		<description><![CDATA[Cape to Cairo - a journey of heart and hope. <br />
11,000 km, 301 days, 1 Guinness World Record. <br />
<br />
Why would a 57-year-old with a genetic heart condition attempt the fastest journey on foot from Cape Town to Cairo?<br />
<br />
In Running Africa, Keith Boyd tells the story of his epic run, complete with injuries, illness, being taken hostage, getting caught up in a rebel firefight, and having members of his team imprisoned.<br />
<br />
From a soft start in South Africa to increasing danger and hardship as he headed further north, Keith reminds himself – and us – of why he undertook the journey.<br />
<br />
After a business career spanning 40 years, Keith repurposed himself as a socio-economic activist, determined to make a dent in the greatest issue of our time: poverty.<br />
<br />
He founded RainbowLeaders.org.za to motivate young Africans to vote, elect great leaders and hold them accountable – and soon realised that the organisation needed a platform to spread awareness of its message. His audacious attempt to break the 25-year-old Guinness World Record became that platform.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Any story worth telling must begin with the women.<br />
There is that photograph, of course. My mother: standing in front of a soldier, closer than anyone else would dare . . .<br />
A gorgeously rendered, unflinching portrait of the fractured relationship between a mother and her daughter—set against the tumultuous end of apartheid in South Africa.<br />
In late-1980s South Africa, teenager Kelelo is forced to leave her mountain school for a newly desegregated school in town, where her identity as the daughter of celebrated freedom fighter Kewame “Dolly” Malaka makes her an instant curiosity. While her classmates see her as a symbol of progress, at home she struggles with a mother who is emotionally unreachable, still haunted by the violence and deprivation she endured as a political prisoner under apartheid.<br />
Kewame, now living in material comfort, hides a growing inner collapse as memories of prison life and the women who sustained her resurface, stirred by her grandmother’s illness and the pressure of maintaining a façade of perfection. As mother and daughter navigate a shifting political landscape, We Inherit the Fire interlaces their voices to reveal the unspoken wounds, buried histories, and complex inheritance of resilience, pain, and responsibility that bind and divide generations of Black South African women. <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/">Penguin Random House Canada</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

		<title>Upstairs Downstairs - A Musical Memoir | Karina Marais</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1621118</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1621118</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[A first-of-its-kind musical memoir that blends storytelling with lyric readings and original songs.<br />
<br />
“Knock-knock, anybody home?”<br />
<br />
For 20 years, Karina Marais and her partner have lived apart together in a shared residence—his bachelor pad upstairs, her retreat downstairs—connected by a staircase that links their spaces while preserving their independence. No unannounced visits, no dull routines—just passion, freedom, and a love story shaped on their terms.<br />
<br />
In Upstairs Downstairs, Marais shows how they successfully manage a Living Apart Together relationship where love, ambition, and independence coexist. But her memoir isn’t just about love after divorce—it’s also about passion and daring to dream. Some of her dreams took flight, others fell short, but she didn’t want to leave this world without chasing them. <br />
<br />
That drive makes her jump out of bed every morning, a trait many aspiring entrepreneurs share. Through multisensory storytelling with words, lyric readings, and music, she brings to life the emotions behind love, loss, and the pursuit of dreams in this South African memoir. <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1608897</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1608897</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Hiking the Length of Kruger National Park Hiking the Length of Kruger National Park. <br />
<br />
Walking Wild is not your typical safari -- no game drives, no cool sundowners and definitely no fences. Instead, it's 605 km of dust, sweat and unforgettable moments as an unlikely group of strangers sets out to walk the entire length of Kruger National Park.<br />
<br />
Over six stages and three years, they walked from Crooks' Corner in the far north to Malelane in the south, averaging 20 km a day with heavy backpacks and only the wild for company. Led by two armed guides, they braved blistering heat and violent storms. At night, as hyenas nosed their tents and lionesses strolled right through camp, some slept soundly -- others lay wide-eyed, waiting for dawn. They drank from murky trickles in dry riverbeds, navigated thick riverine bush teeming with hippo, buffalo and crocodiles, and slowly learned to read the bush -- from the smallest antlion to the distant roar of a lion.<br />
<br />
But Kruger's wilderness is not without its challenges. Poachers -- both criminal syndicates and those in search of bushmeat -- move in the shadows, rivers bring pollution from beyond its borders, and conservation battles rage on.<br />
<br />
Walking Wild captures the magic and the madness of life on foot in one of the world's most iconic national parks. It's a story of adventure, camaraderie and deep immersion in the wild -- a journey that leaves no one unchanged. Walking Wild is a testament to resilience, discovery and the deep connection between people and nature. If you've ever dreamed of experiencing Kruger beyond the safari vehicle, this book is your ticket to the trail. <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1600462</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1600462</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Critical Skills for leading people. <br />
<br />
In the minefield of leadership literature available today, this book provides clarity, adding fresh and unique insights to critical leadership skills. The author draws upon his own unique experience from an unforgiving environment, forged from his background in the military and the international corporate world. <br />
<br />
This book is for you if you:<br />
·Want to be an effective leader.<br />
·Are willing to transform into the change you wish to see.<br />
·Are committed to improving the lives of those you lead.<br />
If this sounds like you and you are willing to do what it takes, you are invited to take an inner journey of self-reflection. Self-reflection is critical for leadership development. In the process, improve your personal and professional life and discover practical tools. <br />
<br />
Increase mental resilience – These unpredictable times place more demands on people mentally, emotionally, spiritually and possibly even physically. This is the ‘new norm’ for which mental resilience is essential. <br />
<br />
Build a sense of trust and safety - Unlike mainstream leadership literature which tends to focus mainly on the vision of the leader, this book also focuses on the leader’s ability to build trust and provide a sense of ‘safety’ by ‘holding the space’ in these times of VUCA. <br />
<br />
Inspire Ownership-driven Leadership - The Selfless Leader sees the Collective as fellow stakeholders. In times of crisis, ‘self-preservation’ for the Selfless Leader is ‘collective preservation’, seeing the people as an extension of oneself. This book enables a sense of Ownership for you. <br />
<br />

