About Lisa's Book Club

Hi! I’m Lisa Donovan and I’m the co-host of Billy & Lisa in the Morning on KISS 108 FM.  I started Lisa’s Book Club because I wasn’t reading as much as I wanted and as an excuse to bring our listeners together in a fun way... over books! I feature authors that have a connection to New England. Literary powerhouses including Elin Hilderbrand, Ben Mezrich, Mel Robbins, Lisa Genova and Caroline Kepnes have shared their stories with me as they open up about their writing process, guilty pleasures and so much more.  I’ve created this podcast as an extension of the book club. Lisa’s Book Club is free to join at www.kiss.com/lisa’s (https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kiss.com%2Flisa%25E2%2580%2599s&data=05%7C02%7CAnthonyAlfano%40iheartmedia.com%7C7225baa38bcf4e4b4de008dd33f26b66%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638723838505310603%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3PUSLV1W6ndmj1c1YkujI2RRZhE1BV6P0DAT1kR7MCQ%3D&reserved=0) book club.

[…] He loves the let them theory, and it aligns with 30 years of research, but there are important caveats when it comes to little kids. And so that guide is, because, you know, you're responsible for the needs of children. You're responsible to help them understand and regulate emotions, which I did not do as a parent, which is why all three children are in therapy. And I pay for it in order to absolve myself of guilt.
