Parents around the world are constantly searching for guidance to navigate the unpredictable journey of raising children. But what happens when life doesn't go as planned? When challenges arise—whether it's a child facing illness, bullying, or academic struggles—how can parents find the strength to remain hopeful? How do they sleep at night, knowing the world can be so uncertain, especially when their children are vulnerable to threats like terrorism or mass shootings in schools? Confronted with these types of difficult issues, it's often challenging to maintain a positive outlook. We can all feel discouraged when the unknown makes us think, “If things aren't good today, they won't get better in the future.”This is why bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and podcaster Allison Carmen's new audiobook, Maybe Everything is Okay: A Parent's Guide to Less Stress and Worry (September 17, 2024; Tantor Audio Original; narrated by Kim Niemi), is both important and timely.

Perhaps most importantly, Maybe Everything is Okay also equips parents with the tools to pass this invaluable perspective onto their children, helping them navigate their own challenges with more confidence and hope.Maybe Everything is Okay is more than just an audiobook—it's a lifelong companion for parents, offering a mindset that transforms fear into possibility and stress into resilience. Embracing the power of Maybe allows parents to approach each moment with their children with calm and openness, paving the way for a future filled with unexpected joys and opportunities.Discover how the concept of Maybe can change everything.

Mark's son Nick was having terrible headaches, and as parents often do, he went to school anyway. When the headaches worsened, they took Nick to see his pediatrician and then a doctor, and then specialists. It was too late and misdiagnosed. He had brain cancer that had not been seen before in NJ. They lost their beloved son, Nick, too young. Rockets in the Sky is Mark's memoir on learning to heal. He takes the reader on many twists and turns, from sadness to anger and finally acceptance. It is beautifully written, and he has included some pretty funny family stories. Mark began writing in his journal in January 2019 to see if he could heal through the terrible loss of his son, Nicholas. He simply needed to see if he could survive. After two years of writing, he realized he could and would survive. Through the people he met, the mediums, the signs, and sightings of Nicholas, his days got a little easier. In Rockets in the Sky, Mark shares his struggles with his faith in God and his grave disappointment in science. How they both let his son Nicholas down, showing no mercy, while he was fighting the last stages of brain cancer. He kept the right people close and found the right tools to help regain and strengthen his faith in God, renew his belief in science, and, most importantly, reconnect with Nicholas. If you are going through the loss of a loved one and you're struggling, we hope what is written within these pages can inspire you to move forward with your life. To bring your loved one's spirit with you as you go. Mark Petruzzi can be followed on Instagram @mvpetruzzi Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Reema Datta is the author of The Yogi's Way: Transform Your Mind, Health, and Reality. Datta first learned yoga and Ayurveda from her mother and grandmothers, as well as her grandfather, who wrote several books on Vedic philosophy. After receiving her master's from the London School of Economics, Datta worked for the United Nations before leaving to study ancient yogic wisdom and practice. Since 2002, she has taught yoga and Ayurveda workshops, retreats, and trainings in twenty countries across five continents. Over three thousand years ago, yogis knew what scientists are discovering today: The mind has the power to destroy us or to propel us to greater peace, creativity, possibility, vitality, and freedom. Yet yoga's profound teachings on the mind and consciousness are largely absent in modern settings while its physical aspects of postures and breathwork take center stage. Her students include Sting, Paul Simon, Edie Brickell, Zainab Salbi, Sujatha Baliga, and thousands of other practitioners globally.

In a world where division and uncertainty are prevalent, the need for genuine connection has never been more critical. But how can we remain connected when opinions diverge and times are unpredictable? The answer lies in cultivating curiosity by “Living in the question,” according to TJ Woodward.We've been conditioned to seek answers, believing that they hold the key to resolving issues. However, an answer-focused mindset can lead to discord in our personal and professional relationships. When we prioritize being “right,” we risk alienating those around us, fostering judgment and conflict instead of understanding. In contrast, asking open-ended questions encourages connection and authenticity. This practice of “living in the question” allows us to explore life's complexities without the need for definitive answers, creating space for new possibilities and deeper connections.TJ Woodward is a recovery expert, addiction treatment specialist, inspirational speaker, and bestselling author shares his perspective on how we remain connected in the midst of divergent opinions and uncertain times.Find out more at:  www.TJWoodward.comhttps://wholehearted.org/ Learn more about your ad choices.

For six minutes, Wisconsin husband, farmer, and writer Philip Hasheider was dead. He met all the requirements: heart not beating, lungs no longer breathing, skin an ashen color turning blue. He was lifeless, flat on the floor. “Six Minutes in Eternity: A Memoir” is an extraordinary story of his Near Death Experience (NDE), including the events on an early October morning leading to his sudden cardiac death and what he experienced during that time away from his body. Through no request or fault of his own, he had suddenly, in an instant, become an expert on dying. This book explains what he experienced when being revived and explores how the full awareness of his life has been opened for him with a new set of eyes. His interpretation of the experience here and in another dimension offers a pathway for others to follow this journey with him. www.facebook.com/philip.hasheider   Learn more about your ad choices.