		<title>52 Big Questions for Business Leaders | Mike Stopforth</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1587312</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1587312</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Unlock a new dimension in leadership by asking better questions.<br />
<br />
Answers are overrated. In an unpredictable world, asking the right questions is significantly more powerful than clinging to stale, dated answers. What you knew yesterday won’t always take you where you need to go. Great leaders stand apart because they know how to ask themselves and their teams questions that spark insight, challenge assumptions, and drive action.<br />
<br />
52 Big Questions for Business Leaders isn’t just a collection of prompts and provocations – it’s a guide to sharper, more intentional thinking. Whether you’re leading a start-up or a global enterprise, the questions in these pages will help you pause, reflect, and lead with clarity.<br />
<br />
Drawing on decades of leadership experience, Mike Stopforth infuses wisdom, wit, and practical insight into the art of inquiry – because crafting big, beautiful questions is a skill worth mastering. This isn’t a book to read once and shelve; it’s a tool to return to whenever you need fresh perspective, focus, or inspiration.<br />
<br />
In the end, great leaders aren’t defined by the answers they give – but by the questions they dare to ask.<br />
<br />
Mike Stopforth is a serial entrepreneur, speaker, and facilitator who thrives at the intersections of leadership, technology, and impact. He is the MD of Second Rodeo, a specialist advertising agency, and the founder of Beyond Binary, a digital leadership academy. Previously, Mike started Cerebra, Africa’s leading social media agency (acquired by WPP), and co-founded Afrigator.com (acquired by Naspers). He writes Elegant Disruption, a monthly newsletter for over 4 000 business leaders, and hosts the popular One-Eyed Man podcast. Based in Cape Town, Mike holds an MSc in Social Business and Entrepreneurship from the London School of Economics and Political Science and, in his spare time, runs a family-friendly Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu studio in the Southern Suburbs. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5O2O3Qobg4ki9775f5Pz4D">Buy on Spotify (US CAN UK NZ AUS)</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

