🎥 (Replay) Episode #7 Talking all about 'YOU' with Toni Jones! 📚✨💛🤩

Hi Everyone!Episode #7 of ChatStack ‘Live’ with Toni Jones is here! 🎉So… I got myself in a bit of spin about this one, thanks to all the promo building up to this week’s episode. When I started marketing it as a bit of a “pinch me” moment (having Toni as a guest), I started getting all anxious and nervous about it and putting WAY too much pressure on myself! 🤦🏽‍♀️🥴I even broke my own rules of the ChatStack model - minimal planning, a very loose structure and just a casual chat! Forgetting that Toni is someone I’ve had many chats with before and is a friend, who just happens to be publishing a book. Old anxiety and insecurity habits crept in and I went all silly and “star struck”. 🫣Anyway, Toni was fab and I soon relaxed into it… even though my brain forgot how to form sentences at times and many, many words seemed to have disappeared entirely! Does anyone else get like that?About My GuestToni Jones is a journalist turned bibliotherapist and the founder and editor of ‘The Shelf Help Clubhouse’ – The world’s first dedicated self-help book club - designed to support you in reading, reflecting and applying self-development.Over the past 10 years, Toni has read over 1000 self-help books, interviewed hundreds of authors and wellbeing experts. Including Gretchen Rubin, Hal Elrod | Author + Speaker, Dr David Hamilton and Ella Mills (Deliciously Ella). All of which has now led to her to writing her debut book, YOU – “The Beginner’s Guide”.‘YOU’ is a bite-size guide that distils the most valuable lessons from a decade spent immersed in the self-development space. Toni has developed a brilliant three-step framework – the Connected Self MethodTM - which features expert tools designed to help people get to know themselves better and support their journey towards Self-Discovery, Life Design, and Life Support.“Self-help isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about getting to know yourselfand then designing a life that fits” – ToniThe PublishersPublishing the book with The Pound Project felt like the right fit for Toni, as she values the ethos of the company. An independent publisher based in the UK, “putting writers and readers first”. Crowdfunding with one title at a time and making limited edition copies, only printing what they sell. As well as being environmentally friendly, the deliberate short-running campaign (3 weeks) enables them to work closely with individual writers and provide a dedicated service.Remember, Toni’s book is only available from NOW until 26th May!More From The Virtual TourHead to The YOU Virtual Book Tour HUB on Toni’s Substack Publication to view upcoming events, find out more about the book, the launch, and catch up on coverage of the tour so far.

The time went too quickly but we managed to cover a lot of juicy topics during our time together.Thank you Toni for being a fabulous guest and for supporting me through my wobbles and helping feel more at ease. 💛 Next WeekMy guest next week will be Sophie Greenwood.
