The story opens against the backdrop of 1983 Bucharest. The food lines are interminable, the secret police are omnipresent, and college student Domnica Radulescu is reluctantly preparing for a daring journey that will take her first to Rome, and eventually, the United States.

Domnica traces the defining moments in her life, beginning with her traumatic escape to Italy in 1983; back to several pivotal events in the her early childhood and adolescence in her native Romania; her arrival and first years as a fresh political refugee trying to adjust and survive in Chicago; and the saga of her resettlement in a small Southern town as a single working mother. 

With uncompromising irony, self-deprecating humor and unapologetic feminist rebelliousness that calls to mind Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, Dream in a Suitcase is a powerful memoir that immerses readers in the mind of a woman who makes the bold but heartbreaking decision to leave behind her family and country to pursue the illusory American Dream.

Many families have also lost jobs and had vital supports, such as school, health care services, and other community programs, interrupted and put on hold, putting a mental strain on children, whether or not they realize it.

According to research, 71% of parents said the pandemic had taken a toll on their child's mental health and 69% said the pandemic was the worst thing to happen to their child.

A national survey of 3,300 high schoolers conducted in spring 2020 found close to a third of students felt unhappy and depressed much more than usual.

Even after the pandemic subsides, its mental health effects on children will be around for much longer.

Yet Jewels assures us that even when we lose those things that give shape to our soul, such as belonging, the need for touch, and safety in our own home, we can go on to devise a new way of being that surpasses our childhood haunts.

Jewels was seven years old when her father attempted a family suicide, so her mother whisked her away to the arms and family of another man.

Ruled by her mother's delusional survival aspirations and the ignored evidence of her suffering at the hands of her new relatives, survival became a daily struggle for Jewels.

But when the truth could no longer be hidden, the family split, leaving Jewels to navigate a new world, not of her making.

Deciding to use her earlier trauma to enter recovery, sexually liberate herself, and enter the competitive world of professional bodybuilding, Jewels created a life that inspires others to push forward no matter the details.

In this uncommon ode to survival, Jewels creates a quite unexpected career from her truth-underscored by her complicated relationship with the allure of sexuality.

Through a tangle of forgiveness and understanding emerges an elevated journey of the mechanisms for survival, of pain and joy, and of discovering that family is what you make of it.

But along with that comes trauma. And so much of it. Watching someone you love turn into someone you don't know, and who doesn't know you is heartbreaking. 

Lisa Zawrotny's story —and the reason she does what she does now — started when she was a caregiver for her mom who had Alzheimer’s.

She moved her mom into her home when she was pregnant with her son and then had also had her daughter all while still caring for her mother.

What Lisa went through to keep her mom children safe (including her children safe from her) was something she didn’t label as trauma for years, but realizes now that's exactly what it was.

It impacted her physical and mental health and changed how she viewed the world. Those life lessons make Lisa the coach she is today.

Sara Church, author of the new book Mending My Mind and an advocate for mental health, says that this damage can easily be transmitted from one person to the next. And it can lead those affected to hurt others, causing more pain and more trauma.

Then, in a vicious cycle, just like Covid, it spreads…

Sara has experienced this. While suffering unknowingly from C-PTSD, a condition caused by a series of events that occurred repeatedly over an extended period of time, Sara found herself sabotaging relationships that hurt those she loved—including her wife. She writes about this in her book.

Today Sara’s mission is to help stop the spread. Doing so could help heal many of the problems in our world.

The first step, she says, is to talk about it. Share your story about what happened, whether it was abuse, oppression or—as was Sara’s case—poverty and parental addiction and abandonment.

We all have the ability to manifest a day based on joy and understanding by beginning with a transcendent moment.

Author and counselor Susan Lax offers such moments to get your day started in her gorgeous collection of stories, poems and insights, A HEART’S LANDSCAPE: An Invitation to the Garden of Moments

The seeds for Morning Inspiration were planted when Susan Lax learned that one of her closest friends was diagnosed with cancer and she was determined to find a way to bring light back to their bond.

Respecting her friend’s desire to keep her illness confidential, Susan began sending her friend an email each morning at 6 a.m. designed to bring a moment of joy to her day.

This daily tradition continued for five months until one morning Susan awoke with the flu and did not send her morning email.

By 7:30 a.m., she received a phone call from her friend, “Where is my morning blessing? Why didn’t you send it today?”

