What Is the Stress Protection Factor Private Presale?

Welcome to the Stress Protection Factor (SPF) Private Presale – a first look, a shared journey, and an invitation to help bring this book into the world.

The Private Presale isn’t just a pre-order. It’s an invitation to become a Founding Reader, one of the first people to explore the ideas inside the book and help shape a new conversation about modern stress and well-being as a trained skill.

As a Founding Reader, you’ll receive early access, insider updates, and experiences created exclusively for this group.

This is a small circle of people who believe that physical, mental, and emotional well-being belongs at the center of how we live, work, and develop our potential.

Choose your experience below, and let’s make this first wave something special!

WHY I’M WRITING THIS BOOK

This book exists because stress is one of the greatest obstacles to well-being, and so many of us feel its harmful effects on our health and daily lives.

I became a mindfulness, health, and wellness coach and facilitator after years of living in near-constant stress that felt like survival mode — while believing it was “normal.” Looking successful on the outside, like I got it all “figured out” while burning out on the inside. Does that sound familiar?

What changed everything wasn’t more self-improvement or productivity hacks. It was learning how to build the skill of unconditional inner well-being — what I call SPF: Stress Protection Factor — your inner resilience system for modern stress.

The SPF Formula:

🧠 Self-awareness → 🛟 Inner Peace → 🔓 Real Freedom

Self-Awareness: Reclaiming your attention and learning to direct it intentionally—creating clarity and capacity for inner change.

Peace: Building the skill of well-being by training the nervous system for self-regulation, inner safety and stress resilience. Well-being becomes the baseline.

Freedom: Letting go of fear-based patterns and limiting beliefs. Leading yourself toward better health, relationships, and growth, guided by a clear understanding of your values, strengths and direction.

SPF is a self-leadership framework that trains the skill of inner well-being. It means retraining the nervous system for self-regulation, inner stability and safety.

As a result inner peace becomes the default state and well-being the new baseline. When you live from inner peace and stability rather than fear and fumes, purpose, freedom, and service can emerge naturally, even and especially in a stressful world.

The SPF Method:

  • Treats well-being as a skill we can learn, not a mood or reward to be earned
  • Uses mind-body-heart practices like meditation, sensory awareness, compassion training and somatic presence
  • Trains the nervous system for self-regulation, safety and sovereignty 
  • Becomes a simple daily habit, like applying SPF before going out in the sun
  • Well-being becomes the new baseline as the result of the shift from fear to peace
  • When stress and fear no longer run the show, freedom, inner guidance and purpose emerge naturally

🚫 WHAT THIS BOOK IS NOT!

Just another stress management book

It’s not about how to manage stress (although it does have that effect). It is about how to make wellbeing your baseline even when life gets stressful rather than playing whack-a-mole with stressors.

A mindfulness book

There are many excellent books on Western mindfulness and Eastern traditions like Buddhism and Taoism.

This book offers a new understanding of the foundational principles underlying the main traditions and now supported by modern science—translated into practical tools for everyday life, for everyday humans.

A self-help book

No fixing. No brain hacking. No endless self-improvement.

This book is about building the skill of wellbeing and compassion—for yourself and others—that creates inner safety and leads to emotional freedom.

A “lead others” leadership book

This book is about Self-leadership. I find it interesting that most books about leadership are about leading others. Most self-help books are about helping oneself, the individual.

This book reverses that. It’s about self-leadership: how to lead yourself toward better health, living from inner stability with less stress and revealing your true potential and gifts—so you become better able to help others.

 

THE SHIFT – WHAT THIS BOOK OFFERS

Banner Image

🔁 WHAT CHANGES IN REAL LIFE (From → To)

“I know all about mindfulness, but still hate mornings and Mondays”

TO: Mornings feel like an invitation to the day, not an exercise in survival or struggle to get through a stressful day

“Your nervous system thinks you’re in a bear attack… on Zoom”

TO: More emotional intelligence. Less stress hijacking your communication. 

“I feel anxious even when everything around me seems calm” – where is my calm corner?

TO: Inner safety becomes your new baseline, no longer dependent on external conditions for a sense of security.

