Midsummer Rising: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr Joe Dispenza
WE’RE BACK..and bringing you a Broken Spine Social Club Month of Woo: Midsummer Rising. Over the month of July, we’re optimizing, actualizing, manifesting, and coming together with curiosity as we cover 4 weeks of spirituality / self-development in books. Today’s episode: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza. The world can be what we want it to be - and for Dr. Joe Dispenza, that’s as easy as thinking yourself healthy, successful, happy, or whatever if is you want to achieve. Okay…there’s a little more to it than that — like a lot of neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and consciousness expanding. We dive Dispenza deep in today’s episode to try to make sense of this renowned manifestation framework - before putting it to the test ourselves.

Girls with Long Shadows with Debut Author Tennessee Hill
Tennessee Hill’s debut novel “Girls with Long Shadows” is the story of the 19-year-old Binderup triplets - Baby A, Baby B, and Baby C - but so much more: a haunting and beautifully written narrative on fear, siblinghood, and our very human need to be seen. Today, Tennessee and I sit down to discuss just that, along with her writing process, the lasting legacy of the Southern Gothic, and how Tennesee’s own experience of triplethood has influenced her writing. “Girls with Long Shadows” debuts May 6.

On Broken Spine Social Club, host Zoe Yohn (reader, writer, friend) sits down with the people in her life to chat about their favorite books. No book is off limits, and from high modernism to high fantasy, Zoe covers it all, getting to the heart of what makes a story last beyond the final page.
Her guests bring her a new read each week, and together, they explore how the books we love shape us on an hour-long podcast that’s a little amateur literary analysis, and a lot of casual conversation between buds.
