You are ready to live your life with JOY!
I believe it’s possible to cultivate joy through life’s toughest chapters. Whether you’re navigating divorce, trauma, transition, or grief – you can emerge on the other side with resilience, strength, and the energy to write the best next chapter of your life.
It’s possible and you can do it. But you don’t need to do it alone.
I know because I’ve been there.
After suffering a life changing trauma and divorce, my life felt like it completely fell apart. It felt like I lost everything…But what happened, wasn’t the end… it was actually the beginning. A beautiful beginning. It was in this season of life that Cultivating Joy became my anchor and my hope. I realized that I could be hurt, sad, bitter, and a victim for the rest of my life. Or, I could use this fertile ground I was on to plant seeds of goodness in this season of grief. It was through this hard work that I fell in love with my life again.
What does Cultivating Joy Mean?
Cultivating Joy became my anchor and hope in my own journey through trauma and divorce.
Cultivating is a verb, an action, that means to prepare, to break up in preparation for planting, to acquire or develop.
Joy is a hard-fought, deep peace, knowing that in times of goodness or grief that life is still good. And you’re still the author of the next chapter.
Trauma and divorce is often a time when everything feels chaotic, in turmoil, things are broken up. There is no greater time to take advantage of the fertile soil and begin the process of cultivating joy than this time. Together we will answer the question – What do I need to do to care for the part of me that’s been injured? We will care for your soul, heal your wounds, ignite the sparks of hope, begin to dream again, and help you emerge as the person you want to be.
I want to help YOU cultivate your life of joy, too.
Let’s do this work together. I’ve been where you are and have hope for your life to be the life you dream it to be – full of purpose, clarity, and JOY. You can do this. I can help.
