Alchemy of Resilience

My Rugged Path to Wholeness

De: Hertha Louise Lund

Narrado por: Hertha Lund

A tenderhearted and fierce memoir of healing from loneliness, despair, and excruciating physical pain.

Born to a troubled mother, who passed her trauma on to her daughter, Hertha Lund carried this burden throughout her life, always struggling with a sense of not belonging to any group, to any point on the map, to humanity as a whole. In search of spiritual wholeness following a path electrified by an undercurrent of deep pain, Hertha went from being a cow boss in Montana to a journalist in Philadelphia and then in the courtroom and the halls of Congress, often pondering what it would be like not to inhabit the physical world.

Eventually, her emotional wounds manifested in debilitating physical pain, followed by a near-death experience, the catalyst she needed to find a renewed, fierce desire to live. She made a pact with God to do whatever it took to recover from her past. She returned to her roots in Montana ranching country, where her deep connection with the land and horses helped transform her pain into profound inner strength.

Ultimately, Equine Gestalt Coaching and faith helped her move through unresolved hurt toward willful transformation. Hertha's inspiring story is a guide to reclaiming your soul and walking from darkness into the light.

Hertha’s vulnerability to be honest and share her true story is inspiring.

I liked the flow of her story and how Hertha stayed focused in sharing her path to wholeness. It was very relatable and transformable.

Courageous Journey

Hertha shares her courageous journey through life in these pages. Resilient-yes, as the title states, yet also flexible. She adapts to challenges while remaining true to herself. She encourages us all to do the same. Beautifully written.

Uplifting

I have read and now listened to this book. I love that Hertha narrated her book. Hearing her voice brings back so many memories.

Hertha is one of the strongest, most resilient and yet kind people I have ever met. Listening to her life story and how she climbed her personal mountain to overcome what she was dealt was uplifting. Thanks to her horses, her faith and many great guides and therapists she overcame overwhelming circumstances to become who she is today.

Thank you Hertha for baring your soul so that others may learn and grow.
