About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Every single one of us is living with the aftershocks of heartbreak. Whether it's the sting of not fitting in at school or the pain of witnessing our parents' divorce, the end of our own marriage or the death of a loved one, to be human is to bear the wounds of all our losses and setbacks.

Heartbreak can manifest itself as depression, anxiety, self-sabotage, an inability to feel emotions, make connections, or live life on your own terms. Donna's practical nine-step programme will empower you with the tools and support you need to gain clarity, identify what has hurt you and learn how to release the pain, fear and anger keeping you trapped.

Donna will teach you how to care for yourself with love, give you the courage to really feel your feelings, step into your authentic self and move towards whole-hearted living.

This book is for anyone who is experiencing pain, heartbreak, sadness or overwhelming emotion and can't seem to get beyond it. All of us want to be able to live with more compassion, The Bridge will help us get there.

There are some books that should be listened to on audible AND read, turning the pages in hand. The Bridge is one of these for me. It’s captivating with hope for transformation and healing and equally, practical, challenging and joyful in the approach. I’m not gonna lie- it’s not an easy read at times and the ‘over to you’ sections require courage. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a desire to live more wholeheartedly and authentically, who is ready to take a look at their stuff and allow the book and Donna’s compassionate words to guide them through. It’s 150% worth it and the book is what it says it is 💜 It’s a great book to buddy up with a friend or two and to discuss and share as you cross the Bridge. The opportunity for growth and to deepen into life is a gift for each reader to discover. Thank you

There’s no way I couldn’t leave a review for Donna’s beautiful book, I just hope my words covey some of the feeling I have for it. I fully committed to the work Donna recommends as I knew I had a lot of pent up emotions which I couldn’t untangle and they were pushing me further from the person I want to be, the more I struggled with them the more they came to the surface - and they weren’t pretty! Hello shadow side in all your glory (Donna, I said it!). The audiobook was perfect for me with the guidance all spoken in Donna’s own voice and words which for me being a book more to life.
Donna’s wisdom is profound and her unshakeable faith in the journey we take with her across The Bridge is life changing. Go there with her, you so won’t regret it.
Thank you deeply from my now peaceful heart to yours Donna. ♥️

Profound, Powerful and Absolutely Beautiful ♥️

Not only is this book beautifully written and read, it’s breaks down the ‘fear’ of the healing journey. The work is your own to do, but it feels like Donna is there with you, nudging you along. Donna has shown us a way forward, a map get where you need to go - to find your own way to wholehearted living.

So grateful for this book

A beautiful read/listen. This is both a loving hug and a gentle nudge; a transformative soul soothing treat your mind, body and soul will thank you, and Donna for.
Without a doubt it has been the best work I’ve ever done for myself! I’ve listened to and read a decent amount of therapeutic, self help, wellness books and also had talk therapy on/off for 2 decades; whilst they’ve been helpful, Donna’s work and offerings are invaluable. I’d urge everyone to check out her book and her work.
It really is a must listen/read for everyone. I found Donna’s book immensely transformative and I can’t thank Donna enough.
Donna is very relatable and inspiring as she shares her own personal history and knowledge. Her wisdom, trainings and experiences have led to her sharing her wonderful gift and words with us and I urge everyone to reach out and gratefully receive them - you won’t regret it.
So, The Bridge Book - Bought the audible version first (was too impatient to wait for delivery of the hard copy book). Fortunate enough to then buy the book and get started on the life-changing journey that Donna helps and comforts you through. Both the book and audible versions are superb and I highly recommended. The audible is perfect and narrated beautifully by Donna herself as her tone and voice are well suited to the healing work this book guides you through. I’ve listened to her soothing tones in the car and on walks and then worked through and read chapters in the book.
It’s a little like having that nurturing mother, elder and wise woman nudging you along. Loving, supportive and encouraging.
The hard copy book is also essential in my view as it helps with the work to be done and useful to refer back to. My hard copy is full of underlines, highlights and page markers, alongside my pen and journal/paper which you will need to ‘do the work’.
Don’t be put off by the notion of ‘doing the work’, yes it’s not easy and there may be discomfort in the pain that may arise, and tears of sadness, anger and grief or whichever emotions needing to be released. Some may not be ready to ‘do the work’ and Donna welcomes everyone regardless.
Thus equally I’m sure you could read/listen and then return to do a ‘deeper dive’. (I see this as ongoing transformation work, so it’s not a one time shot at healing - it’s way more than that.. It’s a gift of a toolkit that will aid you through the rest of your life during turbulent times, grief/loss or discord, be it through life changes, personal wrangling-mind body and soul, career/work, and relationships, family or health).
You need to be open to be your own personal investigator, sit and do the internal processing and reflection work when the time is ready for you; as this is a deeply personal journey of discovery and awakening and ultimately healing, all of which your soul will be eternally grateful for.

A must listen! And buy the book too!

I'm glad I chose the audio book version, it means I can listen when I'm out walking and it's nice to have the voice of the author with you. it's a book to challenge your thinking but done in a safe and accessible way, I can't say I 'enjoyed' it per se but I listened to every single word and feel like I learned a lot - it's an important book and I recommend it whole-heartedly to anyone but especially if in mid-life you feel stuck.

Such a great companion book
