BYOB- Bring Your Own Book, Booze, Boys, whatever! Friends and authors Nola Nash and Laura Kemp talk books and booze as the conversation goes anywhere those two things take them. Sometimes those places are way out in left field, but they somehow manage to make it back to books and the folks that write them. Pour yourself a drink and get ready to laugh along.

In this episode 239, we visit with Holly Hughes, intuitive healer and author of “Real, Not Perfect: How to Become Your Happy, Authentic Self,” a guide for the lost, for healing past wounds, and breaking free from limiting beliefs. Holly is an intuitive healer with a lifetime of experiences overcoming loss, trauma, and regaining self-worth and power. Using personal healing stories, guided meditations, mindfulness, and her own intuitive gifts, “Real, Not Perfect” provides a step by step process to regain your voice. Clinical psychotherapist Danielle Duchatellier Boucree called the book “...informative, motivating and validating. It’s the absolute best combination of a warm, fuzzy blanket in front of a fireplace and that perky little cheerleader we all knew in high school. You will love how easy it makes being actionable with its workbook feature and how its meditations feel like they are customized for you. I plan on incorporating some of it in my private practice as a clinical psychotherapist. This is a must-have for everyone’s bookshelf.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network
