Deepika Sandhu has gifted the world with this inspiring self narrated audio book telling how she Manifested a New Life and How You Can Too! She had no reason to question the life she was living. She did everything she was supposed to do to live an amazing life. While rushing to mark off each item on her long list of things to do, she realized that she never stopped to ask herself why she was doing it or if it was even making her happy. None of her checklists mentioned important things like “find joy, be fulfilled, or authentically align with your soul”. Luckily, through a series of circumstances orchestrated by the Universe, it all came crashing in on her. She was forced to realize that little of the life she had created made her happy. Deepika’s life was amazing on the outside, but on the inside she longed for something deeper and more meaningful. In this exciting and inspirational story, she takes you on a journey, while providing you with the tools you need to see that your story matters. The way you navigate your life matters. After listening to this insightful story, you’ll realize the importance of discovering who you are and what you are meant to offer this world. Audiobook release date: September 13, 2021 This title will be available on the following retail platforms: Audible, Scribd, Chirp, Apple Play, Google Play, Scribd, Nook, and Rakuten Kobo. STAY TUNED!!! The Cost of Our Lives by Linda González is a highly emotional memoir. Linda was sixteen when a man she didn't know from México appeared at the front door of her Southern California home. Before that moment, neither Linda nor her siblings knew anything about him. Devastatingly Linda’s family portrait slowly shatters over the next few years as she made new discoveries, and realizes her very existence is because her father abandoned his first family. Linda’s fluid language, of English and Spanish, reveals a sweeping journey over several decades. Secrets are unveiled and relationships forged and dissolved, often through painful and illuminating encounters with family on both sides of the Rio Grande. A beautiful, poignant story of families uniting across physical and emotional borders. This is a book you don't want to miss out on. Stay tuned for the audiobook release!  Breaking Through Your Own Glass Ceiling, audiobook by Linda Gonzalez, is an amazing book that shows great compassion. She invites BIPOC (Black, Indiginous, People of Color) to live with purpose, recognizing their goals and values in the workplace, while getting through situations like racism along her journey. Very personable and inspiring, Breaking Through Your Own Glass Ceiling emphasizes that it is “critical internal work to be able to challenge these external barriers.” In the seemingly endless sea of "self-help" books, Linda’s book stands out as an instant classic. If you are ready for a full-hearted breakthrough, this book can be the daily guide and inspiration you won't want to miss out on.
