Hey friend!

If I simply told you to read a book, what would you say?

If you're already a reader, you probably already know the major benefits it has on your mental health.

But if you're not, it’s either because you don’t have time to read or you just don’t enjoy it.

In today’s episode, I’m going to try and convince you otherwise.

We will talk about: 

  • the 4 reasons reading fiction calms my anxiety and reduces stress
  • ways to fit in reading as a busy mom
  • reading to replace doom scrolling
  • how we all just want to be seen and validated
  • and much more

Grab your crochet project and a cup of joe! Let's crochet through those emotions.

Here are the fiction books I mentioned in today's episode (these are affiliate links):

  1. Fourth Wing (The Empyrean Series) by Rebecca Yarros
  2. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
  3. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
  4. ACOTAR book set by Sarah J. Maas
