About Stephanie

Hello, Gorgeous!

My name is Stephanie Pedersen. I am the author of the newly-released American Cozy:Hygge-Inspired Ways to Create Comfort & Happiness, published by Sterling Publishing. In it, I share how I organize my life (my family life, personal life, family life, and professional life) using the time-honored tenets of Hygge, the Danish way of “right living” (which celebrates everyday comforts).

You may know me, however, from what I affectionately call my previous life. You see, once upon a time I was obsessed with food. Not just any food, however, but healthy food—be it vegan or paleo, raw or juiced, local or organic or sustainbly grown and responsibly sourced. I channeled this obsession into writing healthy cookbooks. Lots and lots of cookbooks. You may know some of them! They include Keto Lunches (Sterling Epicure), 7-Day Superfood Cleanse (Sterling), Berries (Sterling), Roots (Sterling), Coconut (Sterling) and Kale (Sterling), to name a few of the titles.

I studied nutrition formally so I could teach others to clean up their diets and use healthy food to lose weight, overcome food intolerances, heal gut issues, eliminate the inflammation that leads to a large number of health conditions, as well as increase energy and intuition and mental acuity with right eating. You may have even worked with me as a private client or in one of my well-known detox, fast weight loss, hormone-balancing, body love, or holiday eating programs.

Wow, those programs were fun! I loved working with you! The interaction between students, the aha’s, the conversation, the laughter, and of course the transformation—I am so grateful I had those experiences and I hope that you had as much fun as I did!

But time passes and we each grow. This is normal and beautiful! (Even if we grow away from something that once brought us so much joy—and a lovely livelihood!)

I still love healthy food. I still believe that taking care of yourself (in however way that looks for you) is the best way to ensure your career, relationships, spiritual life, family and all else prospers…. but I am not interested in being the one to help you lose weight lose weight, overcome food intolerances, heal gut issues, eliminate the inflammation that leads to a large number of health conditions, as well as increase energy and intuition and mental acuity with right eating.

I am no longer seeing private clients or running group health programs.

What I am doing is talking—with you and with anyone else who will listen. Talking with the written word, the recorded word, and the videoed word. I am talking about life. How to enjoy it. How to improve it so you can enjoy it more. How you can dive in and spend your time here on the planet in a way that makes you proud to be you.

American Cozy:Hygge-Inspired Ways to Create Comfort & Happiness, my latest book, is one of the things I am sharing with you to help make life more enjoyable.

Another fun hobby of mine is recording Law of Attraction audiobooks and audios of helpful affirmations. If you did work with me previously, you also know that a large part of my nutritional counseling hinged on the spoken word and right mindset. I am a metaphysician and a deep believer in the power of words, thoughts, habits and character to create success. Back then, I taught how to harness these to ensure healthy habits “stuck in place” so my clients could have the biggest health success possible. Today, I have started using these same metaphysical practices in my personal life to ensure I am as productive and benevolent and creative and open-minded and successful as possible. (I also teach these principles to my three sons, so they can take responsibility for their own actions and outcomes, thus freeing me up to write more!)

To check out these metaphysical audios, you can check out my YouTube channel, Inspiration is Here!

Thank you for being part of my tribe, a follower, a supporter, a friend. I hope you’ll stick around now that I have stepped onto a beautiful new path! I have some fun things coming up, including podcasts, a teleseminar, and a book club.

And I wish you so much luck and light and love with your own journey, regardless of what it is, and where you’d like it to take you.

We are so lucky to have these beautiful lives, aren’t we? Let’s enjoy ourselves!!!!

So much love,

Stephanie
