Robust or struggling, tireless or fatigued, traditional or future-bound - anyone in any stage or walk of life can become a "radical señora." And in our post-hustle culture, post "Boss Babe" era, when the pandemic and "Quiet Quitting" have ushered in a major work-life reckoning, women everywhere are seeking ways to put self-care first - and find relatable alternatives to modern "exclusive" wellness practices. Now authors Christina Kelmon and Ann Murray Dunning turn decades of ancestral knowledge, personal lore, and cutting-edge research into a one-of-a-kind book that can help you learn time-tested, simple habits and rituals based on natural living. Rediscover how to do something purely for the pleasure of it - without deadlines, goals, or the constant pressure to be "productive." Find out how this generates a flow that is a mix of play and energy that consistently renews your spirit and outlook. Learn how to incorporate señora home practices that can help you integrate calm and positivity into your precious space. From teas to face masks to gardening wisdom, try the easy, nature-based beauty secrets and solutions that can help you feel good. Develop helpful rules for living that will lead to physical health and peace of mind
