25 WWW.CHARLESTONWOMENPODCAST.COM | WWW.READCW.COM | WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM/CHARLESTONWOMEN Angel’s Pick: I See You!: A Leader's Guide to Energizing Your Team Through Radical Empathy by Erin Diehl I met Erin earlier last year when I was lucky enough to take one of her workshops and we fell hard for each other. This book is all that and a bag of serious laughs—light but deep, real and practical, motivating without being preachy. Erin pairs 18 years of leadership experience with improv-honed humor to help stressed-out leaders embrace radical empathy. Plus, she calls Charleston home now, so you might snag a signed copy.

BOOK NOOK Bethany’s Pick: The Measure by Nikki Erlick "The Measure" is a thought-provoking novel where everyone receives a box with a string revealing the length of their life. You can look or remain unknown forever, changing how people live. You learn about different people from different backgrounds navigating this impossible choice. Both hopeful and heartbreaking, it inspires you to take a second look at the choices you make in your own life and what truly matters. Sarah’s Pick: Sleeping With the Ancestors: How I Followed the Footprints of Slavery by Joseph McGill Jr. and Herb Frazier Fascinated by Lowcountry history, freelance writer Sarah Rose chose "Sleeping With the Ancestors," which traces author Joseph McGill Jr.'s footsteps across the country as he stayed overnight in dwellings where enslaved people once lived. This account of McGill's often harrowing experiences focuses on obscure and ignored chapters of the past, bringing light to stories that deserve to be remembered and honored. Stacey’s Pick: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid Set in the 1980s, this historical fiction tells the story of one of the first female astronauts selected by NASA for the Space Shuttle program. You can't help but reflect on true events that shaped NASA and the women who broke barriers. It leaves you inspired, exhilarated and in awe of women in science who led the way into the stars.
