There's a cost to being a certain kind of strong.

When it comes to difficult circumstances, we’ve all heard the platitudes: “No pain, no gain.” “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” But if we spend our lives trying to be “the strong one,” we become exhausted, burned-out, and disconnected from our truest selves.

What if it were different? Could there be a different way to be strong? Could strength mean more than pushing on and pushing through pain, bearing every heavy burden on our own? What if, instead, true strength were more like the tide: soft and bold, fierce and gentle, moving together as one powerful force?

In Strong like Water, author and trauma therapist Aundi Kolber offers a framework for true flourishing. With each page, you’ll:

  • Learn how your nervous system shapes your experience so that we can move through pain instead of being stuck in it.
  • Explore various practices, rhythms, and resources to support you in challenging circumstances with compassion and hope.
  • Discover how to internalize connection, love, and safety―empowering you with greater resilience.

A different, more expansive way of healing, wholeness, and possibly―especially―strength is possible. We were made to be strong like water.

I was crying within the first 10 minutes and not sure I stopped.

Such a deep, yet assessable, look at what it means to “work through” the trauma you and I have experience. Littered with helpful tips and resources while giving psychological insight and Scriptural support. I loved the author’s first work “Try Softer” but this might be better… it was definitely what I needed.

I love this book and cannot recommend it enough. It takes all of my clinical and theoretical leanings and blends them together beautifully with a sincere, lived-out faith. If you can't go to therapy, but need it, start here. I just finished Kolber's follow-up book, Strong Like Water, and think it is a phenomenal follow-up to this one, providing many uncomplicated practices to help calm your nervous system.

This book brings along with it the gift of clarity. Aundi’s work came highly recommended, and did not disappoint. I will buy this book for many people as it’s simplistic, yet very deep truths are clearly understood and easily implemented. An excellent roadmap for healing.

Very excited to share this book!

After passing through 5 years of trauma as an adult of spousal abandonment, facing the music, defamation, vocational treachery, single fatherhood, financial entanglement….

I floundered and wandered and toiled through adversity from every angle I could imagine with a Pandora’s box I never thought would be unleashed. Kept my eyes on Jesus and trusted him every time to hold me and carry me. Your two books have been the most life-changing and validating books I’ve ever read. I’ve pushed through the adversity with all that you’ve shared, navigating in a dark sea without stars, leaning on Jesus and trusting how he was developing my heart, character and body. Climbing mountains, martial arts, going on wanders, meeting friends in their trauma and hardships while being present and patient with myself.

Guided by Try Softer
Validated by Strong Like Water

Now I only wait for the day I can pull the mountain out of the ground as Jesus restores a bountiful life from the ashes that I’ve come from.

Thank you Aundi🫡

Validated, knowing restoration will come.
