  • E181: Create a Personalized Summer Bookshelf
    Jun 3 2025

    On this episode of the Get Lit(erate). podcast, we’re diving into how to create a summer bookshelf designed to create the best you and the best summer season yet.

    Here’s the reality: we have around 90 days to make the most of our summer and if we approach those 90 days with intention, we could literally reinvent ourselves in a single season by surrounding ourselves with the perfect books to spark inspired action in our lives.

    Come listen as I share how to create a personalized bookshelf for yourself this summer. We’ll start with a simple inventory, curate a personalized apothecary of titles (with a few surprises!) and end with a little unexpected list-making, too.

    You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/06/03/create-a-personalized-summer-bookshelf/

  • E179: Scriptotherapy, Restorative Writing & Healing Chronic Pain
    May 20 2025

    On today’s episode of the Get Lit(erate). podcast, I’m talking all about the connection between writing and healing and getting quite personal about my own healing journey.

    We’ll talk about it all: scriptotherapy and restorative writing, the MindBody connection to writing and healing, specific writing techniques to set chronic pain free and the component to my personal writing that I’ve been missing all along: self-compassion practices.

    If you have chronic pain (or chronic anything!) and/or need to heal through something specific, then this episode is for you.

    You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/05/20/scriptotherapy-restorative-writing-healing-chronic-pain/