Being in control of everything in her life was crucial to her survival and success. For the most part, it had always served her well until it didn’t. After The Fires is an inspirational memoir where Nozipho shares her deeply personal journey about managing life as the “golden girl” and what it takes to have it all.<br />
<br />
The book begins with her receiving the news of her mother’s passing while she stood on the biggest stage of her career. This event sends her into a spiral that leads her to reevaluate her ideas of success and what it costs to achieve it. Raised in a challenging political time in Pietermaritzburg KZN, the world was not her oyster. It was a series of miniscule gaps of opportunity that could not – must not – be squandered. And if she did her best, she could have it all. Now in her 40s, she has realised that what she needed to survive, may not be what she needs to thrive.<br />
<br />
Ultimately, it’s a story of growth, courage, and letting go. The memoir also touches on her familial journey, the emotional and physical challenges of infertility, and how she learned to surrender control. <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A secret attempt to recover Kruger's gold is fraught with intrigue, deceit and double-dealing. A riveting listen, beautifully read by Malcolm Gooding.<br />
<br />
In January 1903 John Buchan, one of Milner’s Kindergarten, is summoned to a meeting in Johannesburg with Lord Milner and visiting British Secretary of State, Joseph Chamberlain.<br />
<br />
He is informed that much of the gold that was removed from the State Mint by the Transvaal government, because of advancing British forces, is still in the country. A clue to the location of this hoard of gold, a veldpond, had been found at Pilgrim’s Rest.<br />
<br />
Buchan is tasked by Chamberlain to find the gold, referred to by all as ‘Kruger’s Gold’.<br />
<br />
Buchan heads for Pilgrim’s Rest without delay, by train and on horseback, through the beautiful mountains, forests and waterfalls of the Eastern Transvaal.<br />
<br />
The resulting tale is one of danger, subterfuge and adventure, cloaked in the utmost secrecy.<br />
<br />
It is gripping and suspenseful until the very end. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0KqHUhNnBAckc0FaOlKQS2">Listen on Spotify</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

<br />
If you are not relentlessly fixated with relevance today, you will be ruthlessly annihilated by irrelevance tomorrow.<br />

How relevant are you?<br />
<br />
Is your relevance under threat?<br />
<br />
In a world where everything is changing before our eyes, nothing matters more than your ability to stay relentlessly relevant. Relentless Relevance is your must-read guide to thriving in chaos. Part business blueprint, part manifesto for forward-thinkers, this compelling book draws from insights in technology, culture, and human behaviour to empower individuals and organisations to rewrite their stories.<br />
<br />
Building on the provocative ideas of his bestselling book Legacide Richard Mulholland makes a powerful case for abandoning legacy thinking. With sharp wit and actionable wisdom, he challenges you to reimagine the future and embrace the reinvention necessary to remain indispensable.<br />
<br />
“I found myself asking the question, ‘Am I still relevant?’ What I discovered is that if you find yourself asking the question, the answer is no. Mostly because it’s the wrong question. The right question is, ‘What can I do today to stay relevant?’ You see, relevance is not a milestone anymore; it’s the path that we travel.” – Richard Mulholland<br />
<br />
Be prepared to shift from comfort to curiosity.<br />
<br />
Richard Mulholland kicked off his career as a roadie, operating lights for bands such as Iron Maiden, Midnight Oil and Def Leppard. In 1997, at the wee age of 22, Rich founded presentation powerhouse Missing Link because he figured that the typical presentation is so sh*t, he couldn’t do much worse.<br />

		<title>Stars of the Morning - A History of Michaelhouse 1896-2021 | Gary M Ralfe</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1439092</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1439092</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Michaelhouse was described by AM Barrett, in a previous history, as once amounting to a ‘handful of boys on a dusty street in a small town’, a far cry from the magnificent 680-hectare site in Balgowan with a world-class programme and facilities that constitutes the School of today. <br />
<br />
And nobody is better placed to characterise that journey, the transformation of Michaelhouse into a great school with a rich heritage, than Gary Ralfe: Senior Prefect of 1962, Old Boy of stellar academic capability, Cambridge graduate and captain of industry, Chairman of the Michaelhouse Board from 2008 to 2016 and benefactor – indeed, a man who has had a profound influence in shaping the modern Michaelhouse. <br />
<br />
Through his extensive research, insight and instinctive love for Michaelhouse, the deep friendships and the unique contributions of many and the triumphs and difficulties of the past 125 years have been made accessible. The crafting of this book, the clarity of its structure and a story so beautifully told has been an immense labour of love.<br />
Old Boys and all who cherish Michaelhouse are profoundly grateful to the author, as the book evokes a sense of pride in all who have walked its cloisters, quads and fields. In Stars of the Morning he has rekindled a sense of the School’s Christian heritage and the fulfilment of the intentions of the founder, James Cameron Todd. It makes compelling reading. <br />

