I'm honored to welcome PPA alum and author Dr. Marina Rosenthal to the podcast today to chat all about how to get a book deal with the 'big five.'

Marina's presence on Instagram has played a HUGE role in her becoming a published author. But she always had a bigger vision: writing a book to help the underserved couples she's passionate about.

If you've ever dreamed of writing a book or expanding your impact beyond the therapy room, Marina's story is proof that it IS possible. I know this episode will inspire you to take action and pursue big and exciting opportunities, too!!

In this episode, we cover: 

• How Instagram helped Marina grow her practice AND land a book deal
• Why Marina chose to focus on high-conflict couples and write a book for them
• The behind-the-scenes of Marina’s book deal and what the process looked like
• How book payments typically work
• A surprising + FUN part of Marina’s publishing journey
• How Marina’s juggling of motherhood, a thriving practice, Instagram, and writing
• What’s next now that her book deal is official
• The learning curve that came with navigating the book world
• Why carving your own path always beats following someone else’s roadmap
