Today we are talking about Zero Sum Thinking and the troubles I see with this theory. The basis to this way of thinking is that is someone is doing better than you, they are winning and you are losing. That there can only be one winner in life. I have a really hard time with this, I don't feel that there should be one winner and one loser in life. I believe that everyone can win in anyway that servers them in life. I encourage you to put your blinders on and worry about your own game of life!Need more inspiration? Take a listen to these previous episodes that build upon this conversation!

If you are ready to ditch Hustle Culture for good while continuing to meet your personal and professional goals you are in the right place. I’m your host, Stephanie O’Dea, and I work with overachievers from all over the world who are ready to stop living life in Triage Mode and start living the life of their dreams – one filled with abundance, joy, and a sense of purpose.
Life is meant to be enjoyed – not endured.
Do you feel like life is passing you by?
Between caring for aging parents, supporting your kids, and juggling a million responsibilities, it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning. You’ve spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you’ve forgotten how to take care of YOU.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
🌟 Imagine this instead:
Waking up feeling calm, in control, and at peace.
Finally carving out time to breathe, rest, and prioritize yourself—without guilt.
Creating a life where you feel fulfilled, supported, and like you’re truly living, not just surviving.
In the Slow Living podcast, you’ll learn practical, easy-to-follow strategies to break free from the overwhelm and reclaim your life.
👩🦰 This is for you if:
You feel like you’re stretched too thin and still not enough.
You’re constantly busy but never feel accomplished.
You’re ready to stop drowning and start thriving.
✨ It’s time to save yourself, find your calm, and start living the life you deserve.
Listen now to learn more and take the first step toward peace. 🕊️
