Overview

Life After Heartbreak: 13 inspiring examples to encourage and inspire you

Simply Amazing Women continues celebrity radio host K. C. Armstrong's theme of human resiliency. Each of his13 interviews showcases a woman who courageously faced severe challenges and ultimately used the experience for the benefit of others. It's not just about being a survivor; it's about surviving to ease the path of people facing their own life challenges: addiction, discrimination, poverty, violence, and more.

Armstrong (formerly of the Howard Stern Show) uses his own background of self-destruction and poor choices to weave together excerpts of aired interviews taken from his WMAP Radio station. The diverse chapters and Armstrong's commentary offer examples of hope, compassion and forgiveness. Armstrong himself has turned his life around and has dedicated his remaining years to encouraging others to make whatever adjustments are necessary to obtain their own redemption, understanding, and inner peace. The upbeat message is one of belief in one's own power to handle whatever life brings-with dignity and resolve.

Following his best-seller Simply Amazing, Special Author's Edition (2019) Simply Amazing Women is published to celebrate and honor our mothers and grandmothers: women of strength, passion, and wisdom.

Preface

I’m writing this preface in the midst of a global pandemic-coronavirus (COVID-19).

This is a first for all of us, and we’re each choosing our own response— fear, panic, stockpiling goods we may or may not need, and also spending time with our families, helping and sharing with our neighbors, calling friends we haven’t checked in with for a while.

Now that I’m getting older, and knowing that nobody is guaranteed tomorrow, I find a lesson or realization in everything. Every story in this book, just like yours and mine, includes what seems to be a personal pandemic that one has to somehow get through.

WMAP’s Simply Amazing series began before this new world-wide emergency, but the need for positive examples is always with us. I hope that by the time you read this, the current crisis will be past, but I know heartache and severe challenges are always present.

I’ve been told that Simply Amazing Special Author’s Edition has raised people from disappointment and despair to new beginnings. I hope Simply Amazing Women will likewise uplift you and remind you of the strength of the individual. We can meet this new challenge and each one that comes our way. Be inspired by these Amazing Women and what their best qualities say about all of us.
