✨📚 Happy Book Birthday to Family Spirit!

From the very first page, I was pulled into this story of the Mace women.

The Mace women are a family bound by psychic gifts, generational power, and inherited pain. At its heart, this novel asks what it means to carry a legacy that others might deny, reject, or betray.

I loved how the voice of Nona, the novelist writing the story, reminds us that storytelling is never neutral.

Nona’s uncertainty in shaping the narrative mirrors the Mace women themselves. Ayana is hesitating to claim her gifts. Lil is returning to a family she once lost. GG is wrestling with forgiveness (aren’t we all 😮‍💨👌🏾)!

This is a story of truth, love, identity, and protecting what remains of our shared lineage.

What stayed with me most?

The way this story shows that healing doesn’t happen in spite of our histories, but through our histories.

We must honor the grief, the grace, and practice the rituals that will support the resilience we’ve inherited. Sometimes, we don’t choose the story yet it chooses us.

Weekend reading that hit all the right notes📚
Many thanks to for the arc copy✨

I spent the past few days with Jodi-Ann Burey’s Authentic: The Myth of Bringing Your Full Self to Work (out Sept 30) and couldn’t put it down.

As a therapist, I see every day how work can take a toll especially when people are overburdened, under-supported, and fighting for the accommodations they need just to survive in systems built for productivity over people.

Burey, drawing from her own life and the voices of others, calls out the hard truth: it’s not always safe—or even possible—to be your “authentic self” at work. Check out her amazing Ted Talk for more on this 🔥

She asks the questions so many of us wrestle with and offers the wisdom, clarity, and courage we need to protect our energy, set boundaries, and see self-preservation as the truest form of authenticity.

Highly recommend adding this one to your fall reading list. September has a lot of bangers!

Shedding a lot and processing a lot.

It always helps to write about it.

If you can relate, tap in with me at ‘Words of Wellness’ on substack 🫶🏽📚

Feeling so much gratitude to for the feature and interview about my book Bibliotherapy in the Bronx. 🌆📚

Sitting down with the NEPM Media Lab youth was such a joy for me. These young producers came prepared with thoughtful questions, sharp camera skills, and so much heart. I am so glad my 5 year old daughter got to witness these young creatives at work 🥹

We talked about how poetry can be “a bite-sized piece of life” and how it can open space for deep healing in therapy. Seeing these students engage with the work reminds me why I wrote this book in the first place - to spark conversation, connection, and creativity.

Thank you, NEPM, for amplifying stories that matter and for giving the next generation the tools to tell their own. 💛

My social emotional learning rubric for educators interested in incorporating Bibliotherapy into classroom instruction is available for FREE on my website. DM for the link and stay tuned for our interview to drop this fall 🍁 🍂

As a therapist, I hear it all the time: “work doesn’t feel safe.”

Minda Harts gets it. In Talk to Me Nice, she breaks down how trust and the lack of it- shapes everything in the workplace, from team dynamics to personal burnout.

If her first book The Memo was your guide to self-advocacy, Talk to Me Nice is your blueprint for rebuilding trust through what she calls the seven workplace trust languages.

Think: transparency, follow-through, acknowledgment, and more.

One stat that hit hard: 70% of employees don’t trust HR. Whew. No wonder so many of us are struggling to feel seen, heard, or supported. Sh*t goes down at work and HR doesn’t function in our favor most of the time.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to lead, communicate, and work differently. Minda continues to be that voice for equity, healing, and real change.

🗣️ Let’s stop talking AT each other and start talking to each other with care. This book is a great place to start that conversation!
