Description

On this episode of Restorative Reading & Writing for Wellness, I’m chatting with Dawn to help her build a book apothecary for the season ahead. Join me as I talk all things books with a listener and build a book apothecary that will serve, soothe and nudge.

Dawn is a retired educator who is looking for more grace, more kindness and more peace in this season of her life. She’s been a longtime member of my private Substack community and posed a special challenge for me: to select books for per book apothecary that she already owns as we #readourshelves together throughout the month of March. Challenge accepted! I’ve got just the stack of books for Dawn and bet there are a few that you’ll love, too!
