For this episode, I review “Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person” by Shonda Rhimes. Shonda explains how she embraced the challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her. This memoir explores Shonda’s life before her Year of Yes—from her nerdy, book-loving childhood to her devotion to creating television characters who reflected the world she saw around her. The book chronicles her life after her Year of Yes had begun—when Shonda forced herself out of the house and onto the stage; when she learned to explore, empower, applaud, and love her truest self. Yes.

In this episode I review, the New York Times bestseller, ‘The Body Keeps the Score’ Brain, Mind, Body in the Healing of Trauma’ by Bessel van der Kolk Bessel van der Kolk is a Boston based psychiatrist whose work focuses on the interaction of attachment, neurobiology, and developmental aspects of trauma’s effects on people. The Body Keeps the Score is the inspiring story of how a group of therapists and scientists— together with their courageous and memorable patients—integrate recent advances in brain science, attachment research, and body awareness into treatments that can free trauma survivors from the tyranny of the past. They also offer experiences that directly counteract the helplessness and invisibility associated with trauma, enabling both adults and children to reclaim ownership of their bodies and their lives.
