Welcome to Sarah's Bookshelves Live. I'm Sarah of the blog Sarah's Bookshelves. Each week I'm

0:15.5

talking with one bookish guest about two old books they love, two new books they love, one book they don't love, and one new

0:22.7

release they're excited about. We're going to get real and sometimes a bit snarky about all things

0:28.3

books. If you like the show, I'd really love your support. Spread the word to your reader friends,

subscribe to the show, rate and review it wherever you listen to podcasts, or get bonus podcast episodes by

supporting the podcast on Patreon. There's a link in the show notes and in my Instagram bio to my

0:47.5

Patreon page. Let's get rolling. Hey everyone, I have a quick announcement before we get to today's guest. I wanted to let you know that there is a fairly brief survey for podcast listeners up on my blog right now. I would love it if you could take a few minutes to complete it. And this will help me understand who my listeners are, what you like, what you don't like, or what you want changed about the

1:12.2

podcast. And this is also an opportunity for you to provide feedback to me completely anonymously.

1:18.2

And what I will learn through these survey results will drive how I make decisions about the

1:23.5

podcast moving forward. There is a link in the show notes and in my Instagram bio. So thank

1:28.6

y'all so much for taking a couple minutes to do that for me. All right, let's get to today's guest.

I have been a longtime listener since the very beginning of the podcast called 10 Things to

1:39.3

Tell You, hosted by Laura Trameen. And on that podcast, she helps women be open and vulnerable to achieve

1:46.7

true depth in their relationships. And she has now written a book that is inspired by her podcast called

1:52.9

Share Your Stuff, I'll Go First. Her podcast episodes always cause me to reflect in some way

1:58.2

and often have me saying, yes, that is exactly what I have been

2:02.2

feeling to. And her book did more of that in an even deeper and more concrete way. I read it and

2:08.6

worked through the exercises soon after the new year, and it was such a great way to force me to

2:14.2

self-reflect, which I am admittedly really bad at taking the time to do.

2:19.3

Laura grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, and she moved to Los Angeles, sight unseen at the

2:24.1

age of 22. She worked in film and television production for many years at MTV, VH1, Fox,

and Paramount Pictures before pursuing writing full-time. Laura has been sharing her life online
