About the Author
Julie Bacher is a teacher and writer with an interest in Buddhism and spirituality. She has studied with such teachers as Tara Brach and Sarah Wiseman. Having never been good at popular things such as sports and dating, Bacher realized she excelled at something different altogether: the pep-talk. She could always make her friends feel better when they were feeling down. Growing up as a lesbian in rural Vermont in the 1970's was not easy because she didn't want to be gay. She wished very hard NOT to be, but that wish never came true. Struggling against reality is one of the most painful and confusing things a person can do. Julie Bacher uses this experience to help others feel better about who they are, and things that are happening that they have no control over. She lives with her partner in California.
