The One About Reading & Wellness

S3E3: Every booklover knows that reading and wellness go hand in hand. We often joke that the act of reading is our therapy, and in this episode, we dive into the myriad of ways that it really can be! We broach the subject by ruminating on the ways reading itself has supported us in times of need, and how important reading can be for your mental health. We then get into our history of reading wellness focused books specifically, and our thoughts around the ‘self-help’ moniker. We discuss the different categories of wellness reads that interest us, as well as the less-talked-about toxic side of the wellness reading space. We round out the episode talking about some of our favorite wellness reads that have made a lasting impact on us, and those we look forward to reading soon!
