Slow Living for Modern Women: A life-changing guide to a calm, content life in rhythm with nature.
When quick fixes fail, and instant gratification doesn’t feel fulfilling anymore, what do you do? It's time to return to a slower pace and the seasonal rhythm of life.
After 10 years of raising two children, building a business, and learning to live at a slower pace, I've discovered that slow living isn't a trend or a pretty aesthetic. It's a return to a more natural rhythm, where rest, family, and work can coexist without draining us.
Slow living helped me build a life I truly love. I didn't get rich, famous, or perfect, but I learned to appreciate what I already had instead of chasing a fantasy version of my life. I deeply believe you can do the same.
Slow Living for Modern Women offers practical, down-to-earth guidance to help you build a calmer, more intentional life without losing yourself to constant hurry and consumerism.
I hope this book will be a guide and a friend throughout your journey,

This book was peaceful to read, with practical and down-to-earth guidance for creating a meaningful life in our modern world. I have followed Adriana’s videos and writings for many years so it was cool to get to read this long-form account of her “slow-living” journey and learnings.
Reminders from the book:
- stay connected to the seasons and nature
- know what matters to you in life and say no to what doesn’t
- reduce stimulation/consumerism for deeper connection with others/yourself
- create and enjoy the life you love where you are right now

watched Adriana's YouTube videos and read her blog before picking up the book, so I came in with high hopes. To be honest though, I couldn't describe her as an expert on slow living.
The book feels very repetitive, and I didn't find any real spark or depth.
Everything comes across as carefully crafted and aesthetic, but it lacks an authentic, lived-in feeling. It's nice if you want something positive and gentle to read, and l am a positive person, but I'm also pragmatic.
Even when you love your hobbies and want to slow down, life is still fast.
It's a good, calming read if you're new to the idea of slow living but there was But , it was ok ……can say honestly I'm happy for her to have spent the time and been determined enough to write and publish the book. That's no small thing.

I love the ideas in this book, the honesty and how fresh it feels compared to so many other books of this genre. Adriana challenges you to dig deep and look at what really matters, not what social media tells you should matter. It’s the first original non fiction book I’ve read of this type for a while. One I’ll keep and reread for sure.

A must read for everyone who is into slow living, no matter where you are on that path.
this book reads as if you are talking to your friend about slow living, making small changes and making life more meaningful.
It’s personal, friendly and insightful.

This is a cozy, easy read about shifting lifestyle choices to be more in line with the seasons and a slow living mindset. I love this author’s YouTube channel and wanted to support her by reading her book! It is very personable and easy to read. She gives actionable steps, as well as ideas for reflection to consider before implementing changes.
The formatting reminds me more of blog posts than other nonfiction books, which isn’t to say it’s bad…just a different style than I’m used to reading in a full length book.
Most of this was not new information for me, which is fine, but I do think (like with most nonfiction) it could have been pared down a bit.
My favorite sections were on seasonal living and the wheel of the year and also the reminder to start small with your current circumstances.
I think this book would be impactful for anyone feeling constantly stressed/rushed by the busyness of their schedule.
