#027 - You've probably heard again and again how important self-care is to our overall well-being.  But the truth is that self-care can take a lot of different forms--for instance, not everyone will feel satisfied from a bubble bath or a pedicure! 

For me, personally, reading a really good book is the ultimate form of self-care.  Reading has been a part of my evening "wind-down" routine for as long as I can remember. 

In this super-fun conversation with Catholic Author Amy Schisler, we talk all things books and the role that quality Catholic fiction can play in the life of a thriving Catholic. 

We also talk about: 

• How a Catholic worldview can permeate a piece of fiction--whether its overtly Catholic or not 
• The hope, beauty, and goodness of Catholicism and how it's a light in the darkness of this world 
• The importance of not shying away from bad things happening--while not being swept away by it  
• Amy's writing process and how she plans her books 
• The criteria for the perfect "bedtime" book 
• How reading can make you feel good and satisfied 
• What you bring from reading a quality book that can lead to making positive changes in your real-life 
• The difference between a "romance novel" and a "love story" 
• The importance of just appreciating life and all the goodness and beauty that it has to offer 
• And so much more! 

This conversation was so much fun!
