We end this month's theme of Building the Dream with our guest Dyuanna Calhoun.  Dyuanna is a resiliency coach dedicated to helping African-American women build and use tools to navigate emotions tied with achieving and overcoming, advocating for self against self and others, and giving grace to self in moments we would typically find refuge externally. Inspired to become a certified life coach after a phenomenal experience with a life coach, Dyuanna’s joy is fueled when she helps you reveal a truth or supports behavior change that has caused turmoil or dissatisfaction in your life.  Listen in as she shares her advice on business building and the pursuit of her dreams.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed - Lori Gottlieb

A therapist, her therapist and our lives revealed. (non fiction)

Giving the reader a behind-the-scenes peek from both sides of the couch, it’s a witty, relatable, moving homage to therapy—and just being human. While therapists are required to see a counselor themselves as part of their training, Gottlieb enlists an experienced ear when an unexpected breakup lays her flat. Working through her issues with the enigmatic “Wendell” helps Gottlieb process her pain, but it also hones her professional skills; after all, a good therapist possesses the ability to empathize with their patients (four of whom she chronicles in funny, frustrating, heartbreaking and profoundly inspiring detail). Like Gottlieb, you will see yourselves in them--in all their self-sabotaging, misunderstood, unlucky, and evolutionary glory. So, for those of you thinking: self-help books are just not my jam…They aren’t mine either (trust me, my woo-woo detector is very sensitive). But Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is so much more expansive than that. Everybody, this is a book for you. --Erin Kodicek, Amazon Book Review
