046 - Booked & Balanced: The Wellness in Reading

Obsidian Mindset returns with a fresh format and a new cohost! In this first episode of the new season, Joe, the Wellness Curator, is joined by Nimbus, the new voice of light and laughter, as they roll out The Obsidian Agenda —a fresh take on wellness conversations that are organized, intentional, and real.In honor of National Book Month, Joe and Nimbus open the season by discussing how reading shapes our mental and emotional health, the books that have shaped them, and why making time to read can be a radical act of self-care in a world that moves too fast. Expect stories, laughter, a few tangents, and a new segment called “Well-Read or Well-Rested” that tests how they balance curiosity and calm. Because sometimes the best way to reset your wellness is to turn the page.Welcome to the new season of Obsidian Mindset—where wellness gets personal, purposeful, and a little playful.Books Discussed:JoeQuiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan CainThe Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X (as told by Alex Haley)The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel WilkersonOctavia Butler BooksNimbusAll About Love (New Visions) - bell hooksDisarming the Narcissist: Surviving and Thriving with the Self-Absorbed- Wendy T.
