Publicity Choices and Investment

In part one of this week’s author interview, CeCe Lyra connects with clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and bestselling author Dr. Tracy Dalgleish to talk about her new book ‘You, Your Husband and His Mother’—a candid look at one of the biggest sources of relationship tension: in-laws. It’s a conversation about courage, creativity, and the messy beauty of human connection—plus a peek behind the curtain of the book world. 

In part two of this week’s episode, CeCe chats with Dr. Jonathan Mathias Lassiter — psychologist, author, and polymath — about his debut book ‘How I Know White People Are Crazy (and Other Stories): Notes from a Frustrated Black Psychologist. They talk about why he fought to keep his bold, unforgettable title and much more! It’s raw, inspiring, and full of wisdom for any writer learning to stand firm in their voice — even when the world gets uncomfortable.
