Recommended by Dr Vicki Hamill

Reflections on self-knowledge from New York Times bestselling author Gretchen Rubin.

Writers/Showrunners Liz Craft and Sarah Fain break down how to be happier, healthier, and more successful in Hollywood, Dollywood, or anywhere in between.

Jessica Lahey

Writings on parenting, substance use prevention, education, recovery, and raising emerging adults.

Jess has continued to inspire me to write since I first discovered the #AmWriting podcast many moons ago. Plus, she is of course herself a brilliant writer whose books, I'm sure, will improve the lives of many, including mine and my children's.
