    Join Karen Walrond, author of The Lightmaker's Manifesto, in this intriguing investigation into how we can reclaim aging, cultivate joy, and resist ageism. 
     
     
     
    During her own year of transition—a milestone birthday, a wedding anniversary, the emptying of the nest—Walrond, in the buoyant and luminous style her readers have come to love, does a deep dive into dimensions of getting older, including health, beauty, spirituality, connection, adventure, and meaning and purpose. Through conversations with social workers and neurologists, activists and clergy, Walrond satisfies her curiosity about why the dominant culture treats aging as a time of dwindling capacity. She also embarks on a series of experiments that help her rebel against convention: letting her hair go naturally gray, going on a silent retreat, revamping her health practices, and plotting her next adventure. 
     
     
     
    Internalized ageism is not our only option; we can write a different story of aging than the one we've been handed. With wisdom from luminaries who light our way, Walrond helps us radiantly rebel against the fads and assumptions that hold us back, redefine the adventure of getting older, and create a shining future of expanded potential. We might even raise a little hell while we're at it!

    What if your brain wasn’t the enemy... but the tool you’ve never learned how to use properly? 
    You wake up with that familiar tension in your chest. Your thoughts race before your feet even touch the floor. You overthink, avoid, procrastinate, repeat. You’ve tried to “calm down,” but your brain seems wired for panic. 
    Here’s the truth: 
    Anxiety doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your brain’s trying to protect you — just in the wrong way. And once you understand how that wiring works, you can start changing it. You can interrupt the panic patterns, replace the fear loops, and actually feel good again. 
    This audiobook gives you a toolkit for that shift — from overthinking to clarity, from mental exhaustion to resilience. 
    Here’s what you’ll take away: 
    •	Why your anxiety isn’t just “in your head” — and what’s really triggering it 
    •	The link between low moods, low energy, and how your brain processes stress 
    •	What your brain needs to feel safe — and why it’s not getting it 
    •	The exact moment negative thoughts take over (and how to stop them mid-loop) 
    •	Easy-to-follow brain rewiring techniques you can use anywhere 
    •	A simple way to build habits that don’t fall apart after a week 
    •	How to talk to yourself without sounding fake or cringey 
    •	Everyday rituals that quietly boost your mood and focus 
    •	What mindfulness really is (no incense required) and why it works 
    •	How to bounce back fast when old triggers sneak back inIf you’re tired of thinking your way in circles, this is your way out. Start rewiring. Start thinking clearly again. And start feeling like yourself — for real this time.

    “Lost Inheritance” is a compelling narrative that begins in the mid-18th century with the establishment of the Khumalo kingdom and follows the colonization of Rhodesia. 
    It provides a detailed account of the Holl family, prominent engravers in England during Queen Victoria’s reign, and the life of Harry Patrick Holl, who became a successful wheat farmer in Bulawayo. 
    The story unfolds to reveal the challenges faced by Harry’s biracial children and the author, Obert Holl, born in the mid-1940s in Rhodesia. The book portrays the family’s enduring struggles under colonialism and the loss of inheritance due to societal pressures and racial injustices. 
    Obert Holl shares his journey of overcoming adversity, rising to significant positions in both colonial and post-independence governments, and becoming a pioneer in the accounting field in Harare. “Lost Inheritance” is a testament to resilience and triumph over formidable odds.

    **Narrated by the Authors!** 
    A relatable personal finance guide that gives a fresh take on how to control your impulse spending so you can stick to a budget and pay off debt, without the guilt and shame of traditional financial advice—from the hosts of the beloved Frugal Friends podcast. 
    There’s a lot of noise out there about how to spend (and not spend) your hard-earned money. But what if you made financial decisions based on what you value—instead of what others are telling you to value? 
    This is the empowering approach Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, hosts of the Frugal Friends podcast, want you to take to improve your spending habits. They believe you can value anything (yes, anything!), whether that’s a daily latte, fancy dinners out, or vacations. But, despite what social media is saying, you don’t value everything. 
    The Frugal Friends’ wisdom comes from personal experience: Jen paid off $78,000 of debt in two years without a six-figure income, while Jill has a background in social work and downsized to an RV to pay off student loans. Together, their advice is both relatable and actionable. 
    In their debut book, they share a plan for sifting through what’s not important to find the things you truly love spending money on. You’ll learn how to 
    Analyze your current spending and identify what you valuePrioritize your values when you can’t afford everythingIdentify the root causes of your impulse spendingMake your habit changes stick long-term 
    From credit card and student loan debt to the rising costs of childcare and homes; it has never been more important to get control of your spending. Jen and Jill show you how to do it in a way that’s healthy, not shameful, while exploring topics like overconsumption, self-worth, and the insidious history behind our consumption-obsessed culture. 
    If you want to reach your goals and feel good about your finances, Buy What You Love Without Going Broke offers a holistic approach to reshape the way you think about spending money.
