10 Minute Easy Eye Yoga Exercises to Naturally Improve Eyesight by Krystal Kelly

This product was recommended by Krystal Kelly from Equestrian Adventuresses

I am suggesting this book because it is a quick read about improving eyesight with simple eye yoga exercises. About a month ago I was in an eye glasses store so that my husband (who has had glasses his entire life) could pick up his new prescription. He does eye yoga everyday. The woman at the counter who helped him check his prescription spoke about her poor daughter who had horrible vision and had an extremely high prescription glasses. When I mentioned to her the idea of her daughter and herself doing some basic eye yoga exercises to help, she didn’t even take my words seriously. She thought it was a joke! Eye yoga is real and can help improve eyesight and lower prescriptions (or even remove them altogether!) which is why I think this book would make a great choice to your selection. It is written by a woman for women on how to naturally help eye problems.

Change Course by Leslie Jackson

This product was recommended by Leslie Jackson from LadyRacing

As an author myself, I love reading as many books by female entrepreneurs as possible. This Women’s History Month I released my own book Change Course, One Lady’s Race from Acceptance to Adventure. This book is a memoir of my life- and how I faced my fair share of adversity. I was born with a rare skin condition, lost my brother in a car accident when I was a child and became a mother at age 17. Now, my goal is to encourage women to embrace their adversity and use it to make them stronger. There are so many women out there who have struggles and feel they are alone. The past does not hold us back, it sets us up for a future full of endless possibilities. It shows us how we can learn and lean into the strength we gained from our experiences to become whoever we wish. This book is meant to show women how to get up, dust themselves off, push past, and get through each and every challenge that you encounter.

Story. Style. Brand by Janel Dyan

This product was recommended by Lindsey Brodowski from Janeldyan

With her proven JD Methodology and three step process, Dyan has found that a female executive’s personal brand is the missing link between female driven consumer economy, and the rise of women in leadership by asking not “What do I wear” but rather “What story do you want to tell?” The JD Methodology was developed on the belief that by understanding and embracing human behavior, we, as a whole, have the opportunity to use our DNA to our advantage. First impressions are a direct (not to mention instant) response to our basic human nature. In a single moment, our emotional and visceral response overpowers any and all logic. Studies show that 95% of consumer decisions are made on emotion — and that includes their decision to trust your brand … and your leaders. The JD Methodology is about the ability to control the conversation with aligning brand and storytelling, which, in turn, establishes an emotional connection to all senses, whether the audience realizes it or not. Dyan emphasizes, “Every woman running a business or making strides in her professional career has the power to control the conversation and establish a brand that’s trustworthy, inspiring, and honest from the inside-out.”


Be Mighty by Jill Stoddard

This product was recommended by Jill Stoddard from JillStoddard

264 million people worldwide struggle with anxiety and women suffer at nearly double the rates of men. This may in part be due to ongoing bias in the social context in which we live (e.g., women are still paid less than men for doing the same jobs; we are still expected to carry the majority of the domestic load even when we work outside the home, etc.) Be Mighty teaches women to change their relationship to anxiety so we can live big, bold, beautiful lives amidst the chaos of life.
