Elyse, Amanda, and I discuss building a reading habit - by which we mean the habit of regular reading. We discuss reading as self care and a ritual of restorative practice, and the practical and nonessential things that get in the way of reading time. We start by talking about listening to audiobooks in the Starbucks drive through and the challenges of heroines who need to be redeemed (instead of the hero, for example), and then move into discussing the various ways each of us approach reading time, and the ways in which each of us reads and consumes stories - and how our pets help us out. We also talk about some of the things that get in our way, such as the expectation that we should be working All The Time, and other work culture fallacies. Maybe this is you, too?
