Erica Tucci Zesty Womanhood at 40 and Beyond Book Review by Jackie Paulson 3-5-2011

If you believe that turning 40 is a central point in your life then this book is a great resource of reading for you. There are new challenges to experience as women during this spiritually awakening phase of life. The past 40 years helped us to be who we are today. Many of us got married, had a child or two or three and have labels of wife, mother, sister, home maker, coach, launderer, grocery shopper, bill payer, chef, chauffeurs, house keeper, volunteer, pet sitter and much more as Erica explains.

So women wonder at age 40 why we are exhausted! We have learned to put down our own needs and wants for the safe of our family, friends, co workers and so on and so forth. There comes a point where a woman’s boundaries are just nonexistent and we have allowed others to enter into our personal space 24/7. No wonder we are exhausted!

Erica explains that when she published her first book she had set no boundaries for herself. She let her everyday roles keep going as well as adding on the pressure of writing her first book. She does accomplish this with a valuable lesson for all to learn from.

Setting boundaries with others is the key to becoming balanced. It is a balance of giving and receiving not just always being the giver. It is so important to set “me time,” and re-energize ourselves before we can be much help to others in the first place.

This book is a wonderful read which anyone can identify with. Erica writes from her heart and soul. She shares her real life experiences to help women understand why 40 is pivotal point in our lives. Erica asks thought provoking questions to the reader which helped me refocus my life on the “me” aspect and not just the “others” aspect.

If you do purchase the book please let me know what you think.
