A new podcast from Substackers and community builders Tanya Lynch (EASE Retreats) and Toni Jones (The Shelf Help Club) exploring the healing power of words.

This weekly digital retreat features conversations with some of our favourite Substack writers and authors, sharing about the books that have shaped their lives, and also their relationships with themselves.

Book nerds will love the long lists of recommendations - including fiction and non-fiction - as our guests also share what they're reading now, as well as ideas on how to get intentional about reading and writing as a path to health, happiness and personal growth.

In this episode: Host Toni interviews Host Tanya about her journey to bibliotherapy.

Books mentioned in this episode include:

* The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

* Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman by Joan Anderson

* Things I Don't Want to Know by Deborah Levy

* Lucy by the Sea by Elizabeth Strout

* A Spare Room by Helen Garner

* Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg

* Atomic Habits by James Clear

Coming soon: Our A-list line-up for Series 1 includes interviews with: Beth Kempton , Claire Venus (she/her) ✨ , Women Are Mad with Jen&Salima , Anne Boyd , Laura Pashby , Lucy Pearson , Tamu Thomas and Emma Gannon, with one episode landing every Friday morning.
