Synopsis

Women, too often, are overwhelmed with long to-do lists while raising a family, working long hours, and helping everyone. Putting everyone and everything before themselves is a behavior they have learned from their mothers and the women around them. They also teach it to their daughters.

"Women, Rice, and Beans" is an inspirational self-help book by Brazilian American Author Ana Barreto. Ms. Barreto shows readers how to find wisdom in their lives by paying attention to the lessons waiting to be discovered to live a more balanced, happy, and loving life.

The Author shares her experiences of spending her childhood in Brazil before going to the United States and then traveling back to her home country to care for her ailing mother and releasing resentment in the process.
Bonding with her elderly mother made Ana reflect on her life and the lives of many women: Many choices women make deplete their energy. Some of their decisions were learned from the previous generations that expected women to behave in ways that don't honor the real women's spirit.

Ana Barreto learned nine wisdoms that she shares in her book. The book provides simple exercises for improving self-care, building a meditation practice, carving out personal time and space, practicing self-compassion and self-generosity, creating affirmations, releasing patterns of self-sabotage and depletion, and reaching for happiness.

The book Women Rice and Beans includes five guided meditations, directions to improve your home's energy with Feng Shui, and practical suggestions to improve your personal power. It will help all mother-daughter relationships, lift you up and give you the courage to reach for what you want in life while building an inner connection with your spirit.

When women are well, everyone around them is well.
