By Sandy Sonier

She educates on the many health issues that stress can manifest and shares easy steps to manage daily stressors, so you too can experience more energy and learn how to embrace self-care and bring more peace and joy into your life. Sandy also includes affirmations, an energy check list, and a few of her favorite easy recipes. Sandy wanted this book to be a simple “go-to” guide as she knows from personal experience that when you are feeling overwhelmed, you crave simplicity. You will discover that taking small, healthy steps will have a huge impact on how you feel and your overall wellbeing.
