This week, we sit down with the incredible Dr. Lucinda Berry: psychologist, trauma researcher, bestselling author, and the brilliant mind behind some of the most binge-worthy thrillers out there. We chat about everything from her early days in psychology to her time on Dr. Phil, her transition into writing full-time, and how motherhood shaped her creative world. We dive deep into her brand-new audiobook This Is a Safe Space, unpacking the characters, themes, and even the story behind the narrators (including one you might recognize from Tell Me Lies 👀).

Dr. Berry also shares heartfelt advice on following your passion, pushing through moments of stagnation, and putting yourself out there, wisdom for anyone chasing a dream, especially fellow podcasters and creatives.

Plus, we wrap things up with a fun round of Bookish Smash or Pass author edition! 

It’s inspiring, honest, and full of the raw, thoughtful conversations we love on The Open Books Podcast.

You can watch the full video now on YouTube at The Open Books Podcast!
