Hi Friends,
Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote on the cover of Stress Protection Factor. We came out with a clear leader, with 50 percent of all participants selecting it!
I cannot wait to reveal the official cover once the design team adds its magic finishing touches. In the meantime, here are some highlights from the book progress I have made in the last couple of weeks:
Finished the copyediting phase. The copyeditors reviewed and edited the manuscript line by line to ensure clarity, grammar, and spelling. I tend to like lengthy run-on sentences, so making sure each sentence is clear and not too long was part of it.
Submitted the book for proofreading.
Finalized illustrations and graphs.
Connected with the artists whose work I’m featuring in the book to receive their permission—and blessing—to include their art alongside my words.
This step feels especially rewarding because it brings creative forces together to tell stories I hope readers will experience not only through words, but also through images and sound.
Layout design: this is where we bring it all together, choose the fonts, page layouts, and other fun things for the interior pages.
Final cover design and reveal.
Planning the official book launch and book talks.
I’m incredibly grateful to the thought leaders, experts, and wonderful people who read the early chapters and helped me strengthen the book with your feedback, voices, and early praise.
Here’s what Master Coach and Founder of The Standing Mountain® and Connecting Coaches To Communities™, Jeni Davenport-Furniss, shared:
A timely and empowering guide that reframes well-being as our greatest source of resilience. Stress Protection Factor is both practical and inspiring, offering readers a clear path to creating lasting inner stability in an increasingly demanding world.
She shows us that lasting well-being isn’t something we earn after stress subsides; it’s a skill we can intentionally cultivate, creating a stronger foundation for how we live, lead, and thrive.

In connection with the book, my editor and I are currently planning several podcast appearances to share the story behind the book, the framework, and practical tools for building resilience and well-being in our chaotic, turbulent times.
If you have any recommendations for hosts who might be interested in a conversation on stress, growth and everyday resilience, please send them my way.
I appreciate you being part of this journey and your interest in well-being.
Be ︎well,
Olga
