I've found the Christmas gift to give most of your friends this year!

It's the gift of that supportive, encouraging WISE bestie we all need.

You know that one friend who seems to have it all together? Not the one with the high pressure career who also makes gourmet brownies for the school bake sale and chaperones the field trips while wearing designer clothes. No, the one who just seems to be at peace with herself and her life? But doesn't make YOU feel bad about yourself? That's Stephanie O'Dea. And what's awesome is that she is willing to share what it takes to slow down, opt out of the go go go, and enjoy your life and family while still working toward your dreams.

She does this in her new book on Slow Living.

She shows you how to build your Peace Pyramid and have the foundations you need to succeed in a life that is fully YOURS. This is not just information, it's wisdom.

This would be a great book for anyone, but especially brides and new moms, when life can really switch up and some people need help weathering transitions. O'Dea really breaks down what's needed to first identify what you need to build YOUR best life and then gives you solid steps to make that happen. She fills the book with her fun acronyms, but also relatable stories to explain what she's trying to convey. It's like she's holding your hand and guiding you.

This is a great handbook for life, particularly for the busy woman who feels like she's getting lost in everything that's expected of her. I would suggest reading this book and then following her podcast to help give you extra support in areas where you struggle. Or reach out to her directly for that support!

PS. You can find this book on Amazon, but I like to link to Bookshop.org because they support local, independently owned book stores!
