On this episode of Restorative Reading & Writing for Wellness, I’m exploring the science behind why we should theme our reading lives around intentional one-word themes, curiosities or questions and how we can do it joyfully.

Come listen as I share the science behind the practice, offer concrete ideas on how to theme your reading life (and how not to!), how to create a TBR stack and book apothecary that embraces your theme and how to harness the power of the page to create a life you love. 

If you’d like all the details on my own one-word theme for January 2026 and an up-close look at my book apothecary, click here to visit my Substack and dive into the bookish details for the most recent month we’re in or glance below at the image!

Once you’ve listened, I’d love to know what you think of this episode. Leave your thoughts in the comments!
