Stephanie Pedersen is a lifestyle expert and author who loves all things American cozy and all things hygge. As the daughter of an American and a Dane, Stephanie grew up enjoying the blessings and teachings of both cultures. She shares more about this in her just-released book American Cozy: Hygge-Inspired Ways to Create Comfort & Happiness (Sterling Publishing).

She is raising her own three children—Leif, Anders and Axel—in her adopted hometown of New York City, a city of 8.5 million people, small homes, and constant busyness, which offers enormous opportunity to both practice and teach her sons the decluttering, homemaking, sane scheduling and mood-transforming lessons of her childhood. Some of her favorite of those lessons include space clearing, single-tasking, and how to easily and inexpensively create and nurture a community that will benefit the entire family.

A culinary-trained author, Stephanie has authored several cookbooks, including the upcoming Keto Kit for Keto Newbies, Keto Lunches, The 7-Day Superfood Cleanse, Kale: The Complete Guide to the World’s Most Powerful Superfood, Coconut: The Complete Guide to the World’s Most Versatile Superfood, Berries: The Complete Guide to Cooking with Power-Packed Berries, and Roots: The Complete Guide to the Underground Superfood, all published by Sterling Publishing.
