I adore tracking my reading life and geek out with my bookish spreadsheet where I track important metrics around the books I read. 

I browse these statistics each month and use them to inform my next month’s reading choices. Plus, I do a deep dive into these stats at the start of every year as I plan the kind of reading life I’d like to have in the coming seasons. 

But there’s SO much more to it.

Because here’s what I’ve discovered: the important themes I uncover in my reading life ALWAYS point to parallel themes in my actual life, too. 

In this episode, we’ll dive deep into this idea and you’ll come away with a pretty important insight: finding your reading gaps can help you find your life gaps and tending to your reading gaps can help you tend to your life gaps, too. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here:
