BONUS - Surrender, An Audiobook by Bono of U2 - Dave's Audible Recommendation

Surrender, An Audiobook by Bono of U2 - Dave's Audible Recommendation

Bono—artist, activist, and the lead singer of Irish rock band U2—has written a memoir: honest and irreverent, intimate and profound, Surrender is the story of the remarkable life he’s lived, the challenges he’s faced, and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him.

Narrated by the author, Surrender is an intimate, immersive listening experience, telling stories from Bono’s early days in Dublin, to joining a band and playing sold out stadiums around the world with U2, plus his more than 20 years of activism. 

Throughout a remarkable life, music has always been a constant for Bono and in the audiobook, his distinctive voice is interwoven with a very personal soundtrack adding atmosphere and texture to each and every scene. From moments of classic U2 hits to snippets by The Clash, Patti Smith, Verdi, Johnny Cash and Mozart, Surrender also exclusively features clips of newly recorded reimagined versions of U2 songs including ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’, ‘With Or Without You’, ‘One’, ‘Beautiful Day’ and more, glimpsed for the first time on Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story.

EPISODE 96 -  

Heidy De La Cruz joins us to share her blog, podcast and new book Words From the Heart

About
Hello, my name is Heidy De La Cruz (Reynoso), I am Dominican-American and I’m passionate about writing! I write poetry, encouraging blog post about personal experiences and any message that God has stored in my heart. I am working on publishing my first poetry book.

First and foremost, I am a daughter of Christ, a wife, and a mother.
I have my Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration through Belhaven University, and I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Science with the concentration of Psychology and Healthcare Administration, through Keiser University.

Psychology and mental health are other passions; I love reading about it, and studying it. I am an advocate for therapy because of the way it helped me.
I am an active reader, as well. I love non-fiction books because I love history, and I enjoy learning. The more you know, the better, and I am a true believer that knowledge is power.

The Book: Words From the Heart comes from a place of hurt and trauma. It goes through the journey of processing the trauma, accepting, and healing. It reflects feelings, situations, and stories from the imagination

I Started a Podcast!
And here’s why. In 2019 I got the urge to want to start a podcast, but I was working on my master’s degree, so that was taking up the majority of my free time. In 2020 the world shut down. And last year, I was pregnant and mostly sick. So, this is finally the year I launched my podcast!

It’s called The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants. In this podcast, I sit down and talk with immigrants about their journey coming to the United States. We discuss their first memory of the US, their expectations vs. their reality of the US, the culture shocks they experienced, and how they adapted to living in a new country.

These stories are important to tell, they are important to listen to, and they are important to know because this country is made up of immigrants. This country has such rich diversity, and there is no other country like this. It’s not easy for families to leave their culture, language, food, and country and start over in a foreign land. Many are fleeing to find safety because their lives are in danger.

The first episode is available now. And you can find the podcast on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Castbox, and Amazon Music. New episodes on Tuesdays!

With Love, Heidy

EPISODE 94 -

Win Charles Multi Author and Podcaster with Cerebral Palsy on a mission to help others with disabilities

Born with Cerebral Palsy, Win Charles has defied the odds by becoming an author. Her memoir I, Win is an amazing story of how she remembers her life through the years of having a condition called “CP”. Competing in the Kona Iron Man Triathlon, she truly is an inspiration to many. Today she is planning on touring the country and speaking to schools and institutions to raise awareness about cerebral palsy. She is also an advocate of veterans across the world.

After losing her mom Win decided to write “I, Win”, her own biography. It was an exciting process but she was not as happy with the end result as she could have been because the process was rushed. She knew she wanted to do things differently but she didn’t listen to her intuition and speak up so the book would be more polished and professional.

After a horrible experience in the hospital that caused her spine to go dead, Win was told she had to go through excruciating physical therapy and psychological treatment. She did the physical therapy but said “no thank you” to seeing a psychologist. Instead, she channeled her anger into art and then into a book which has opened up all new avenues in her life.

Win is tenacious. If she wants to get something she doesn’t stop until she has figured it out how to get it. She is resilient and persistent. If you want to get what you want, you have to figure it out!

The book: I, Win - At age 24 I decided to tell my story. Writing this autobiography gave me the opportunity to pay tribute to my family members who are passionate about life and have instilled this passion in me.

My parents' extraordinary support, encouragement, and pure love were my foundation as I navigated life, overcame obstacles, and achieved successes as a young woman with cerebral palsy. I have to pay full tribute to my mother, who died in August 2010. From her I learned to listen to my own voice as a guide to making life choices. She taught me to always expect the best from myself

EPISODE 92 - 

Broken to Boldness LLC was created as an avenue to bring more awareness to domestic abuse.  Completing my first novel, “Torched - Burnt By a Gaslighter”, is a fictionalized story based on actual events showing the impact of gaslighting on the victim and their families. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 43 million women and 38 million men will experience mental or emotional abuse by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Many are afraid to leave these abusive relationships for a variety of reasons - fear, shame, embarrassment, lack of education or job skills, or even because they have nowhere to go.  I know these feelings all too well as I, too, experienced gaslighting (verbal abuse).  It’s time to stop the abuse!

This website will be a source for education and resources to help educate on recognizing the red flags and provide avenues to empower those wanting to safely leave these relationships. Please check back often for the latest information

Falling in love and marrying at a young age, Martha was not aware of gaslighting and its impact until seventeen years and three kids later, when a suicide attempt brought the abuse to the surface.  What decision did Martha make to save her family?
