Summary

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 9-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.

Critic reviews

Powerful, brilliant and deeply healing (Fearne Cotton)
Genuinely practical and doable with memorable stories, heart-warming rituals and hard-hitting, life-affirming quotes. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who wants to do the work. (Melissa Hemsley, Chef and Bestselling Author of Eat Happy)
Donna's words will peel back the emotional layers to reveal how you got to where you are, then help you build back up again, to the person you were born to be. The Bridge is a radical healing journey, truly transformational (Brigid Moss, Wellbeing Journalist and Author)
One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't traverse The Bridge Retreat before the pandemic. At least God in her wisdom divined this book (Thandiwe Newton, Actor and Director)
My grief was blocking my joy. Donna's invite to go deeper into my pain meant I was able to access much more joy and it felt amazing. This work works! Give yourself the best gift ever, buy this book and go on the journey with Donna, you won't regret it (Jill Halfpenny, Actor)

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.

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!

Beautifully read by the author Donna herself, narrating every chapter in a very natural style that inspires the listener towards a positive life. Great book that sounds really good to both heart and soul.

A life changing book!!!