This would be the only moment in which the two friends discussed the emails aloud.

For the rest of the year, Susan sent a short morning blessing and eventually, her friend regained her health. Although the emails were only spoken about once, Susan understood the support they provided.

Right now, especially with ongoing COVID, Susan and her book offer deep reminders with words and warm visuals - to take a moment – and just pause - get away from the inundation and put the chaos away.

An experienced psychotherapist and grief expert, Edy is author of  It’s Grief: The Dance of Self-Discovery Through Trauma and Loss. The book unravels the complex world of grief and helps to transform the dark mystery into one of life’s most important teachers.

While other therapists emphasize universal quick fixes to “get over it,” Edy says it doesn’t work that way. Like a fingerprint, everyone’s experience of trauma, abuse, or the loss of a loved one is unique, and in truth, you never really get over the resulting grief but learn to integrate it into your life.

She speaks candidly from her own personal experiences as one who has danced with grief in many forms from a young age. Her ideas are not theoretical!

Grief, trauma and loss can strike in a moment, today, or from a long past memory retrieved—and disrupt the norms in every part of your life.

Edy Nathan’s practical insights can help you get your life back—even though the world you live in has forever changed.

Marci is now coming forward with her story and emerging as a fierce proponent for eliminating the harmful social stigmas attached to mental illness which keep many individuals battling depression and anxiety from seeking help.

On August 13, 2014, Marci found Paul, her beloved husband of thirty-four years, dead by suicide. No warning. No explanation. No final good-bye.

Less than five years later, on March 15, 2019, Michael, Marci's second husband of only eight months, was found dead by suicide as well.

In the grip of unrelenting pain, Marci courageously meets grief head-on and, with dogged determination and sets out to expose the ill-conceived and biased attitudes toward mental illnesses and suicide.

And No One Saw It Coming is full of grit and candid insights and opens the door into a personal story of lost love, betrayal, abandonment, shattered dreams, unanswered questions, judgements, and harmful social stigma.

Marci is now coming forward with her story and emerging as a fierce proponent for eliminating the harmful social stigmas attached to mental illness which keep many individuals battling depression and anxiety from seeking help.

On August 13, 2014, Marci found Paul, her beloved husband of thirty-four years, dead by suicide. No warning. No explanation. No final good-bye.

Less than five years later, on March 15, 2019, Michael, Marci's second husband of only eight months, was found dead by suicide as well.

In the grip of unrelenting pain, Marci courageously meets grief head-on and, with dogged determination and sets out to expose the ill-conceived and biased attitudes toward mental illnesses and suicide.

And No One Saw It Coming is full of grit and candid insights and opens the door into a personal story of lost love, betrayal, abandonment, shattered dreams, unanswered questions, judgements, and harmful social stigma.

Faced with grief after losing his daughter to a car accident and then he himself survived a separate car incident – he was diagnosed with trauma – and no stranger over his lifetime to anxiety, bouts of depression or even drinking.

He has much to say about the power of music and healing. He didn’t see his diagnosis as trauma but a way to work on himself to move forward.

When we hear music, we often experience how the physical flirts with the spiritual in profound and moving ways.

But what we don’t realize is that this confluence is possible not just in music, but in life, and it’s easier than you think.

Kenny shows us how musicians, artists or even businesspeople can allow their “master creator” within to lift their performance to its highest level, showing us how to be spontaneous, fearless, joyful and disciplined in our work and in our life.

Whatever you are trying to master, Kenny says the key is learning how to slip into The Space, the place beyond the conscious mind that allows us to effortlessly embody whatever we are doing.

As Kenny points out: “Mastery is not perfection, or even virtuosity. It is giving oneself love, forgiving one’s mistakes, and not allowing earthly evidence to diminish one’s view of oneself as a drop in the Ocean of Perfection. And here is the good news: You don’t have to be a musician to have the experience!”

You deserve to be happy and proud of the family you’ve built.

You get to watch them grow into their best self, but these positive moments come with multiple obstacles … conflicting opinions and differing emotional needs.

How can you manage everyone’s demands, keep your sanity, and enjoy yourself?

Well, it’s not throwing in the towel and walking away!

And it’s not about strong-arming them to do things your way.

It’s time to gain clarity about your role, define boundaries, and improve communication so that everyone feels heard and understood.

This is a story of one man's fight for survival in a world of trauma. 

David Smith was going to work one day with his brother in Opa-Locka, Florida when they were cut off by an angry driver. 

