Come meet @drgertrudelyons and her beautiful new book Rewrite The Mother Code: From Sacrifice to Stardust-Cosmic Approach to Motherhood @bedfordplayhouse May 15, at 7pm.

This book will change the way you think about the very word mother.

It's transformative and thought stirring. A reimagining of what we all deserve in our collective feminine power at this time in humanity.

You will be as touched by her and her words and work as I have been over the years. X Barri

There's something profoundly vulnerable about speaking your own words aloud - hour after hour, chapter after chapter.

Recording the audiobook for ‘Rewrite the Mother Code’ has been like having a conversation with a familiar stranger - myself, from months ago, who crafted these sentences I'm now breathing life into.

What I didn't anticipate:

• The physical demands of voice work
• The need for true rest between sessions
• The mental focus required to stay present with the material
• The emotional experience of revisiting my words in a new medium

A paragraph that took days to perfect now passes through my lips in seconds. Words I labored over in solitude now have tone, inflection, and rhythm.

The experience is physical! Throat tightening with emotion at certain passages, voice dropping to a whisper for intimate revelations, unexpected pauses when something I wrote resonates differently in this moment.

Between takes, I've found myself reflecting on the tradition of storytelling. How words were meant to be spoken before they were ever written down. I wonder what we’d discover if we returned to this primal form of sharing wisdom more often?

"Rewrite the Mother Code" launches in May, but pre-orders are available now. I'd be honored if you'd secure your copy—print or audio—and join me in experiencing this journey!

It’s only right that I pull out my first book - a memoir about dating, 51/50 - for Valentine’s Day! From that first memoir, I built a career as a writer and author, ghost and co-writing over 20 titles, becoming an LA Times bestseller, building a robust byline from Rolling Stone to the New York Times, and creating a career as a book coach and publisher. If it’s time for you to finally tell your story, and start your career as an author, join us for Five Months to Memoir starting on March 6. Use the discount code WRITENOW for 10% off until February 22. DM us for more information or head to the link in bio. It’s time to write the good fight. We can’t wait to see you write yours!

Oh and awesome Bowie sweater thanks to @juliettelewis!

✨ First TEDx Talk! Magic in the Making…

Stepping onto that red dot.
Heart racing.
Message rising.

Ready to share how we can rewrite what it means to mother.

This moment was both scary and beautiful.

Years of research, hundreds of conversations, countless revelations—all distilled into 10 minutes of pure possibility.

Standing there, I felt the power of every woman who has dared to question, to reimagine, to rewrite her story.

Looking out at the sea of faces, each one reflecting back understanding, recognition, hope. I felt the power of our collective wisdom. The energy in that room, the silent nods, the knowing smiles... magic!

A moment I'll never forget.
