Don’t give up!

Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual. When seasons of suffering make their way into your normal routines it can feel impossible to have joy. Maybe you were trained to “get over it” or dismiss your feelings because “someone else probably has it worse.” These comments don’t encourage strength but create a chasm between you and joy. To bridge the gap you must embrace the connection between suffering and joy. Once you do, you will learn to experience joy in a way that is impossible to contain and easy to share. From cancer, betrayal, abandonment, and grief, Vanessa will share with you the equation to increase your joy quotient in life’s most complicated seasons.

Are you prepared to choose hope, take a leap of faith, and make room for joy no matter what’s going on in your life? Say yes! This journey won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.
