A few exciting announcements/upcoming opportunities :-)

1) I was recently in LA narrating the audiobook. What an amazing, surreal, and physically demanding experience! It will be released on July 7th :-)

2) There are a couple podcast episodes that I was featured on that are available now. One is with Shelby Leigh and Relationship as Medicine podcast (Part 1 & Part 2) and the other is with Erin Findley and Matt Lowry of The Autistic VOICE project podcast (episode 45). Both are available on Spotify and apple podcasts.

3) I'll be in the Bay area this summer for an in person-and live stream-book talk with CIIS Public Programs. Would love to have you join me and Monica Harlow for an engaging conversation and ND affirming evening :-) Tickets required.

After two years in the making (tho really a lifetime ;-), I'm ready to share with you that the book I have written is now available for pre-order. This has been a work of heart, soul, and intellect. It feels weird to share this with so much devastation happening all around us. I share this from a place of "joy as collective resistance" and with deep humility, gratitude, and a hope that this offers some goodness into the world. It is a brave, bold, gentle, and intimate guide. Introducing: "Neurodivergent Somatics in Therapy: an anti-oppressive guide to whole person care."

Here's a link to order direct from the publisher for 20% off and free shipping. Official release date is 3/10, but direct orders from the publisher could ship as early as the end of January! wwnorton.com/books/9781324082910?promo=WALSH20

Also! Save the date: Book launch celebration and signing happening on 3/5 in Boulder, CO. More details coming soon.

"So I tried to support another Black Owned Business for lunch today. It’s called Ava’s Kitchen and just opened end of April. It’s a very clean establishment, but whew let me tell you about this owner.
First off, I asked why there are balloons on my chair, and it’s not my birthday? She talks ’bout, mind yah business; those are Mommy’s.
I have been waiting for my order to get done for 45 minutes, and I’m the only customer here. She was making good progress at first, but then she stopped for 20 minutes to go watch Paw Patrol.
Overall the customer service could be better, but the cook is a cutie; so I’ll give her another chance. Let’s not give up on Black businesses so fast after one mistake."

On this Rosh Hashanah, no matter what your identities or religion, I hope you will take a moment to read this and keep taking action toward a ceasefire.

I’ve been in a state of deep reckoning about what it means to be Jewish. I will honor and acknowledge this holiday from an anti-Zionist lens, in profound support of Palestinian liberation, peace for all peoples, and make space for continued grief. May we not grow numb to the suffering in Gaza.

I have asked my Palestinian colleagues how they feel, and they have told me: ignored and left behind, writes Abby Maxman, who leads Oxfam America. The Biden administration has wasted time on performative workarounds rather than acknowledging Israel’s role in obstructing aid and doing something abo...
