Hello friends,

The book is out. That happened. I’ve learned what it feels like to have a book go from being inside my head to being in other people’s (strangers even!) hands. It’s an unusual experience, and one I am super grateful to have had.

Though I’m no longer a newbie when it comes to the launch of a book, I am still a newbie when it comes to talking about my book in the public sphere. In particular, this evening at 6 PM PST I will appear on my first Instagram live session with Harvard Medical School professor Dr David Rosmarin, founder of the Center for Anxiety. (If that name is familiar, it’s because he gave me my first quote about the book).

You may have questions about how an Instagram live session works. Frankly, I do too! This is nothing I’ve done before so I will be learning too. I believe if you go to @centerforanxiety on Instagram in approximately three-and-a-half hours, you will be able to see and join in on our conversation. I also believe you’ll be able to see a recorded version of the event for 24 hours after it ends. Don’t hold me to this however.

I share all of this to say: No one is an expert at knowing how to do these things. We’re all stumbling around and learning as we go. If anyone appears to be some sort of social media guru, know that they started just as gawky as the rest of us.

If you feel like joining or or listening to the interviews linked below, please do! If not, choose to do something that refreshes and energizes you. Bring some red dot energy into your life.
