Something from Nothing: Erin's Story

Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 110: Something from Nothing with Erin ChaseToday is a fun episode --- I sit down with Erin Chase, from the $5 Dinner Mom and My FreezEasy websites. Erin and I have been friends for over 15 years, and in this episode she shares how she turned her simple idea into an online empire. And she did it all (in the beginning) with absolutely no-money down.The past few episodes have been talking about The American Dream -- and whether or not it's dead or still alive and kicking. Things have definitely changed --- no one is going to argue that inflation isn't happening or the economy hasn't shifted. Remember, step 5 of living a Slow Life is to tweak and fine-tune --- but I don't want you to ever give up on your dreams. Listen as Erin and I talk about the beginning of getting our websites off of the ground, working with our literary agent (she and I had the same one for a little bit) and how she, ALSO, emailed the Rachael Ray show and ended up on it.Overview 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 - https://stephanieodea.com/courses/Contact - stephanieodea.com/contact/Stephanie's Story I know what it feels like to want to live a calm, peaceful, and harmonious life but you feel like you can’t because there is simply too much to do.
