    A funny, practical and crucial guide for women facing the life-changing prospect of returning to work after having children. 
    When Dolly had her children, the idea of returning to work felt daunting. The thought of having to combine the challenges of career and family was unfamiliar yet, despite it being the experience of so many millions of women, she struggled to find material to help galvanise and reassure her; and to make her feel that anything was possible. 
    In this book, Dolly aims to change all of that and provide women with practical advice, as well interweaving her own personal experiences with anecdotal stories, life-hacks and guilt-avoidance strategies from a diverse range of women in a wide variety of industries – from fashion designers to taxi drivers, journalists to actors, lawyers to doctors, bankers, entrepreneurs and restaurateurs. Told in an empowering and engaging way, The Ladder Down is a gift for the next generation of women taking on the trials, absurdities, challenges and general amusement involved in combining work and motherhood; one that will inspire and celebrate the women taking it on. 
    It will also feature serious advice from employers, employment lawyers and health specialists to boost knowledge and confidence; to act as a “ladder down” to the next generation of working women from a generation who have experimented their way to making it work.

    Downtown Madison, the largest contiguous National Historic Landmark in the United States, provides the perfect haunts for poltergeists and playful spirits.   Beautifully preserved mid-nineteenth-century buildings grace the streets of Madison, Indiana, providing a concrete connection to the past. But a more ethereal, ghostly link flits about these streets when night descends. Restive spirits linger here, like the extra that may join you mid-slumber at Whitehall Bed-and-Breakfast, a residual from the Civil War hospital that was once nearby. Feel the ghostly chill of a mob bootlegger who stops by the Broadway Tavern around last call and learn of the myriad ghosts that flutter here in search of something. Dive into the shadows of Madison on this chilling journey with Virginia Jorgensen.   Includes photos!

    Have you recently started suspecting that the reason you have such a hard time losing weight and keeping it off has to do with your emotional eating? And are you looking to break emotional eating for good so that you can stop the weight gain trend you often have when you are happy or stressed about something? 
    If you’ve answered "Yes", pay attention....  
    You are about to discover exactly how to take charge of your emotions, break the association you have between emotions and food, and develop new, healthy relationships with food so that you can be on top of your health and weight-loss goals!  
    It’s normal to eat too much once in a while. We all do. Actually, eating for emotional reasons is not as abnormal as most of us consider it. From the moment you are born, you are nurtured with food, rewarded with food, and continuously build a normal emotional connection with food. Unfortunately, for some of us, things often get out of control, and we slowly become compulsive overeaters. We use food as a tool to cope with negative as well as positive emotions or to deal with internal issues. Over time, it becomes frustrating, depressing, shameful, and guilt-tripping. The fact that we are eating so much isn’t just the thing that makes us feel so bad, but the fact that we cannot seem to stop doing something that seems so easy to stop.   
     I know you’ve been asking yourself:Why do I eat so much?Why do I find it so difficult to stop?Is it something I can break free from, or do I have to accept it and move on?What causes this problem?How can I overcome it once and for all? 
    This audiobook is all you need to find answers and a way out!
