to podcast is that if you put me in front of a microphone I am able to get the stuff out much faster than if I sit in front of the computer and type!

in this episode I share how for the longest time I let my mindset and negative self-chatter talk me out of celebrating my wins and made me feel as if I was mis-aligned

after listening you will:

🌈 learn that it's completely normal to have competing thoughts and 'voices' in your head

🌈 discover how taking the time to figure out what you really want to be "when you grow up" is the most valuable time you will ever spend

🌈 learn how chanting affirmations will not help change your identity

🌈 begin to shift your negative self-talk and beliefs to benefit all areas of your life

🌈 hear how to get the most "bang for your buck" when it comes to coaching and mentorship

Take a listen in your favorite podcast app, or online

There is a new blog post up on the site -- and in it I write about how maybe Charlie Sheen was right after all when it come to thinking about "winning" (#winning!) --

you can read that article, here.

Sheldon got his official graduation certificate in the mail this past week --

there are 3 levels of Companion Dog training and he finished level 1. Once he goes through all 3 levels my hope is that he can come to school with me and spend some time "reading" with the kids who need extra love and hugs.

This is the second-to-last day for the "2022" coupon code to work in the online store.

You can use it for 22% off of all of the ebooks and meal plans -- including the meal plan bundle.

If you haven't bought any of the meal plans or the bundle yet -- consider yourself fore-warned, because the prices haven't increased since 2016 and I'm ready to bump each kit up to $5 because they keep increasing the subscription price of the software I need to use to keep the shopping cart up and running.

here is a direct link to the meal kits:

and here you go --- just for fun:

Okay! That is it for me for this Sunday.

Consider yourself loved and hugged.
I think you're wonderful.
