This week, I launched StoryHeal and made it through my first week back at full-time work. 🥹

Both have asked me to trust myself in new ways.

StoryHeal grew from years of helping people connect the stories they read to the stories they’re living, and now it’s finally yours to explore. I’ve been using the app in my own reading practice and I’m so very proud of how it captures the emotional connection between ourselves and our books.

If you’ve been curious, the launch celebration is still going: enjoy 20% off through September 13.

Come learn how to move from story → self → life. 💛

Thank you Crown Publishing for the finished copy of American Nightmare by Kelly McWilliams releasing September 15.

American Nightmare is one of those books that refuses to let you look away from the painful history of this country.

Clark Wendell White is a Black man with blond hair and blue eyes who works undercover with the NAACP to investigate lynchings. His appearance allows him into spaces other Black people cannot safely enter, but it also leaves him constantly questioning what it means to prove his Blackness and use his privilege in service of his community.

Clark’s inner struggle was written so powerfully on the page : When the danger is right in front of him, is he really about the walk—or just talking the talk?

Kelly McWilliams brings one of America’s darkest histories front and center while reminding us that racial violence isn’t simply a nightmare of the past.

This is one you’ll want on your list. Trust me!

My latest Substack post takes you a little deeper inside StoryHeal - why I created it, what it means to read for self-discovery and how the stories we engage with can help us understand the stories we’re living out.

If you’ve been curious about StoryHeal, this is a beautiful place to begin. Read the post, then explore the experience for yourself through the link in my bio.

And a little reminder: the StoryHeal launch promotion—20% off sitewide—ends September 13. 💛

It’s here. 📖

For years, I’ve been teaching people that reading can be more than something we do for information, escape, or entertainment. Stories can also give us opportunities to notice ourselves.

The sentence you underline because it feels a little too familiar.

The character who frustrates you more than you can explain.

The story that gives you language for something you’ve been carrying.

The book you finish and somehow know you’re not quite the same person you were when you started.

I created StoryHeal for those moments.

StoryHeal is a literature-based self-discovery experience designed to help you move beyond What did I think about this book? and begin asking What did this book help me notice about myself?

Using the READ Framework from my work in bibliotherapy, StoryHeal guides you through reflection, identity, empathy, emotional awareness, systems, history, and the many ways our lived experiences shape how we encounter a story.

This isn’t therapy, and you don’t need to know anything about bibliotherapy to begin.

You just need a story and a willingness to get curious about what happens when it meets you.

I’ve poured so much of what I’ve learned as a bibliotherapist, therapist, author, educator, and lifelong reader into creating this.

And today, I finally get to share it with you.

StoryHeal is live. 🔗 up above.

Every story changes us.
Learn to notice how. 📚✨

I’ve spent years thinking about what happens between a reader and a story.

Not just what we read.

But what we underline.

What we notice.

What we question.

What we recognize.

What we carry with us when the book is over.

My work as a bibliotherapist has taught me that reading can become a powerful practice of self-discovery when we learn how to pay attention to those moments.

And I’ve been building something to help you do exactly that.

StoryHeal.

A new way to explore the connection between the stories you read and the story you’re living.

Every story changes us. Learn to notice how.

Tomorrow. 9.1.26. 📖

Sometimes a book helps us see something we already knew.

Sometimes it gives us language for something we couldn’t name.

And sometimes it asks something of us.

Maybe you recognize a pattern in the way a character loves and start thinking about your own relationships.

Maybe a fictional family helps you understand something you inherited.

Maybe someone whose life looks nothing like yours makes you question an assumption you’ve been carrying.

Maybe a story helps you imagine another way of being.

This is where reflection becomes connection.

Not just:

What did this story make me think about?

But:

What does what I noticed mean for the way I want to live?

The book is the beginning.

Story → Self → Life.

Two more days.

🐺📚 Readers Who Run with the Wolves: Our Reading List Through February 2027

One thing I never want our book club to be is another place where you feel like you have to rush to buy a book at the last minute. I want you to have time to place those library holds, request the audiobook, find the ebook, borrow a copy from a friend, visit your local indie bookstore, or read in whatever format works best for you.

So here’s what we’re reading at Readers Who Run with the Wolves now through February 2027. 🐺

Save this post. Take a screenshot. Start placing those holds. And come read with us when a book (or a conversation) calls to you.

You do not have to join us every month to belong here. Read one book with us or read them all.

We gather on both StoryGraph and Fable, and as always, we’re reading not just to finish books, but to notice what they stir up, what they help us name, and what they invite us to see differently.

Which one are you most excited to read with us? Links in 🔗 tree to join us! 📚🐺

Thank you so much Drea Day for this beautiful blog post 🫶🏽

As something special I have to announce gets ready to launch on September 1, I’ve been thinking about the people who believed in this work since the onset.

People like Dre from So She Writes, who took the time not only to read Bibliotherapy in the Bronx but to write such a thoughtful review about what the book meant to her. She wrote that reading it “awakened something” in her and reminded her that the sharing of literature can change lives. Those are the kinds of words a writer never forgets.

Every review, every recommendation, every person who has handed my book to a friend or shared it online has helped build this community.

The next chapter of that work is coming soon.

Thank you for reading so deeply. Thank you for believing that stories can help us better understand ourselves and one another. Thank you for making this journey possible and being in community with those of us who read for our mental health and well-being.

If you’ve read Bibliotherapy in the Bronx, I’d love to hear: What’s one idea from the book that has stayed with you?

My next offering launches September 1. We’re almost there. 🤍📚

Reading can become a conversation between the story on the page and the story you’re living.

A character’s choices can make us think about our own.

A fictional family can remind us of what we inherited.

A love story can make us question what we’ve been taught love should feel like.

A story about someone completely different from us can reveal the limits of what we thought we understood.

Reflection is the moment we turn toward ourselves and ask:

What am I learning about me?

We’re getting closer.
