Lisa Towles is an award-winning, Amazon bestselling crime novelist and a strategic self care consultant. She has nine crime thrillers in print with a new title, Salt Island, forthcoming in June of 2023.

This is the second time I speak with Lisa on the podcast. The previous time was in episode #204, which was about storytelling techniques and strategic self care. That episode was published in February 2022 and it has been since in the top 10 most popular episodes. So I brought Lisa back on the podcast to have a further conversation and expand on the topic of strategic self care.
