When trauma happens, grief hits, or disappointment occurs, it's easy to feel miserable. It can seem like the place to set up shop. But it's no way to live. After my daughter was murdered, I was tempted to stay there, but I refused.

I hope this episode inspires you to refuse to give misery your company! If it resonates, be sure to leave positive review and share with others who can use a dose of encouragement. 💜
