If you long to develop a sustainable wellness practice that meets you where you are in your current state of life, Hustle, Flow, or Let It Go? provides a framework for determining what the hustle costs you, where you can nurture flexibility, and what you need to release in your life. It shows you how to loosen the grip of perfectionism and societal expectations to address your authentic needs, allowing you to pursue wellness and connection with awareness and self-compassion.

If the hustle is leaving you hopeless and exhausted, the wisdom found in this book offers a better way--helping you to create a customized blueprint for wellness that honors your reality and gives you life.

Endorsements

Dr. P is my go-to guru for wellness grounded in the real world."

Lara Love Hardin, New York Times bestselling author of The Many Lives of Mama Love

"This book is a lifeline for anyone juggling endless expectations. It's a powerful call to stop surviving for others and start thriving for yourself--authentically and without guilt. A must-read, it's not just a book but a movement toward healing, balance, and unapologetic joy that everyone should experience."

Ana Maria Gaona, former director of government relations and policy at the Department of Health Services in Los Angles and founder and owner of Two Peacocks Travel

"In a world that has put hustle and urgency on a pedestal, this book offers a unique blueprint that will help you exit the rat race, embody grace, and find your true pace. If you've been longing to find what embodied wellness uniquely looks like for you, diving into the pages of this book is the adventure you've been awaiting."

Xavier Dagba, integrative life coach, shadow integration specialist, and author of Scars of Gold (forthcoming)

"Dr. Preston uses the totality of her professional expertise and alchemizes her own life experiences to offer this gift to the world. This book is a balm for navigating troubled times in the present and future, both individually and as a collective."

Rahiel Tesfamariam, author of Imagine Freedom

"Hustle, Flow, or Let It Go? is the perfect book for busy professionals who are tired of making promises to create more balance in their lives only to once again find themselves disappointed and disconnected from the flow they know they need and deserve. In Dr. Portia Preston's new work, she guides readers through the ways in which our to-do lists make us lose sight of who we are, reminding us of our purpose, yes, but more importantly, of the safe and quiet space within us all where we get to be our freest, messiest, most daring selves."

Kristen McGuiness, bestselling author of 51/50 and Live Through This and publisher of Rise Books

"What a wise and unique approach to wellness! I devoured this book. Dr. Preston's kindness and personal experience shine through, wrapping her fresh and deeply useful ideas in a transmission of love. You will want to try her ideas and change what isn't working for you because you will feel so seen and cared for."

Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman's Comfort Book and Why Bother?

"Finding your way to flow is not always intuitive or easy, and moreover, knowing when to 'let it go' can be as fun as pushing a boulder uphill with rocks in your shoe. This book offers a roadmap and credible tools to not only level the playing field in your advantage but also help you get to that place where you are clear on the 'art of the possible.'"

Awah Teh, chief data architect

"At sixty-seven years old, I thought I was already wise to the 'hustle' and had learned the lesson of 'go with the flow or let it go' by now. After reading this book, I realize these matters are quite complex. Written in a conversational style, Dr. Preston writes as if she's your best friend, sharing her personal struggles all the while challenging you, through the exercises at the end of each chapter, toward self-examination. I wish this book had been available to me thirty years ago. It would have saved me much angst."

Susan Hoffman, former vice president of clinical services and operations for Southeast Indiana Health Organization
