#Booktalk Totally Loveable: A Mindful Guide to Moving on From Toxic Relationships and Creating the Love You Deserve by Tammy Lovell

Debut Book from ‘The Mindful Diva’ Takes Readers on a Journey from Toxic to Transformed!

 


Written by Tammy Lovell, Totally Loveable is the product of the author’s own experiences and more than seven years of education in meditation, healing and trauma recovery. Full of insight, gentle guidance, and hard-won wisdom, ‘Totally Loveable’ will show readers how to mindfulness can help them create the life and love they deserve.

Mindfulness is well-known as a remedy for everything from anxiety to chronic health conditions, but can it also help you find love?

After a wrenching divorce, journalist Tammy Lovell hit rock bottom. Like so many others going through emotional distress, Lovell turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, and came close to losing everything. It was only when she discovered meditation that Lovell saw light in the darkness, and embarked on a journey that would literally change her life.

It’s a journey that inspired Lovell’s new book, Totally Loveable: A Mindful Guide to Moving on From Toxic Relationships and Creating the Love You Deserve. In the book, Lovell shares what has worked for her and clients throughout the healing process and led to her becoming one of the foremost new voices in mindfulness education.

Covering a wide range of topics, including addiction recovery, narcissistic abuse, online dating, and dealing with your inner critic, ‘Totally Loveable’ is also about something profoundly universal to the human experience: finding love.


Synopsis:

Drawing on her expertise as a mindfulness teacher and her personal experience of recovering from a difficult divorce, Tammy outlines a complete plan for transforming the pain of your past into newfound self-love and empowerment.

“It was my own spiritual journey that led to this book,” says Lovell. “After my divorce my whole life fell apart and I eventually left my hectic media job to train as a mindfulness teacher. It’s been such an empowering change and it’s set me on a course to helping others, which is what I feel called to do.”

 

Continuing, “While anyone can talk about their topic of choice, with this book I guide readers toward their transformation through a series of practical exercises. Everything is laid out for them in an easy-to-follow manner. With this book, they won’t have to wonder if they’re on the right path - it will be there for them to follow. I truly believe my book is the key to changing lives for the better. It’s the best gift I could give - sharing what I’ve learned.”

Bulletproof Retirement: Live your Dreams, Avoid Excess Fees and Secure your Legacy

 Bulletproof Retirement: New book shares how not to be a casualty of the biggest financial scandal nobody is talking about.



 
A veteran of 30 years in the financial services market, Martin Wilcocks is one of the UK’s leading financial and investment advisers. In his book, Bulletproof Retirement, he explains how to keep your share of the £64 billion that is haemorrhaging from pensions and investments at the hands of those that administer our nest eggs.
 
Bulletproof Retirement: Live your Dreams, Avoid Excess Fees and Secure your Legacy is destined for a place on the non-fiction best seller list. In this significant and life-changing read financial guru Martin Wilcocks explains how we can retain our hard-earned nest eggs, in their entirety, by taking control of our finances ourselves (and therefore negating the need to collectively give away billions to those that administer our pension and investment portfolios on our behalf).
Concise and written in a manner to ensure the least financial amongst us can benefit from his sage advice, Bulletproof Retirement will undoubtedly rattle the cages of many involved in the industry. But, more importantly, the author should be congratulated for putting his head above the parapet and shining the spotlight on what he describes as ‘the biggest scandal that nobody is talking about.’



 
Synopsis:
 
From endowment mis-selling and the global financial crisis to pension transfer and PPI scandals: UK financial services exploit customers rather than serve them. Our pensions and investments are also under attack – high-cost financial advisers, glossy financial networks and ineffective expensive investment managers are taking £64 billion out of our pensions and investments every year.
 
Make a stand against these archaic practices and save yourself and your retirement from the biggest scandal that nobody is talking about. Read Bulletproof Retirement to understand how to:
 
           Identify what your future ideal lifestyle looks like and plan ahead to achieve it
           Become financially organised and set clear goals for investing, with a portfolio linked to these goals
           Enhance the monetary value of your plan and portfolio by maximising your pension, ISA and CGT allowances
           Reduce exposure by establishing a backstop that strips out risks within your personal and business life
           Protect your hard-earned wealth and pass it on to children and other beneficiaries safely and tax-efficiently
           Remain focussed on your plan, keep your goals on track and avoid making emotional decisions about your wealth.

Book Review: Dear Boobs by Claire Foskett

Dear Boobs: A book of poems about the love, leaks and let-downs of breastfeeding by Claire Foskett.

 


I was excited to receive a copy of Claire’s new book for review, since I am a former breastfeeding mother myself. It is several years since I breastfed my second child, but I still remember those crazy days and all the mood swings and mess.

Poems are a great way to represent our feelings, and Claire approaches her observations with humour and emotion mixed together. Her style of writing reminds me of Roald Dahl, and I love the illustrations in this book, and especially the Recipe for Breastfeeding Mums. There are some laugh-out-loud funny poems including A Cautionary Tale and Flashing, and there are more serious thought-provoking ones including Tired and Day Three.

Claire has included her own breastfeeding experiences in these poems, and her husband wrote a lovely poem to finish the book as well, which I thought was a nice touch. We often get so involved in supporting the mother that we forget about the father standing helplessly watching. Husbands and partners do take an active role, but it may not always be recognised.

I would recommend this book if you are a breastfeeding mum, if you are pregnant, or if you still remember those days and want to chuckle and reminisce. I will pass the book on to my sister who just had her first baby, and then to my friend who is pregnant, and I know they will relate to the poems and enjoy reading them.

 


You can find Claire on social media and you can buy the book here.
