About Stephanie |

Stephanie O'Dea is a New York Times best-selling author, host of the Slow Living podcast, and a mom of three. She writes, coaches, teaches, and speaks about all things Slow Living, inspiring others to find peace, efficiency, and healthy productivity in their daily lives. Through her own journey, Stephanie has mastered the art of making time for purposeful, intentional living every day.
