Can you go three more feet? Are you over the moon with soft skills? Can you leave what was once good for a chance at something better? “Life Lessons From a Zonie Girl: How to Stay Sunny, Grounded and Resilient” is a wisdom-packed trail guide of sorts for those looking for a foothold to boost themselves to new levels of success.

With optimism, grace, skilled storytelling and savvy shaped by Arizona’s glorious and sometimes harsh environment, Emmy-award winning career journalist, international best-selling author and international speaker Bonnie Stevens takes the reader through a number of scenarios, surroundings and true-life examples of how resilient individuals push through challenging times to persevere with a positive outlook, solid sense of self and renewed determination.

“Of all the professional titles Bonnie has worn in her life, her true gift of being a ‘natural storyteller’ fits her the best. That's why I know this book works. It works because it is the perfect read for a young woman just graduating from high school or college. Yet, it's the perfect read for someone who has retired and feeling both jubilation and fear. There is a wonderful quote about Bonnie, ‘She is as comfortable on a ski slope as she is in a boardroom.’ That is so true. Here is a woman who not only has won an Emmy award and has had her work appear on CNN, PBS and The Weather Channel, but Bonnie has trekked across Panama and snorkels, skis and surfs at the drop of a hat. I have never been an outdoors person, but, after capturing the excitement of “Life Lessons From a Zonie Girl,” I went out and purchased my first expensive pair of hiking boots!”

— Mary Jo West,  pioneering Arizona television news anchorwoman and writer of the book’s foreword

f you are struggling with charting your path across rugged new territory, spinning in a gravely riverbed of indecision, chasing a mirage, feeling pelted by a sandstorm of adversity or afraid to make a move on a mountain of jumping cholla, Stevens invites you to grab your hiking boots, sunscreen, water bottle and snake guards and get ready for an adventure through the wildlands of your professional and personal life. Like a basecamp along your journey, “Life Lessons From a Zonie Girl” is designed to feed your spirit, reinforce your resolve, make you laugh and help illuminate your next steps.

 

Stevens says she wrote the book so readers could hopscotch over years of tough life lessons, make good decisions sooner and recognize the path that’s right for their own personal trajectory and best life. “As a journalist, I have had the incredible good fortune of spending time with four U.S. presidential candidates, four moon-walking astronauts, top business leaders, world-class scientists, record-setting adventurers, individuals who have succeeded despite extreme adversity and stellar role models like Mary Jo West. From studying these individuals of excellence, I’ve compiled this soft leadership book to help others set their course for excellence.”

 

In her conversational, down-to-earth and best-friend-esque writing style, Stevens asks readers to think of her as their trusted friend “who has all the right gear, best snacks and seasoned expertise to help navigate their environment where the terrain can be heated, thorny and crawling with slithery creatures, but also grandly rewarding.”

 

Thus, Life Lessons From a Zonie Girl promises to outfit readers with tips and strategies to keep them cool, unscathed and powerful through life’s tricky landscapes. The book is available now on Amazon.
