Everyone knows Sarah’s story - that she died proclaiming her faith. But it’s not true. I know because I was with her when she died. I didn’t say anything then, and people got hurt because of it.

Rather than bypass the reality of our feelings, we need to enter into them and listen to what they're telling us. Psychology professor and personal development coach Dr. Peace Amadi helps us navigate the complexity of our emotions, from discouragement and hurt to trauma and depression.

Most people will find themselves going through a difficult time after a breakup. With the addition of shared custody, everything can swiftly become overwhelming.

This eventually leads to an inability to react constructively and block out one’s instincts after enduring years of gaslighting or abuse.

For most people, talking is as important as breathing. Verbalizing our thoughts and feelings with other human beings is so central to our survival that even in our attempts not to communicate, we still “say” something. Although we all communicate, the ability to do it proficiently and with purpose is something we develop with knowledge, practice, and experience. Good communication is about the way we give our thoughts a voice and listen to what others have to say. This audiobook is here to explain how to overcome the fear of conversation and talk to anyone with confidence.

Baggage has gotten a bad rap. We think it's all bad. We think it makes us less likely to have good, healthy relationships today. But baggage isn't just the bad stuff that happened to us in the past.

And it's how we're going to make our current relationships work. Far from minimizing past pain, pastor Ike Miller shows you how to go through the baggage you carry from a difficult childhood and pull out the good stuff.
