Martha's Book Club + Workshop

Brandy is a mother, wife, author, and the creator of the darkly comedicAdult Conversationnovel, podcast, social media pages, and blog. Her writing has been featured inGood Morning America,HuffPost,Romper,CafeMom,TODAY Parents, and more. In addition to writing and fulfilling her kids’ endless snack requests, she's spent the past decade working as a doula, childbirth educator, and birth trauma mentor, ushering clients through the intense transition into motherhood. The insight gained from watching moms crack wide open — literally and figuratively — and her own experience as an independent woman who suddenly traded autonomy for snuggles, led her to say out loud the things that modern mothers are thinking. Sometimes it’s serious, sometimes it’s comedic, but it’s always honest. She currently lives in Southern California, and her love language is sleep.

This 5-week online book club + workshop unpacks Adult Conversation's themes and explores how the main character's journey relates to yours.

Join me, Brandy (the author of Adult Conversation: A Novel), and podcast favorite, Kathie (and the inspiration for the &quot;Martha&quot; character), as we see what happens when we mix a book club and a workshop! In this five-week, online series, we will unpack themes from the book: the taboo parts of motherhood and marriage, feeling erased, “Dad privilege,” trying to save yourself, the elusive search for balance, and more. Equal parts humor and heart, we will explore how the main character’s journey relates to yours while offering validation, community, laughs, and perhaps some action steps for change. Kathie will bring her expertise at leading meaningful discussion, along with her hard-earned wisdom as a mother of seven. I will bring my honesty, ridiculousness, and love of conversation and connection. And don’t worry, we will both bring our love of a well-timed swear word.We may not be able to flee to Vegas for a much-needed moms’ weekend right now, but this is the next best thing! Dates are five Saturdays: 9/26, 10/3, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24 from 2-3:30pm Pacific time.Cost is $25, which includes a signed and personalized bookplate (sticker that goes in the front of your book) by the author.*If the monetary cost is a barrier to entry for you, please email me at brandyferner@gmail.com to discuss scholarships and options.