As they got out of their vehicles to figure out what the problem was, the driver of the other vehicle shot Dave's brother in the head. 

What was just another day going to work, turned out to be one of Dave's worst nightmares. 

"I held my brother in my arms while he fought for his last breath and I felt his last heartbeat."

A year prior, his dad died while Dave was holding his hand. 

As if that wasn't enough, Dave was in a horrible Harley-Davidson accent that broke his jaw in three places and twisted his right leg completely backwards causing him to have to relearn how to walk.

Since his brother's death, Dave has experienced many phases of grieving, survivors' guilt, and feeling as though he was just plain losing his mind.

Dave has survived multiple suicide attempts and now wants to share his story to let others know that despite how horrible life can be, there is always something to be grateful for. 

Dave has learned that it doesn't matter what you've gone through or how much you've gone through, what matters is whether you bounce back or not.

Maybe it was, "I don’t want to bother people."

Or, "Everybody is busy, too."

Or, "I should be able to handle this myself."

Or, "I don’t want to make someone feel guilty if they have to say no."

You can see how those beliefs might stop you in your tracks, right?

You might even think to yourself, "Why would someone want to help me, especially if it doesn’t benefit them?"

Knowing how to extend a helping hand or ask for assistance when needed is one of the best ways to build trusting, collaborative and mutually beneficial relationships with colleagues, clients, family and friends. And yet, for far too many folks, “help fluency” remains elusive.

Deborah Grayson Riegel teaches concrete strategies to help others get better at offering, asking for and accepting help — and explores the ways in which “help fluency” builds better relationships both professionally and personally.

We discuss how to change our mindsets and behaviors from avoiding asking for help to leaning into it and asking without fear or guilt.

How do you empower yourself to heal from the shame, guilt of keeping your children in a violent situation and alienation from loved ones?

Releasing intimate details of life as an unwilling participant in situations and events, was very lifechanging for Melinda Kunst from being abused, raped, BD/SM, a swinger, hooked on pornography, and at times suicidal.

The battle she was fought was spiritual, legal, emotional, and mental. Feeling at times worn out, bullied and grasping for self-preservation, knowing you can thrive and have renewal from brokenness may seem unbelievable.

Melinda shares how she was able to leave and create a new life for her and her children.

They had a great life; cars, money, and business. But what people did not know is behind closed doors, Maria was getting abused mentally and emotionally, along with the drug abuse.

Maria struggled so much with self-worth and what love was. She stayed because he always told her while they fought, ” No one will ever love you like I do!”

Not knowing better, Maria believed him, thinking this was normal all couples fight and have arguments.

Until one day he physically pushed Maria, 8 months pregnant, and ended up killing their unborn child. 

Naturally Maria fell into a dark depression until she realized she no longer wanted to live that way. 

She began her healing journey.

As Maria continued her journey, her mom became very sick. Moving to Edmonton, Maria cared for her mother until she passed. Leaving Maria alone and distraught. 

Maria continued turning to light work and to this day continues to heal herself and others with her work.

Things got worse, quickly. A week later, high on drugs, Jesse and three other people committed a home invasion and robbery. And a week after that, he got into an altercation that ended when he fired shots into a car that was chasing him. He hit and injured the two men in the car.


Jesse pleaded guilty to multiple felonies. Sentencing guidelines called for 11 to 16 years, but Albemarle County Circuit Court Judge Paul Peatross doubled that time to 32 years.


Jesse received a conditional pardon on his sentence and was released in August 2021, almost 19 years after being incarcerated.


In prison Jesse turned his life around. He earned a college degree in psychology. He's trained as a cook and electrician. He teaches yoga and Spanish. And he's a mentor to other inmates with mental health and substance abuse issues.

This caused Ann Marie to move around a lot, live with friends and random people her mother knew, and eventually end up in foster care at 10 years old.

Her father got her out of foster care at 12 but was absent in the majority of life, and Ann Marie eventually found herself moving around again. 

Ann Marie got her GED at 19 and got accepted into pre-med program at university. She made it into med-school early but battled financial instability and lack of support, a lot of comparison, self-doubt, tons of limiting beliefs, and low self-worth.

Searching for help, she got into meditation during medical school, went to traditional therapy, read lots of self-help books during and after med school, but still felt like a fraud after medical school.

The major pivot in her life was the passing of a childhood friend.

