FROM STRESSED
TO ZEN

Jill M. Sommers, with 30 years of experience as a university instructor and coach, has now added “author” to her list of achievements. Her dedication to mentoring and guiding students inspired her to write From Stressed to Zen, a book that’s now an integral part of her courses at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.

Instead of being a dry, boring “how-to” guide, From Stressed to Zen invites you on an engaging mindfulness journey. The book is rich with inspiring anecdotes, relatable student stories, age-old parables, and easy-to-follow practices. It’s crafted to guide you back to living from your center, where the power and clarity you gain elevates your success in school, work, relationships, athletics, and beyond.

Coach Jill is on a mission to create a mindfulness movement. Based on her years of experience teaching and coaching she is struck by how constant daily stress has become normalized as something to celebrate or as a perceived prerequisite for success.

“I’m passionate about helping people rethink the mindset that a stressed out life is a pre-requisite for success.”

By weaving mindfulness practices into your day-to-day living, crafting a life with less stress and more joy isn’t just possible-it’s a stepping stone toward achieving greater success in every area of your life.