		<description><![CDATA[A hundred lessons in school leadership. <br />
<br />
After leading the top GDE school in Joburg's northern suburbs for many years, Dave Robinson shares his secrets and advice with the next generation of school leaders.<br />
<br />
Education is a right for all young people in the world, yet quality and relevant education is still elusive. Schools are searching for the perfect recipe for success in a rapidly changing world. Principals are at the focal point of educational delivery, which makes leading schools throughout the world one of the most stressful and challenging occupations. It is a profession that requires many different life, leadership, and management skills. Working with people is, at best, filled with drama, and in addition, principals lead schools crowded with impressionable and volatile children or teenagers with all their changing hormones, peer pressure, the stresses of society, and the challenges emanating from their complex family structures. Teachers are facing huge challenges in the classroom that force heads of schools to give more supportive and constructive leadership. Creating the perfect balance between discipline, compassion, maintaining academic standards, and a relevant academic path for students, all while leading a motivated and skilled staff of teachers is a mammoth task for any individual.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[A Memoir of Mozambique<br />
<br />
Narrated by the author<br />
<br />
From communism and war to democracy and peace - From boardroom intrigue to private islands.<br />
<br />
The story of a farmer and pilot raised in colonial Kenya who went on to play an active role in Mozambican politics whilst leading Lonrho’s foreign investment in that country. This unique memoir describes life during Mozambique’s transition from communism to democracy, from poverty to an investor’s choice. It has been a life creating farms, gold mining and operating hotels through war and peace. Then supporting peasant farmers and developing the conservation of a private tropical island.<br />
<br />
It is proof that nothing is impossible and Africa offers opportunity to those who persist. It is a personal record of the changes in modern Africa and Mozambique in particular an investor’s destination. <a href="https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0CNFMTHC1/?source_code=AUKFrDlWS02231890H6-BK-ACX0-375190&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_375190_rh_uk">Audible UK</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/B0CNFMVQKV/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-375190&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_375190_rh_us">Audible USA</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

The story of a farmer and pilot raised in colonial Kenya who went on to play an active role in Mozambican politics whilst leading Lonrho’s foreign investment in that country. This unique memoir describes life during Mozambique’s transition from communism to democracy, from poverty to an investor’s choice. It has been a life creating farms, gold mining and operating hotels through war and peace. Then supporting peasant farmers and developing the conservation of a private tropical island.

It is proof that nothing is impossible and Africa offers opportunity to those who persist. It is a personal record of the changes in modern Africa and Mozambique in particular an investor’s destination.]]></itunes:summary>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1360793</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Halley’s Comet is a story of friendship, love, change, taking chances, hope, a comet, and some pretty cool 80s music.<br />
<br />
Pete de Lange must survive as a teenager in a small Natal town during the 1980s, together with his new-found friends, Sarita and Petrus. In a country marked by turmoil and racial conflict, this is not as easy as it seems. Pete and his friends witnessed a horrendous crime, and the perpetrator is on their case. Will justice prevail? In between all of this, Pete must try to make the first rugby team and win the heart of his high-school crush, Renate.<br />
<br />
This is an excellent coming of age story, full of emotion and nostalgia, set in a troubled country where doing the right thing was not always easy.<br />