This woke her up and she became very aware of self and life and what she had manifested at that time. 

Traveling across US in travel trailer searching for answers, she found a hypnotherapist which transformed her life.

She went to school for hypnotherapy and dived even deeper into meditation.

Never looking back, her profound awareness of her limiting beliefs has healed self-neglect, abandonment issues, low self-worth, feeling like a fraud, major depression, and anxiety.

The moral of it all...Ann Marie learned how to get out of her own way and not be defined by her experiences.

In ‘Cowboys Are Not Supposed to Cry,’ Mark W. Schutter tells his story of living a life with grief that began in his mid-twenties. The death of his young wife left him alone, and although life was tough, he vowed to show the world that he was tougher.

Remarrying and having a daughter, to onlookers, from the outside, life seemed happy again, until in an anguished night of prayer, Mark heard the words that to be the husband and father he wanted to be, he must:

• reconcile the past
• embrace the present
• redeem the future

‘Cowboys Are Not Supposed to Cry’ is a story that will challenge you with questions that
often have no answers about death, life, love, and the way we think about grief. In this
memoir of love, loss, grief, and healing, Mark shares his experiences, trying to be who he
thought everyone expected him to be.

This account, written from the unique perspective of a man, questions what society
deems acceptable behavior for grieving men and their healing.

This journey is one we all must face, full of deep love, painful loss, and the healing of the soul.

Mark pulls back the curtain to show how death is only the beginning. You will carry your
grief; the joys and sorrows occupy the same space because healing is never perfect, and
that is okay because there is always hope. Grief is not something you just get over, and
even the toughest cowboys may sometimes cry.

He was and still is honestly the man of her dreams.

18 years after she said, "I do in sickness and health, for better or for worse, till death do us part...." PTSD reared its ugly head.

For three years Amy fought to get her husband, the man she fell in love with back, and sometimes it was very lonely. Amy felt they were abandoned at times, but just when they would be at the brink of giving up, God would send a stranger into their lives to help them.

Because of all the strangers who became angels Amy wants others to know they are not alone.

The mental health system is a nightmare, a beast, and a dragon that will swallow you, but if you have an advocate, mentor, or coach, you can survive it and navigate it.

Is it easy? Hell no, the system will try to break you, but you can do it and you can support your loved one through it, one day at a time, sometimes one second at a time...

There is hope...and Amy's husband, family, and herself are walking, breathing, living proof that you can come out on the other side and when you do, you will be a better, stronger person because of it.

He was and still is honestly the man of her dreams.

18 years after she said, "I do in sickness and health, for better or for worse, till death do us part...." PTSD reared its ugly head.

For three years Amy fought to get her husband, the man she fell in love with back, and sometimes it was very lonely. Amy felt they were abandoned at times, but just when they would be at the brink of giving up, God would send a stranger into their lives to help them.

Because of all the strangers who became angels Amy wants others to know they are not alone.

The mental health system is a nightmare, a beast, and a dragon that will swallow you, but if you have an advocate, mentor, or coach, you can survive it and navigate it.

Is it easy? Hell no, the system will try to break you, but you can do it and you can support your loved one through it, one day at a time, sometimes one second at a time...

There is hope...and Amy's husband, family, and herself are walking, breathing, living proof that you can come out on the other side and when you do, you will be a better, stronger person because of it.

A car accident. 

A heart attack. 

A global pandemic. 

Every one of us, at some point, will experience some traumatic event, sudden life change, loss of a family member or other such event. 

The issue is, will that moment be even more stressful and cause increased distress or will you be ahead of the game and have all necessary details organized by having some emergency kit tips? 

Let’s face it, in times of tragedy we are already in distress so the last thing we need is to enter another level of overwhelm trying to deal with looking after the affairs of someone close.

Especially if that person hasn’t prepared for this and has left nothing behind to help take care of things.

Tina Ginn is the founder of Your Back Up Plan and is an emergency preparedness expert. 

Learn why it's so important to be prepared just in case.

We’re in muddy waters at this point, confusing waters, even—and those are the ones that author Jessie Kanzer knows all too well. She’s a rape survivor who didn’t acknowledge that she was a rape survivor until many years after the fact, being that hers was a date rape, murkier than a clearcut assault but non-consensual nonetheless, with power dynamics at play that she later recognized made her a clear victim.

