E125: Inspiration for Morning Reading & Writing
I’ve stumbled upon a magical combination of reading and writing in the wee hours of the morning that makes me feel so good and sets my day up for success.
What is it?
It’s the combination of reading small doses of personal development books and then heading to my notebook to see what comes out on the page.
Come listen as I talk about the how and why behind this magical practice, share three kinds of books perfect for the task and talk about my favorite titles, too.

E121: Furry Reading Buddies & Books with Dr. Barb Vokatis
We’ve talked about a lot of things in the over 100 episodes we’ve shared together from why we read and titles we might love to how to read best and how to use reading to make life better.
But today, we are talking about something I’ve only recently been exploring: the power of reading with furry, four-legged friends.
Dr. Barb Vokatis, a reading therapy dog handler, is here to explore this idea with me and I’ll share three books with dogs as important main characters that I think you should add to your TBR stack, too.