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1353860</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1353860</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[The mesmerising story of how, in the face of a mighty army, ordinary people can say "No."<br />
<br />
It's March 2022 and Russian tanks are roaring across the vast, snow-dusted fields of Ukraine. Their destination: Voznesensk, a town with a small bridge that could change the course of the war.<br />
<br />
The heavily-armed Russians are expecting an easy fight - or no fight at all. After all, Voznesensk is a quiet farming town, full of pensioners. But the locals appear to have other ideas.<br />
<br />
Svetlana, a grandmother with arthritis, reacts in fury when Russian troops turn her cottage into their blood-soaked headquarters. Valentin, a quick-talking lawyer, joins the town's 'Dads Army' defenders, crouching in a trench with an AK47. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Sergei grabs a Molotov cocktail and lies in wait for Russian tanks as they push towards Dead Water Bridge.<br />
<br />
The odds are terrible. But a plan is emerging, and there's a chance it could save not just Voznesensk, but the rest of southern Ukraine. Meanwhile, inside the tanks, an inner battle rages. As Russian officer Igor Rudenko prepares to invade, he has a secret. He is Ukrainian himself.<br />
<br />
A gripping work of reportage that tells the story of a pivotal moment in Ukraine's war, this is a real-life thriller about ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances with resilience, humour and ingenuity. <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Step boldly into our strange, new world<br />
<br />
Written by John Sanei<br />
Narrated by the Author<br />
<br />
‘I know that what I’ve learnt in the past two years will help me for the rest of my life. My hope is that you will see yourself reflected in my own journey, and . . . consider who you will become in this new world of ours. Who we all might become.’<br />
<br />
If you’re suffering from a crisis of meaning, you’re not alone. In this powerful new book, future strategist John Sanei shares how he found ways to cope with the uncertainty that has been all around us in the past two years. Lockdown meant his career came to a screeching halt. He was living with his parents and then had to battle loneliness until he started to reassess who he was and what he wanted from life.<br />
<br />
Infused with empathy and personal anecdote, Who Do We Become? explores our individual responsibility to evolve into more decent, dynamic versions of ourselves, our businesses and humanity as a whole – especially in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
The book is divided into three sections. In Part 1: ANGUISH, John explores how to courageously mourn the loss of our ‘normal’ pre-COVID world. Part 2: ABNORMAL, shows us how to understand this new environment and recognise that uncertainty is the new normal. Then, in Part 3: ADVENTURE, John provides a toolkit for us to forge out into the new world, to succeed and recognise the signs of rebirth and renewal. Travel with John as he maps out our strange, new world and lays down a path to reframe our thinking, to recognise our discomfort, to survive and thrive. <a href="https://apple.co/3QRoLgK">Listen on Apple Books / iTunes</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BWKZKBRC/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-341924&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_341924_rh_us">Listen on Audible</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

<br />
Written by Jane Carruthers<br />
Narrated by Malcolm Gooding<br />
<br />
More than any other individual, James Stevenson-Hamilton can be credited with the creation of the Kruger National Park in South Affica.<br />
<br />
In 1902, when the South African War ended, Stevenson-Hamilton swopped his military career for the more uncertain calling of a game warden. Under his supervision the small, neglected and war-ravaged Sabi Game Reserve expanded in stature and size. By the time he retired in 1946, the Kruger National Park had become as one of the great national parks of the world.<br />
<br />
The evolution of the Kruger National Park was his life's work but Stevenson-Hamilton kept his many other interests alive. During the First World War he fought in Gallipoli and Egypt. In 1917 he was seconded to a civilian administrative post in the southern Sudan where he remained until 1921. During the late 1920s and 1930s he consolidated the development of the Kruger Park. After his retirement he remained in South Africa and lived with his wife and family near White River in the Eastern Transvaal <a href="https://apple.co/3Xnu36o">Listen on Apple Books / iTunes</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

Under his supervision the small, neglected and war-ravaged Sabi Game Reserve expanded in stature and size. By the time he retired in 1946, the Kruger National Park had become as one of the great national parks of the world.

The evolution of the Kruger National Park was his life's work but Stevenson-Hamilton kept his many other interests alive. During the First World War he fought in Gallipoli and Egypt. In 1917 he was seconded to a civilian administrative post in the southern Sudan where he remained until 1921. During the late 1920s and 1930s he consolidated the development of the Kruger Park. After his retirement he remained in South Africa and lived with his wife and family near White River in the Eastern Transvaal]]></itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[Written by Dr. Jean-Marie Jullienne<br />
Narrated by the Author<br />
<br />
This book has its origin in a spiritual calling the author received to find the true meaning of Bible texts by returning to the original Greek and Hebrew scriptures.<br />
During a period of isolation, he was inspired to search the scriptures and compare the original texts with widely accepted translations. Essential value lay in the root analysis of each word. Some words in Greek may comprise as many as four roots. By identifying the exact meaning of each, the true meaning of the word is discerned.<br />
<br />
Dr Jean-Marie Jullienne notes that mankind should understand that God’s uncreated energies are within them and are continually creating them. Every time they breathe, God is giving forth His Word in them.<br />