Still, “I didn’t want to be a victim,” she says, “I still don’t, which is why I wrote about my shame-spiral of an experience with the hope of helping others in my forthcoming book, Don’t Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching. Since I was sexually assaulted by a supervisor at a film production company with close ties to Harvey Weinstein, I had to grapple with the fact that I was yet another fly in the never-ending Weinsteinesque net.”

Jessie says she continued to put up with lascivious men as an actress, describing hilarious but damaging scenes in her book, including having to film a pilot with a bare bottom that a male producer photographed with his phone, just for fun.

She has reckoned with her past, though, and now as a middle-aged mom, she has advice for other women navigating their way in a not-yet-safe world.

After a troubled divorce, Leia Baez found herself facing the lowest point of her life…losing custody of her daughter because of her alcohol addiction. 

Back in her childhood bedroom one night, Leia looked at the ceiling and saw the plastic glow-in-the-dark stars that once gave her hope. That night, changed the trajectory of her path. 

“I was determined to empower myself so I could become the best mother, the best professional and the best leader possible,” she said. “My struggles and my dark times have made me so much stronger. Fearless, even. I have learned so much about myself, about overcoming adversity and about always trusting God’s plan.

“I know that stars don’t shine in the light – and neither do we. It is during the darkness that we are forced to grow and learn who we are.”

After spending most of her career telling other people’s stories, it’s time for Leia to tell her own.

A survivor of sexual assault, Emily Bernath’s life quickly turned away from having everything and toward feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness.

She hit rock bottom, thinking her body had been tainted and that her worth had been taken from her.

It was in being open about her experience, that it became apparent to Emily just how many other people experience similar feelings of shame and disgust and allow things that aren’t true about them to define them.

Through rediscovering her faith and identity in Christ, Emily has found freedom from the shame and condemnation in this world, and she hopes to be able to help others find that same freedom for themselves.

Together we talk about having faith, finding a higher power, whatever that looks like for you, can help you on the path to healing and wholeness.

As a result, people who are grieving often feel isolated in their grief and surprised by the many forms it can take. They may wonder if their feelings and actions are “normal” and valid, especially if it’s their first time losing someone important to them.

When Janine Kwoh was in her twenties, her partner unexpectedly passed away.

At the time, Janine was one of the only people she knew who had experienced such an intimate loss at such a young age.

Feeling isolated, she started to write and illustrate cards as an outlet for what she was feeling and what she felt she needed to hear.

Little did she know, those grief cards would quickly become the most popular products from her stationery company, Kwohtations, and now she has brought the same signature warmth, inclusivity, and humor to her book, Welcome to the Grief Club, through a mix of narrative text and illustrations about the grief experience.

These men and women are tasked with the job of teaching our children. Helping mold them into who they will become as adults. 

But they also have to face our children at their best and worst behaviors. Educators are being trained to understand the impact of chronic stress and trauma on students’ development, behavior, and learning.

Schools are making great strides in becoming trauma-informed, and trauma-sensitive, but they have a long way to go. 

In an article on Psychology Today, Dr. Stuart Ablon writes:

"...traditional school discipline revolves around rewarding students when they do what we want and revoking privileges when they don’t: a toxic dynamic that many traumatized kids are already all too familiar with in their past relationships with adults. In other words, traditional school disciplinary strategies are about as trauma-uninformed and trauma-insensitive as it gets!"

In the early days of grief, support can come flooding in. But there are still those who hold back because they simply don't know what to say or how to help those who are grieving.

When Victoria Wilson-Crane suddenly lost her niece after battling COVID for sixteen days, she found herself lost. 

She found herself in a situation where she was needing support, and also was being called upon to support people who were closer to her niece than she was.

During her early days of grieving, she turned to books and found there were many books for bereaved parents and partners, but few for those on the slightly outer circle of grief.

This prompted her to not only write her book, Sixteen Days: A Sudden Death, What to Say? but to also become a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist.

In the aftermath of these crimes, Shannon dealt with a heavy burden of grief, the stress and publicity of a major criminal investigation, and the painful stigma of guilt-by-association, all while attempting to understand what had made Jason turn to such violence.

Her new book, Heal For Real, walks you through a proven curriculum that has helped thousands to make peace with the past, and achieve post-traumatic growth.

Through hands-on activities, reflections, and inspirational stories and quotes, Shannon takes you through the steps of defining what forgiveness means—and doesn’t mean—to you and provides practical strategies that will help you offer and receive it.

