Ashes in the Milk by Valerie Johns https://amzn.to/4cmOZRn When people think of trauma, they think of the extremes: veterans of war, survivors of genocide, or malnourished refugees. Our minds instinctively consider those who have been exposed to the harshest realities our world has to offer. But in truth, trauma is rather common and impacts millions of people. Trauma is often caused by interpersonal conflict, inflicted by one person on another. Meaning, those who suffer from the impacts are often the people we love and hold dear―and don’t even know it. Or they are the strangers we see on our way to work, or out running errands. They are the adults walking around with small, wounded children within them―dying for a way to heal, recover, and live a fulfilling, healthy life―without the wounds of their childhoods. They are the adults who have suffered from neglect, mistreatment, and even abuse as young children―and their suffering has seen no end. Unrealized, these traumas are passed down from generation to generation even when most parents insist, they will do better than their parents did. This pervasiveness is exactly what Valerie Johns has noticed, and experienced, throughout her personal and professional life―and is what’s driven her to spread awareness, connect with others who are suffering, and help create a path forward. Drawn to the subject of trauma and healing by her early childhood abuse, Valerie became an expert in all things healing, and found solace and comfort in the written word too, becoming a poet and published author. Throughout her healing journey, and her journey to help others, Valerie found that many books in the space are often too academic, too prescriptive, or too dry― leaving an entire readership unmoored, lost, and entrenched in insufferable pain. While prescriptive self-help and more hands-on help can be wonderfully helpful to those suffering, Valerie has recognized a need for something much more intimate, vulnerable, and creative. Using the written word, those who are wounded can discover the deep chasms of pain within themselves and feel inspired and encouraged to explore even more deeply. Drawing from her own personal experiences and professional expertise, “Ashes in the Milk” answers this call and bridges the gap between self-help, vulnerable narrative, and prose. Broken down into powerful, entrancing stanzas, readers are invited to find hope and solace in Valerie’s writing, in search of their holistic healing and peace. “Ashes in the Milk” will remind readers that their greatest path to healing lies within―all they must do is walk down the path.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Whispers, Sinners, and Saints by Nancy Heart https://amzn.to/4cvcR5L Whispers, Sinners, and Saints is a multigenerational story of heartbreak, horror, trauma, abuse—and perseverance. At the center are Anna, born in New York in 1959, and her mother, Ann, a Hungarian woman who immigrated to the US in 1957. Ann was twelve when the Nazis ordered the slum where she’d grown up to be the designated ghetto for all Jews. During that year, most of Ann’s family would disappear or be killed. Her means of survival became the streets, where she removed clothing from corpses and snatched items left behind by those taken to concentration camps. Young Ann witnessed murders, torture, and persecution. After Anna was born, Mother Ann shared the atrocities she’d endured by physically beating them into her daughter. Ann swore to make her child “pay for all the wrongs done to me in life,” while Anna promised to “grow up and never be like my mother.” Miraculously, at five months old, baby Anna found enduring salvation through an omniscient connection, All Knowing. Yet, Anna craved a human saint to save her. But who? And where would they come from? Whispers, Sinners, and Saints is a raw and gripping true story of survival and resilience. About the author Nancy’s recipe for happiness is to share ideas and deep thoughts and avoid wasting time in superficial conversations and gossip. She has traveled six out of the seven continents. Having grown up in Manhattan and South Florida, she is a xenophile—preferring exposure to various cultures of the world over sand and sun. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Miami, studied Art Appreciation in Europe, attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, studied Kabbalah and Buddhism, and traveled the perimeters of the United States. Nancy’s philosophy is: “One who laughs loudest, masters pain the best.” Pain offers the opportunity to discover one’s true self and greatest strengths. Nancy now lives in Colorado. She is an ambivert, and when not writing with her Maltese-poodle “Cookie-Cake” by her side, she enjoys urban hikes, mahjong, scrabble, reiki as a master, and meditation. Above all else, Nancy appreciates quality time with friends and her adult children.

Whispers of the Flight, A Voyage to Cosmic Unity by INAM M. INAMULLAH Amazon.com/dp/B0DB3TLY43/ Whispersoftheflight.com The book delves into a mystical journey inspired by Farid Al-Din Attar’s profound wisdom (The Conference of the Birds). Through captivating narratives and profound truths, this novel invites readers into a world of spiritual discovery and self-recognition, echoing the timeless lessons of self-discovery and the transformative power of following one’s dreams. Among many themes, the book offers readers The Quest for Self-Discovery, Overcoming Obstacles, Unity in Diversity, The Illusion of Materialism, and Surrendering to the Divine. It welcomes all to read and immerse in its pages to see their vision becoming their new reality. The book allows readers to unlock the hidden chambers of their soul and discover a path paved with purpose. Maiah and Zak, two young adults living in New York, decided to embark on a hiking expedition to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Maiah is a student of Sufism, while Zak is skeptical of such philosophies. They joined a diverse group of hikers from around the world with the goal of trekking the seven valleys of the Atlas Mountains, known as one of the most challenging hikes globally. Their guide was Professor Ali Ansari, a sage and academic. Throughout the journey, the group encountered numerous difficulties, often feeling unable to continue. At these moments, Professor Ansari drew on the parables and wisdom from Attar’s “The Conference of the Birds” to inspire and rejuvenate the hikers. This wisdom proved effective, enabling the group to overcome each obstacle. By the end of the hike, Zak, who had initially dismissed Eastern wisdom, emerged as a transformed individual, profoundly changed by the experience. Inam, the author, was born into hardship and affected by Polio but found solace in art, turning pain into beauty. Despite numerous obstacles, he became a celebrated artist through resilience and creativity. Inam’s appreciation for Sufi wisdom revealed the universe’s mysteries to him. He is also a prolific poet and playwright with international acclaim. The author believes that Sufism is an advanced and more comprehensive version of manifesting self-awareness techniques. One does not need to follow a specific religion to understand and apply the methods and tools described in the book to embark on the path of Sufi personal transformation. All the methods outlined in the book are non-denominational. If you are a fan of Rumi’s wisdom, you will love Whispers of the Flight. Happy reading, and may your adventure within these pages be as transformative as it is unforgettable.
