In this episode, we welcome author and publicist Traci Saulsberry to discuss her upcoming book, This Is How You Love Her. Saulsberry shares her long-held desire to write, her career in publicity including working at NBC, and how leaving corporate prompted questions of identity that led her back to writing. She describes a non-traditional publishing journey that began with a LinkedIn message to a publishing president and evolved into a book deal and a “meta” narrative that shows her finding herself while writing about self-love. The book releases in August, so pre-order today!