In her memoir, Truth Has a Different Shape Kari O'Driscoll faces the challenges of being groomed as a caretaker, growing up in the post-first-wave-feminist 70s and 80s, in a family where her need for love is often unmet, and how that shifts her own identity as woman, wife, mother, and child.

Kari has learned to see her own personal evolution as an ever-expanding spiral - where she does occasionally find herself back in a familiar place, but with more wisdom and life experience.

As she makes her way through, she is able to draw on her past to build resilience and a deeper understanding of how she wants to be in the world.

Known for never ducking a fight, Karen Hinton was at the peak of her career in 2018 when a catastrophic brain injury propelled her into the battle of her life. Emerging from a coma, learning to walk, talk and write again, she was determined to “speak up, not shut up” on issues involving women, men and power.

In her newly released memoir, Karen coins the term “penis politics” to describe how powerful men assert control over women in a vulnerable or subordinate position and the extensive media attention Karen received over her revelations of Andrew Cuomo’s sexual politics.

Karen's goal with Penis Politics is to help change the way we treat each other with an outspoken appeal to moving us in the right direction and a wake-up call for men to support the women in their lives.

Recovering from a case of whooping cough, Jacob was playing on a playground. Having fun, running around...and then for no apparent reason, he suffocated. 

That experience changed his life and his path forever. His near-death experience (or NDE) was very traumatic but gave Jacob the gift of knowing from a young age what life had in store for him. 

His story is told in his new book, "Life After Breath."

"Death, even for a moment, changes everything.

In Life After Breath, Jacob’s near-death experience as a child ripped an opening between him and the spirit world.

He lived but was forever changed. As he grew, darkness and light led him on a roller coaster ride of turmoil, loss, discovery, and renewal.

He now shares this mystical journey with those brave enough to explore the “other side,” understand the beings there, and hear the wisdom gleaned.

He faces the question of the hereafter, looks at life lessons, and examines what a connected awareness can mean to the human experience."

But behind closed doors, Kellan was suffering. Kellan grew up in an abusive environment where his parents beat him up every single day. Unaware of the reasons behind the violence, Kellan believed himself to be worthless. To cope with life's cruelty, he turned to drugs at the tender age of 13.

Jeff has worked to impact the lives of thousands prior to the release of his memoir, Don’t F*cking Kill Yourself: a story documenting his own struggles with anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation, offering two potentially life-saving ideas: we can reduce the stigma around suicide by sharing our stories, and we can push through our darkest moments by connecting our minds with the passions, people and experiences that define the best parts of our lives.

A key point in Jeff’s memoir is that trauma is a constant – and we, the humans, are the variable. Dealing with trauma is a journey, not something we can just get over, and sometimes you deal with it in several aspects and forms in your life.

If you or someone you love is dealing with suicidal ideation, you are not alone and there is help.

Driven, hardworking and successful, until that moment, there was no sign of the inner turmoil he was experiencing – turmoil Jeff was also feeling, at 18 ears old. Jeff has worked to impact...
Jeff has worked to impact the lives of thousands prior to the release of his memoir, Don’t F*cking Kill Yourself: a story documenting his own struggles with anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation, offering two potentially life-saving ideas: we can reduce the stigma around suicide by sharing our stories, and we can push through our darkest moments by connecting our minds with the passions, people and experiences that define the best parts of our lives.

A key point in Jeff’s memoir is that trauma is a constant – and we, the humans, are the variable. Dealing with trauma is a journey, not something we can just get over, and sometimes you deal with it in several aspects and forms in your life.

If you or someone you love is dealing with suicidal ideation, you are not alone and there is help.

No one can accuse Diane Danvers Simmons of telling a familiar story. Instead she offers a wickedly witty, candid, irreverent, British coming-of-age story with a fresh take on maternal abandonment, albeit next door.

In My Mother Next Door she shares the life lessons learned growing up in the revolutionary 1970s while her narcissistic mother charted her own unfathomable course to independence and freedom.

After living in America for decades and becoming a mother herself, Diane journeys back through the madness of her early years, coming to terms with a comical, painful family history, but also celebrating the strength and humor it has given her to face the absurdity of life.

In trying to understand what drove her mother to become the woman next door, Diane discovers new respect, love, and even forgiveness: the root of our humanity.

