1 JUL 2024 · Tina Davidson, a highly regarded American composer, creates music that stands out for its emotional depth and lyrical dignity. Lauded for her authentic voice, The New York Times has praised her “vivid ear for harmony and colors.” Opera News describes Tina Davidson’s musicas, “transfigured beauty,” and the Philadelphia Inquirer writes that she writes “real music, with structure, mood, novelty and harmonic sophistication – with haunting melodies that grow out of complex, repetitive rhythms.” Tina Davidson’s music can be heard on Albany Records, CRI, Mikrokosmik, Callisto, and Opus One recording labels – most recently recorded by Hilary Hahn on Deutsche Grammophon. Her memoir, Let Your Heart Be Broken, Life and Music from a Classical Composer, is now available from Boyle & Dalton. Her memoir traces her extraordinary life in equally lyrical language, just a posing memory, journal entries, notes on compositions in progress, and insights into the life of an artist – and a mother – at work. REVIEW "Let Your Heart Be Broken is a consummate read in its entirety, exploring with uncommon sensitivity and poetic insight the fundamentals of love, forgiveness, creativity, and what it takes to emerge from the inner darkness into a vast vista of light, rooted in the life - tested truth that “we are, in the end, a measure of the love we leave behind.” ( Maria Popova, The Marginalian ) Website:http://www.tinadavidson.com/ https://amzn.to/4bp4TdH: https://amzn.to/4bp4TdH Connect with Tina: https://www.facebook.com/tina.davidson.5205/ https://www.instagram.com/tinadavidson.music/ Join our supportive Facebook group community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthrivedream Connect with me: Gmail: https://gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthrivedream_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/healthrivedream YouTube: https://youtube.com/@traumarecoveryexpert Twitter: https://twitter.com/healthrivedream LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenrobinson2022/ Website: https://www.healthrivedream.com/ Podcast: http://healthrivedreampodcast.com/abuse Loved this episode?

27 APR 2024 · Ruth Fearnow's first book, Therapeutic Mindfulness, is a synthesis of her decades-long meditation practice and her work as a trauma-focused therapist. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner, she has identified and embedded the factors necessary for healing into therapeutic mindfulness, a skill to facilitate one's healing journey. Ruth's private journey began as a young woman when she found herself studying Kungfu and qigong in Dengfeng City, China, the home of the famous Shaolin Temple. It was there she began a serious meditation practice. While this skill takes years to develop, this was her first big step to understanding mindfulness practices. Ruth's evolution into a trauma therapist has enabled her to integrate age-old wisdom with trauma-informed insight. As a result, she has developed healing philosophies and the process of therapeutic mindfulness which she practices personally, and teaches to her clientele, many of whom use it on their own. Therapeutic mindfulness has now been adopted for professional use by colleagues in the mental health field. Dealing with feelings directly is transformational and Therapeutic Mindfulness shows us how to do so. Ruth feels it is time to spread the word on a wide scale.

23 APR 2024 · Amanda Blackwood wears; author, public speaker, podcast host, artist, survivor; but ultimately, she’s a woman who transformed her trauma into resilience and strength. When Amanda finally managed to get away from the man who was trafficking her, she was thirty-one years old and didn’t know what she’d gone through even had a name, much less how to deal with the pain of feeling like a broken person, unworthy of love and filled with so much anger. On a freezing cold day in 2018 she saw former trafficked people standing strong and showing their beautiful resiliency on a stage at an anti-trafficking event. At that moment she finally knew what her purpose in life would be. Since then, Amanda has spoken on a multitude of stages, international summits, radio programs, and had over a dozen books. She launched two podcasts-one that focuses on interviewing other authors of trauma, and the other that discusses the long-term consequences of trauma and how to fight back for a better life. Amanda lives in Denver, Colorado with her rescue cats and supportive husband who keep her safe.