“I feel stuck and resist change, even as my comfort zone starts to feel like a prison”

TO: Change feels less threatening when you build a steady internal home. It can even feel exciting—like riding a wave instead of drowning in it. Decision-making gets easier because you gain clarity on what’s right for you and act with more confidence.

“I keep striving, performing, or pleasing others just to feel worthy”

TO: A shift from seeking external approval toward self-trust, self-compassion, and unconditional self-worth.

“I think ‘having it under control’ will finally make me feel safe (it won’t)”

TO: The drive to control people, outcomes, or circumstances softens as safety becomes internal, no longer dependent on external conditions. Life smooths out. Synchronicities increase.

“I want to discover my true values and align my life from the inside out”

TO: The more self-aware you become, the easier it gets to access your inner intelligence. It unlocks your gifts and true values. You choose your direction with clarity.

“I’m curious what might change if my inner critic became a supportive inner coach”

TO: A supportive inner dialogue that holds compassion while supporting real change and growth.

“I’m done letting stress and fear run my life”

TO: Stress still happens, but it no longer runs your life or dictates how you feel. A stronger sense of agency empowers you to navigate storms with calm, like the captain of your own ship.

MEET THE AUTHOR

Olga Pinn is a Startup & Ecommerce leader turned mindfulness facilitator, health and wellness coach, founder of the wellness education platform Meditate Mate, and the author of Stress Protection Factor.

She studied and worked in China for over a decade in business consulting roles, bridging markets and mindsets between East and West. Later, she relocated to California and led international marketing and technology teams as head of e-commerce for global lifestyle and beauty brands.

Today her work focuses on helping people build the skill of unconditional well-being as true personal wealth. Drawing from evidence-based mindfulness, practical science, MIT-trained systems design thinking, and lived Eastern philosophy, she developed the Inner SPF (Stress Protection Factor) method: a grounded, systematic approach to lasting well-being in the face of modern stress.

A surfing pioneer who led the first crew of American pro surfers on a Surfline expedition to discover waves in her hometown of Vladivostok, Russia, she now rides the breaks of San Diego with far less fear of the waves than she once had.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you launching a presale for this book?

I’m launching this presale to bring together an early community of readers who believe that physical, mental, and emotional well-being belongs at the center of how we live, work, and develop our potential.

Your early support helps bring SPF to life — from final editing and design to printing and early reader experiences — while creating a meaningful shared journey toward release.

Can I purchase multiple times or gift copies?

Absolutely! You can purchase multiple Tiny Shifts Experience tiers or gift them to friends, family, or colleagues who might benefit. Each order will be processed separately.

What will appear on my credit card statement?

You will see ‘MANUSCRIPT’ reflected on your credit card statement.

What do I receive when I support your presale?

Each SPF Experience tier includes something special — from early digital access and signed first editions to live experiences, workshops, or a place in the acknowledgments of the book.

Every tier is designed to deepen your experience with SPF before and alongside the book, so you can start feeling the impact right away.

When will I get my book and perks?

Digital editions (ebook) will be delivered in August 2026.

Printed copies (paperbacks) will ship in September 2026.

Other experiences (like live sessions, early access, or bonus materials) will arrive separately before or alongside the book. I’ll keep you updated at every stage.

Will there be an audiobook?

Yes! If we reach the $15k goal, this will allow me to also produce an audiobook that will be released a few months after the print and digital editions.

Since it won’t be available right away, now is the best time to join an SPF Experience tier to get early access, your signed copy, downloadable workbook, and live experiences that bring the book to life.

What are the risks or possible delays?

My manuscript is complete, and a professional publishing team is already in place for editing, design, and printing. The only possible delays could come from:

  • Adjustments during production
  • Supply-chain or shipping timelines

If anything changes, I’ll communicate transparently and keep you informed throughout the process.

Are preorders refundable?

Book preorders are non-refundable but may be transferred to another person within the U.S. at no charge.

Is this available internationally?

Yes, it is.

Will I get updates after I order?

Yes! You’ll receive regular updates in my SPF+ wellness newsletter, behind-the-scenes insights, and early glimpses into the journey of SPF as it moves toward publication.

When is the deadline to support your presale?

The presale runs through February 28, 2026.
