Episode 8: Book History and Podcast Future with guest Anne Bartolucci
<p>Today, I'm talking a little bit about the podcast itself--my vision for it and where I'd like it to go in the future. I also nerd out a bit about this book I'm reading, What We Talk About When We Talk About Books. I hope you enjoy the books I talk about, as well as my conversation with my guest, Anne Bartolucci.</p> <p><strong>About Guest Anne Bartolucci</strong></p> <p>Anne Bartolucci, Ph.D., D.B.S.M. is a licensed psychologist and a certified behavioral sleep medicine specialist. She started her professional career as the clinical director of a sleep disorders center and founded Atlanta Insomnia & Behavioral Health Services, P.C. in 2008 in order to focus specifically on behavioral treatment for sleep disorders.</p> <p>Dr. Bartolucci is a sought-after speaker and conference panelist and has taught workshops and classes for several professional organizations. She is the author of two nonfiction books, most recently Better Sleep for the Overachiever (2020; AIBHS). Finally, she has a not-so-secret other life as a U.S.A. Today bestselling fiction steampunk and urban fantasy author under the pen name Cecilia Dominic. Most recently, she has combined her two loves of writing and psychology with her new venture, Psych Up Academy: Online Classes and Coaching for Writers.</p> <p><strong>Guest Links:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://ceciliadominic.com/" target="_blank">https://ceciliadominic.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://psychupacademy.com/" target="_blank">https://psychupacademy.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://instagram.com/CeciliaDominicAuthor" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/CeciliaDominicAuthor</a></p> <p><a href="https://facebook.com/CeciliaDominicAuthor" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/CeciliaDominicAuthor</a></p> <p><a href="https://instagram.com/psychupacademy" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/psychupacademy</a></p> <p><strong>Don't forget!</strong></p> <p>If you would like to support the show, please like, subscribe/follow, and review!
