Books of their Lives – a podcast by shelf help.
by Toni Jones & Tanya Lynch
August 8, 2025 5:50 pm
A new podcast from Substackers and community builders Tanya Lynch (EASE Retreats) and Toni Jones (The Shelf Help Club) exploring the healing power of words. This weekly digital retreat features conversations with some of our favourite Substack writers and authors, sharing about the books that have shaped their lives, and also their relationships with themselves. Book nerds will love the long lists of recommendations – both fiction and non-fiction – as our guests also share what they’re reading now, as well as ideas on how to get intentional about reading and writing as a path to health, happiness and personal growth.
