I have given this book out to so many people and now I get to share my interview Dr. Laura Silberstein-Tirch with all of you! ❤️ We talk about building a "quiver of compassion" and her book 'How To Be Nice To Yourself'. This interview couldn't have come at a better time for me. Listening to Laura talk about #kindness and #selfcompassion
really helped me as I was about 6 weeks in stay at home and I was really having a hard time focusing. Being reminded that there are practices that I can do right now and are under my control. Take a listen and I hope you pick up a copy of her book!

It's raining so my cozy read is a book full of writing wisdom from many of my favorite authors; "from Aristotle to Zinsser", as the book blurb says. You can't help but become a better writer when reading any of Roy Clark's previous 5 books but this one is the most enjoyable for me. His words on voice and purpose are some of my favorites.

Available on audio as well, this is my version of a cozy read.

I read in order to figure out how to do something

I read in order to figure out how to do something I've never done before (and am probably petrified of doing). In 2006, I wanted to take all my training in animal behavior and start a dog training business. But I didn't know any trainers locally well enough to ask them how to start. I had the skills to code the website myself (hand coded HTML, thank you very much) but as I knew from when clients, no one wants to buy your product: they want to know if YOU are the right person to help them.

So I had to learn how to sell my views and my perspective on something you could buy a book on. (Sorry, YouTube wasn't really a thing then). These two books - People Buy You be Jeb Blount and To Sell Is Human - were *the* books I needed too switch my mindset to focusing on the customer and not trying to convince someone to work with me based on information alone.
These skills are timeless and have helped me in almost everything I've done since.

For my #act, #socialworker, #bcba, #ot, and #therapist friends, I'm doing an online training to help you get over your icky feelings about self promotion. It's a pay-what-you-can fundraiser for Women In ACBS SIG. DM me if you're interested and I'll send you the link to register.

If you're just not getting anywhere in life, change the story and read something new. It will help you guide your intentional plot twist.

New podcast is up! I have the pleasure of speaking

New podcast is up! I have the pleasure of speaking with @mindful_mastery Dr. Laura Fielding about her book Mastering Adulthood. It came out on #audible this week and Lara reads it herself. 😍😍 Full of smart and down to earth techniques for helping you get a handle on your feelings and emotions, Lara shares her techniques for transforming stress into powerful self-awareness. 🤯

This episode was the first one I recorded and I'm thrilled you all will finally get to hear her wisdom! Extremely easy to understand and put to immediate use, Lara has worked with teens and young adults long enough to know how to reach them. If you have a young adult living at home who could use some guidance on handling wild emotions, hand this book over to them.

For those of us, ahem, a bit older, this is the perfect book to read if you want to learn how to soothe yourself. I'm going to push the audio version of this book and recommend you just put it on repeat. 🤗
