About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'Life is what you make it, nothing is for free
Stand up and be counted, and be who you want to be'
'Let The Light In' Jane McDonald

Jane was planning a golden retirement with her beloved partner Ed, when a shocking cancer diagnosis changed everything. Ed was terminally ill. Jane nursed him at home until the end, on her own, with the UK in lockdown. At first she was overwhelmed, but slowly gathered strength from caring for her loved one, and now sees that it was a privilege to be there for him.

'Let The Light In', a song Jane wrote over twenty years ago during another dark time, points the way to finding a new kind of joy out of sorrow. It's a philosophy Jane has always lived by and, in this deeply personal book exploring the same themes, she reveals the lessons she's learned that have helped her grow, adapt and rise up through adversity. She looks back with candour and honesty on her experiences of heartbreak and loss, failure and burn-out. Cherishing the ring of support around her, taking the odd duvet day and keeping a sense of humour throughout, she grew stronger through each challenge, building resilience, trusting her gut, going for her goals.

Listen on and let Jane McDonald’s fabulous light into your own life.

Jane’s warmth, brilliant and funny personality, endless openness, fighting spirit and passion for life.

I love hearing Jane chat about all the rich life experiences she’s had. I would have liked a slightly deeper conversation about how she navigated the grief she has endured as I wanted to draw comfort and understanding from it, but i understand it’s a very personal thing for everyone. I had heard most of the stories before as I read and enjoyed her previous book, so only a little disappointed that it was very much the same in that respect. Regardless, Jane is the ultimate friend everyone wishes they had. She’s a heck of a woman! With a powerhouse of a voice xx

Janes honesty and integrity

Wow this is one of the best. books I have listened to. Jane had me laughing and in tears throughout. Her honesty and integrity shone through. The storytelling lifted me up.and made me think about my life. I have retired this week to live the life I have always wanted to by the sea. She has said take it with both hands and live it. We will and thanks Jane for a lovely and inspiring listen. Glad you read the book yourself as no one else could.
