On this episode of Restorative Reading & Writing for Wellness, I’m diving deep into the recent craze of creating a personal curriculum for yourself in the new year and why you should create a book apothecary instead.

Come listen as I talk about the science and current popularity behind creating personal curriculums, the alternative wellness, creativity and expansion that a book apothecary provides instead and how to tell which one you need right now.
