    About this audiobook

    There's a cost to being a certain kind of strong.

    When it comes to difficult circumstances, we’ve all heard the platitudes: “No pain, no gain.” “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” But if we spend our lives trying to be “the strong one,” we become exhausted, burned-out, and disconnected from our truest selves.

    What if it were different? Could there be a different way to be strong? Could strength mean more than pushing on and pushing through pain, bearing every heavy burden on our own? What if, instead, true strength were more like the tide: soft and bold, fierce and gentle, moving together as one powerful force?

    In Strong like Water, author and trauma therapist Aundi Kolber offers a framework for true flourishing. With each page, you’ll:
    • Learn how your nervous system shapes your experience so that we can move through pain instead of being stuck in it.
    • Explore various practices, rhythms, and resources to support you in challenging circumstances with compassion and hope.
    • Discover how to internalize connection, love, and safety―empowering you with greater resilience.

    A different, more expansive way of healing, wholeness, and possibly―especially―strength is possible. We were made to be strong like water.

    • 5/5
      This book came as a recommendation from a betrayal trauma group but would be valuable for any type of trauma recovery and healing. There are lots of tools available within the book and Aundi is a kind and compassionate teacher throughout. The way she handled the Word of God within was necessary balm to my soul.
    • 5/5
      Oh my gosh! If you can’t afford therapy, please start reading this book! I am in a place where I could go once a month for several months. It was so beneficial. This book helped bridge those resources for me. Aundi, thank you. I laughed, cried, processed and will do that on repeat.
