🎙️ Coming Up on The Above The Bar Podcast

📅 Wednesday, July 22
🕗 8 PM EST

This week's guest is **Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein**, an internationally recognized positive psychologist, author, filmmaker, and storyteller whose work focuses on identity, resilience, self-discovery, and the power of personal narrative.

Dr. Holstein is continuing her mission to uplift and empower through storytelling with the release of her two newest books, **Women's Freedom: The Dawn of Possibilities** and **Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories**.

Her latest works blend history, psychology, and deeply human storytelling to explore the emotional journeys of women navigating independence, identity, love, sexuality, and self-expression during one of the most transformative periods in modern history.

But this conversation is not just about books.

It’s about the stories we carry, the freedoms we fight for, and the way storytelling can help us better understand who we are and who we are becoming.

In **Women's Freedom: The Dawn of Possibilities**, readers are taken back to the 1960s through the lives of Madison and Ginger as they step into college life, romance, uncertainty, and life-changing decisions during a time of major cultural change.

In **Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories**, Dr. Holstein continues that exploration through the lives of three young women confronting desire, purpose, personal identity, and the complicated search for autonomy.

Her work reminds us that the questions women faced then are still deeply relevant today.

We’ll discuss:
• The quiet revolution young women helped lead in the 1960s
• Identity, independence, love, and self-discovery
• Why the fight for personal freedom still matters today
• The emotional truths found in coming-of-age stories
• How positive psychology shifts the focus from what is wrong to what is right
• Why storytelling can heal, inspire, and build resilience
• Her new books: **Women's Freedom: The Dawn of Possibilities** and **Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories**

💡 Tonight's big question:

**What can the stories of the past teach us about freedom, identity, and becoming who we are meant to be?**

Pull up a stool and join us live Wednesday, July 22nd at 8 PM EST.
