Join local author, storyteller, and doula, Brandi Sellerz-Jackson in conversation with Dene Logan, the host of the Cheaper Than Therapy Podcast at Octavia’s Bookshelf!

This magical pair will be discussing Brandi’s new book, On Thriving, where she shares powerful lessons on healing and thriving through the murky seasons of life. This book is a moving, intimate guide to deeper self-awareness and radical joy. Drawing from her experiences as a doula and intimate storytelling from her own life, Sellerz-Jackson guides us through the many phases of these great labors—labors that we can get stuck in, stunting our ability to thrive. Comparing our thriving to that of plant life, Sellerz-Jackson simplifies the complicated—and oftentimes overwhelming—journey as we attempt to grow in an inhospitable environment. With insightful and vulnerable storytelling, she invites a deep, soul-stirring investigation of our past and present to gather all that we need to thrive right where we are, right now.
