Across the world, overwhelmed women are recognizing that there must be an alternative to being all things at all times to everyone. Through self acceptance they are now realizing that it simply isn't sustainable, or necessary, to live their lives in Alpha Overdrive. Instead, they've heeded the advice of author, speaker, and self-health catalyst Lindy Lewis as she shares hard-won insights that encourage women to slow down and embark on their own journey into Grace. The Alpha Alchemy introduces seventeen new Ah-has for the exhausted, overwhelmed, and over diagnosed Alpha-holic. With a focus on Self-Health and Grace, the techniques shared in these pages provide a roadmap for nurturing oneself through Progress not Perfection, and by Bringing it YIN.
Lindy Lewis is an empowering speaker and author. As a Recovering Alpha Female, Lindy inspires grace in women through her books and speaking events.
For the first two decades of her adult life, Lindy was the type of woman who was always on the go. A career, a family, an image, and a dogged drive to be better all came to a screeching halt when she herniated a disc as a result of pushing herself too hard—as if being diagnosed with a serious autoimmune disease wasn’t enough. Through a series of “ah-ha” moments, Lindy realized that she had put herself in this position with her relentless desire to be and do everything. She started taking time to know, honor, and listen to herself.
After many hard lessons, she now embraces the idea of “progress, not perfection,” and she’s passionate about sharing this message with other women.
