I am officially in love with this podcast. THIS is exactly what I’ve been leaning into lately. Teaching cancer patients to journal, teaching medical students, teaching women in menopause… I see the prescription of words and language as cognitive power. Helping people find the Joy in writing their stories.
Our first fan!!!! Thank you :) And YES - Tanya and I are both 100% here for finding the JOY in stories.... and life! What's a book that has been pivotal in your life?
I have now written this post three times and scratched it out. Too many to choose! Literary, romance, coming of age, mystery - they have all offered insight or entertainment. But, in 2008 my mother gifted me Dr Wayne Dyer’s book, Change your Thoughts, Change your Life and that was a pivotal moment in how I thought about my story. * corrected date
I have many many favourites. Here are 5: Sand Talk by Tyson Yunkaporta, Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, Flying Lead Change by Kelly Wendorf, The Women I Think About At Night by Mia Kankimäki, Love Stories by Trent Dalton (Mia Kankimäki's book will be the first book in my Book Club for 2025)
I love that Tanya recommended "Things I Don't Want to Know" by Deborah Levy. That one is never far from my desk! In a similar vein, but more practical than lyrical, I'm currently reading "Ten Things About Writing" by Joanne Harris
Oh this is beautiful podcast. So many lovely books suggestion. I have a little morning ritual which includes reading, journaling, meditating and exercise. Each of it for only about 10-15 minutes or even less but it is such a nice way to start a day.
Loved this first episode so much and looking forward to the rest. It will become part of my Saturday morning golden time 💛
Was that moi you were referring to Toni? 😂 I’m very pleased to report that since my guilt question in the shelf help clubhouse I actually read a whole novel in a weekend for my local library bookclub ⭐️
Tanya I love the concept of telling my inner critic to simmer down! Already used this morning.
Thank you both for a lovely start to the weekend 🤗
A beautiful first episode. I can't wait to listen to all the episodes. This podcast has gone to the top of my podcast list. I love the recommendations.
I have read Tiny Habits and have Atomic Habits on my tbr shelf. I've put the rest on a recommendation list in my reading journal.
I'm currently reading Self Care for Winter by Suzy Reading and Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans.
