Publisher's Summary

Life is messy: no matter how we try to control our lives, unpredictable and difficult things happen to us all. 

Disappointment, heartbreak and anxiety are painful. But in this powerful, immersive audio experience, Mary Hoang reveals the hidden gold that lies in your darkness, showing you how exploring your shadows can give you a new sense of direction for the future. 

Does anxiety rule you? Do you sometimes feel like you’re not doing this whole life thing right? Do you find it hard to understand what self-love and self-worth really mean? 

If you’re reading this, you’re ready for change: to create space in your life for what really matters to you. 

Darkness Is Golden is your invitation to value and accept yourself – to trust your inner voice, break unhelpful habits and live a life on your own terms. 

Dealing with the mind is complex. Mary Hoang digs up the golden nuggets she has discovered over a decade in the therapy room, and combines them with unique audio experiences framed by her research in music psychology. You will learn how to build healthier relationships, make space for possibilities and find your wisdom. 

This book is an opportunity to open your heart, let go of past pain and find your way home – back to yourself. 

It’s time to dance with your darkness. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Worth it, if you’re ready.

Works for me. Many concepts I was already familiar with, but the author’s meditations, exercises and pacing helped me go deeper.

It’s not a Sunday stroll, but since I’d been searching for a new approach, it was worth the uncomfortable work.

My dad died 1 year ago. So there was that. But it helped me work through older issues too.

I appreciated the author’s sharing. It made it all feel more authentic.

So, I highly recommend… if you’re ready to do the work.

Well written and read, brilliant listen

Mary has a wonderful way with words, this book sounds like caring wisdom from a loving aunt. Mary is honest and humble, and provides great insights into why our brains do what they do, and very practical ways to try to remedy some of the less desirable habits we pick up in our formative years.
