    Jan 23 2025

    We’ve got a special episode for you today! With the release of my new book, The Fix, just days away, I wanted to share the first chapter with our Typology listeners.

    You'll hear the entire first chapter of The Fix: How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the Down-and-Out, and Everyone In Between, recorded by yours truly from a beautiful studio here in Nashville. Recording an audiobook is really one of the coolest parts of writing a book, so I’m very excited to be able to share a sneak peek of that with you all!

    We'll have another great episode coming your way next Thursday with my new friend, Jenna Riemersma where we cover Internal Family Systems, the Enneagram, and Recovery. Stay tuned for that episode and if you like what you hear of the audiobook, please consider heading over to Audible and picking up an audiobook copy of The Fix.