Suffers will normally have to build extra time into their day to perform rituals (such as touching or checking things over and over), or excessive handwashing or washing of objects because of contamination fears, and tend not to socialize with others as a result.

The bizarre, very odd nature of OCD worries and behaviors makes it next to impossible for sufferers to reach out for help.

OCD cannot be tackled with a ‘common sense’ or logical approach – this usually makes it worse. It is therefore a very difficult thing for family and friends to understand.

Helena Tarrant suffered from long term debilitating OCD and anxiety. She recovered
via Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and self-developed strategies.

As an OCD advocate, Helena works independently and in association with several charities to dispel the myths and stigma surrounding OCD and anxiety, and to help sufferers and supporters.

She had just gone through a traumatic breakup, and both of her roommates were stuck in America, so she was forced to spend 3 months living alone. During that time Olivia learned that her house makes a TON of noises in the night. She learned that she is the roommate who never does dishes. And she wrote a book.

So she wrote 1,000 words every day. Most of them were not beautiful, but 65,000 of them pieced together to become the story of Eleanor Quinn.

Olivia Swindler’s debut novel, Cynthia Starts a Band (October 19, 2021, Morgan James Fiction), tells the story of a young girl who decides to start over in Seattle with a new identity and purpose for herself. It’s a novel about discovering who you are when no one is looking, and summoning the courage to be honest with yourself and the world. Cynthia Starts a Band embraces the values of family, empowerment, and healing while also subtly drawing on the #metoo movement.

Born to an upper middle-class Jewish family and raised among the glitterati of Hollywood, the veneer of Sadhviji’s glamorous upbringing hid dark secrets about sexual abuse, depression, anxiety and bulimia. As expected of her, she excelled in her undergraduate studies at Stanford University and had worked most of her way through a Ph.D. program in psychology when, in the summer of 1996, her life unexpectedly changed forever.

Her husband insisted they travel to India so he could continue his spiritual studies and find his guru. Sadhviji, who was a non-seeker, reluctantly agreed as she loved Indian food. In Rishikesh, India, the first city they visited, she had an unexpected, powerful, transformative experience standing on the banks of the sacred Ganga river, an experience of the Divine which brought her to her knees in tears.

Although she thought she had come to India to please her husband and because she liked Indian food, it was Sadhviji’s destiny to find and walk this path to enlightenment.

She shares her fascinating story, detailing her time of learning, sacrifice, unbridled joy, deep challenges, ecstatic experiences, and peaceful contentment in India as well as her meaningful international work as a faith leader in the development sector, planting and nourishing seeds for peace, focusing on world health, water, sanitation and hygiene, and the rights and empowerment of women and girls.

This is a love story like no other – and one in which the love keeps coming long after his wife’s passing, through a special foundation set up to provide low-income women with advanced cancer the resources they need for their healing and recovery.

Michael was only six months into his unexpected love affair with his second wife, Margot, when he discovered a lump in her breast. For the next nine years she fought her cancer, armed with a fierce love for life. With Michael by her side through the good, the bad, and the worst, Margot showed her husband how to truly live. “I left behind all my doubts, fears, and guilt because I knew that what I wanted most was to live in color,” Margot told Michael.

Helping others is the focus of Michael’s life now. A visit with a single mom who also had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer inspired him to start the Love from Margot Foundation, which provides low-income women with advanced cancer the resources they need for their healing and recovery.

For the next nine years she fought her cancer, armed with a fierce love for life. With Michael by her side through the good, the bad, and the worst, Margot showed her husband how to truly live. “I left behind all my doubts, fears, and guilt because I knew that what I wanted most was to live in color,” Margot told Michael.

Helping others is the focus of Michael’s life now. A visit with a single mom who also had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer inspired him to start the Love from Margot Foundation, which provides low-income women with advanced cancer the resources they need for their healing and recovery.

Today we see crime, abuse, alcoholism, drugs, anger, and anxiety everywhere. Jails and prisons are crammed on an industrial scale.

Recovery centers are packed with patients. Extreme political and religious groups regularly trap more members.

Too many schools are simply factories for dropouts.

All of this is the result of unresolved trauma.

Ultimately, the quality of our lives depends on our ability to successfully process our heartbreaks and catastrophes.

By college age, 66% to 85% of all people have been impacted by at least one traumatic experience.

