Opening up with Dr. Lucinda Berry, best selling author and leading researcher in childhood trauma

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.
