Choosing Joy Through Life's Storms

Have you ever just felt stuck in life? Like you are circling the same vicious cycles over and over again? You have this laundry list of things you want to accomplish in your life, most of them are just simple tasks like getting the daily dishes done and then other times they are bigger like writing a book or starting a business. Regardless of how big or daunting your list is, it just feels outright impossible to get a handle on it for some reason. Like life's lemons are just getting thrown at you left and right and you just need things to pause long enough for you to actually catch some of those darn lemons to make that lemonade with. I can relate.

In this book, I want to share with you how I tackled these incredibly hard topics. I spent almost 20 years in depression and battled some major lows that could have destroyed me. My heart and desire is to be completely open, honest, and relatable as I unearth my life story and show you exactly how I overcame. I will give you practical ways to help you master your mind and conquer these demons for good.

I am a southern girl born and raised in Arkansas. I now live in Oklahoma with my husband, Mark and our four children. I am passionate about sharing my story to help others who have battled depression, amidst a whole slew of other ailments including stress, anxiety, loneliness, fear, abandonment, and mental illness. I will also share how to cope through grief when others walk out of your life. I promise to be raw to my core as I write my story. In it you will find humor, deep real talk, faith and hope as you walk with me through some of my most painful memories from my past, all while finding truth alongside me.