Leah Witman Moore, created her popular parenting blog, Loving You Big, after learning that her then 20-month-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Cri Du Chat - a chromosomal deletion disorder that affects 1 in 50K births of children in the U.S. each year - to capture the journey of raising a child with significant special needs. The blog quickly turned into a safe haven for parents to connect as they endure everyday struggles, especially through the pandemic.

“As a disability expert and activist, I want to create a world for my daughter and millions of Americans that doesn’t fault them for their disability,” says Leah. “It’s time to stop seeing children and adults as their disability and instead, see their disability as the very thing that makes them beautifully unique.”

Drawing from her expert insights and personal experiences, Leah shares why implicit bias toward those with disabilities is increasing and how to create a more inclusive world.

Leah Witman Moore, created her popular parenting blog, Loving You Big, after learning that her then 20-month-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Cri Du Chat - a chromosomal deletion disorder that affects 1 in 50K births of children in the U.S. each year - to capture the journey of raising a child with significant special needs.

On her healing journey, she has learned the magic of working with the Nervous System through energy and consciousness tools to arrive at the Embodiment process for healing trauma.

She used this method to heal herself and now teaches others as well.

Through understanding our Nervous System as the interface with our energy (or subtle anatomy body), we are able to release and rewire patterns of trauma WITHOUT needing to go through or relive the actual event or story, to take back our power, free our emotions, and release the stuck energy.

The average American caregiver spends 4 or more years caregiving, roughly 24 hours per week dedicated to supporting their loved one, and their out-of-pocket spend average of over 7k/year.

Caregivers typically find themselves providing this level of care for a loved one with very little expert support. Usually, they tap into friends and family members for advice.

Because of the chronic stress of caregiving, caregivers are twice as likely to suffer from Depression, Hypertension, Diabetes, and Pulmonary disease.

Ten years ago, Drs. Madhavi Vemireddy and Jeff Jacques eldest son was born prematurely and frail. They struggled for 9 months to understand what was wrong and find a way to help him get on the road to wellness. He spent 11 of his first 33 weeks of life in and out of ICUs. When they took him in for 5 hours of open-heart surgery and he was suddenly thriving again, they thought the hard part was over. 4 years later he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum.

A few years later, Jeff's father became suddenly ill while on his 50th wedding anniversary cruise. The brain tumor that manifested on that cruise took his life 7 months later.

Madhavi and Jeff realized after supporting their son and supporting Dad, the journey as a caregiver was largely the same. All-encompassing. Frustrating. Packed with the fear of failure. And, isolating.

They asked themselves, how do others manage? Pooling everything they had learned about digital health platforms, engaging patients struggling with their own health conditions, and talking to scores of caregivers about their experiences and their struggles, they launched CareTribe. Their goal was simple, they wanted to build a better future for caregivers and their loved ones.

Excruciating even. You may be in physical pain for sure, but the mental and emotional anguish that many new mothers go through is pure hell. What’s worse, is that many new mothers do not seek help out of fear of judgment, or having their children taken away. Many new mothers are not even able to articulate what they are feeling. And the availability of quality postpartum care for new mothers is severely lacking. According to the CDC about 1 in 8 women experience symptoms of postpartum depression.

Jillian Amodio is an author, writer, speaker, and mother of two. She is the founder of Moms For Mental Health which serves to offer tangible support and referrals for women and their families who are facing mental health struggles. The group has grown to over 3k members in less than two years. Jillian is also receiving her master's degree in social work to become a licensed clinical social worker.

More importantly however, Jillian has experienced firsthand the depths of despair and hopelessness that accompany PPD and PPA. Having not received adequate care and support during her own struggles, she now strives to offer other moms and families the support they need to overcome this brutal beast.

• About 11 to 20 out of every 100 veterans (or between 11% and 20%) who served in operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom have PTSD each year.
• About 12 out of every 100 Gulf War Veterans (or 12%) have PTSD each year.
• About 15 out of every 100 Vietnam veterans (15%) were currently diagnosed with PTSD when the most recent study of them (the National Vietnam Veteran Readjustment Study) was conducted in the late 1980s. It’s believed that 30% of Vietnam veterans have had PTSD in their lifetime.

When Brian Reese returned from active duty in the air force he found himself lost in the overwhelming world of VA benefits - suffered from PTSD among other things - and, long story short he wanted to help his veteran brothers and sisters avoid what he went through, so he started a business in Austin called VA Claims Insider and recently released a book called You Deserve It: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Veteran Benefits You've Earned. He made this his 24/7 mission.
