For so many years us chicks have been sold two extreme options for so-called womanhood - either be a 100-hour week working, high heel wearing, cosmopolitan guzzling chic modern woman, or be a hemp-wearing, wheatgrass and mung bean loving, meditating earth mamma. Thank goodness then that we have real life health experts like Leandra Brady-Walker leading the way in truth telling, shining the light on the middle road and showing us that the perceived tension between being healthy and being a modern chick is completely unnecessary.Leandra’s BS-free sweetness within Cosmopolitan Hippy is a breath of fresh air in an over-crowded one size fits all “health” marketplace. Reading her easy to follow advice, handed out in a “let’s sit down and share a cuppa” vibe is equal parts relieving and inspiring. She makes healthy living both accessible and simple, and for that us modern chicks should all be grateful.
The Cosmo Hippy is hands down one of the savviest, laugh-out-loud, handbag-worthy books I have read about health in a long time. Leandra is entertaining and witty, which is handy given she has taken on the difficult task of convincing us high achieving, multi-tasking, busy gals to take a look at health from a fresh perspective. And she does this not with suggestions of radical change, but with clarity, telling it like it is and small steps we can take to make a shift in everything from what we, eat, to how we move and how we live. This is not about how to become a green juice junkie or meditate daily - it's how to adapt and slowly introduce new habits as we replace old ones - so that you can have your cosmo and drink green juice too. This book should come printed as your favourite handbag, because you will love it so much you will want to carry it everywhere and show it off to your girlfriends.
Leandra's entertaining and insightful book comes from both her expertise and experience. She understands how to be healthy and fabulous (without deprivation) and her book will help you do the same. Can't wait to try the recipes!
Dr Leandra Brady-Walker has gone where others fear to tread in her powerful book, Cosmopolitan Hippy. Part philosophical warrior, part wellbeing wisdom but one hundred percent inspired advice on what it takes for the modern woman to grab life and live it in the healthiest and most vital way possible.