It is the author's fervent prayer that, through such earnest contemplation, you, the reader, will come to an understanding of your true identity in God. <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobook.php?title=logic-of-god">Download this audiobook now</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

		<title>Manifesting Motherness: Healing from Infertility | Rekha Ramcharan</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1255548</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1255548</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[What if infertility isn't a war but an awakening?<br />
<br />
Written by Rekha Ramcharan<br />
Narrated by the Author<br />
<br />
The author had her first child at 45 but, while that may intrigue you, what will keep you listening is the path that took her from infertility to 'motherness.<br />
<br />
This is a unique audiobook about infertility which, on the surface, tells the autobiographical success story of a woman who had a baby naturally against all the medical odds after four years and countless disappointments.<br />
<br />
At a deeper level, though, the audiobook explores the journey the author took from the first steps, in which she placed all her hope on physical infertility treatment, to her final understanding that the work she undertook on emotional, psychological, and spiritual levels was the true reason that she had achieved motherness.<br />
<br />
Viewing infertility not as a scourge but an invitation - to consider her holistic health and balance on a multitude of dimensions - the audiobook explores the many ways in which the battle to have a child, a source of despair for an increasing number of women, may be a call to engage with awakening, expansion, and spiritual growth. If you're over 35 - or over 40 - this honest (and often funny) narrative about finding purpose in a heart-breaking and often private torment may be the best audiobook you'll listen on the subject. <a href="https://apple.co/3iRNcOF">Listen on Apple Books / iTunes</a> &middot;  &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

But while the brothers pursue the Daughters, other plots have hatched in the night. The Old Way have plans of their own, and they won't let two Fairleaf children stand in the way of an abduction attempt.]]></itunes:summary>

<br />
Written by Devon Brough<br />
Narrated by the Author<br />
<br />
Devon Brough knows what it’s like when you say you’ve hit rock bottom; when you can’t take it any more; when you’re so low you’re wondering whether it’s worth living any more. He’s been there, got the T-shirt.<br />
<br />
Having suffered years of substance abuse, volatile relationships and self-destructive behaviour, Devon finally heeded the advice of R Narayan Murthy – that “Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don’t belong.”<br />
<br />
The process of change begins with one simple decision. It truly doesn’t matter what you’ve done or who you’ve been – there is tremendous power when you decide that you’ve had enough. From this comes the realisation that, no matter the mistakes of your past, you deserve to be happy and successful.<br />
<br />
In Get OVA It!, Devon presents his real-world method for anyone stuck in a life rut to break free from the pain and sadness holding them back. Ownership, Vision and Action stack together to form the structure of his programme – used in tandem, they provide an opportunity for profound transformation. <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobook.php?title=get-ova-it">Listen to the full book on Apple and Audible</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>

<br />
After helping to build the Eastland Insurance company for 17 years, Lanthus Trilby is retrenched, without warning, to make way for 'younger, brighter minds'.<br />
<br />
Feeling angry and betrayed, the passive actuary wants to let his (former) boss feel his rage. His initial plans of keying his boss’ car quickly escalate well beyond merely blowing it up. Lanthus is going to take down the entire company. But his plan needs a team with special skills. The hacker, the daredevil, the explosives expert and the acrobatic pair join Lanthus to pull off the most daring caper the world has ever seen to bring Eastland Insurance to its knees. But as soon as than the plan begins, trouble sets in.<br />
<br />
The police are closing in, and someone else wants a piece of the action.<br />
<br />
Can Lanthus keep it together long enough to pull off his master plan? <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobook.php?title=garage-band">Download this audiobook now</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/email.php?email=info@solidgold.co.za">Email Solid Gold</a> &middot; <a href="https://solidgold.co.za/audiobooks">For links to buy this book</a>]]></description>
