Hello Happy People,

In this episode of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt – Book Talk Podcast, I sit down with Alison Beder Solway, author of The Miles We Run, for an emotional and deeply moving conversation. Alison opens up about her personal journey through the challenges, heartbreaks, and triumphs of surrogacy in her quest to build a family.

Our discussion goes beyond the pages of her book, exploring the resilience it takes to keep going when the road ahead feels uncertain, the emotional weight of navigating infertility, and the transformative power of hope and love.

Alison Beder Solway is a Canadian author, fitness coach, and founder of ABS Fitness. A passionate advocate for women’s health and resilience, she shares her life in Toronto with her husband and children. She is also a marathon runner, completing the New York City Marathon as part of her inspiring journey.

Whether you’ve faced similar struggles or simply want to hear an inspiring story of determination and the unshakable bonds of family, this episode will leave you both moved and uplifted.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
