Has there ever been a moment that you felt compelled to share your story of struggle? Like maybe putting your testimony out into the world might have an incredible effect on others on a similar journey? By embracing our own experiences with turmoil and letting God be our guide, we’re often able to discover our true mission. 

Today, I’m honored to welcome my friend Elizabeth Boyette. Elizabeth is a woman of faith, a mother, a wonderful teacher, and a beautiful soul. She has an incredible, heart-touching story and I think you’ll leave today filled with hope, faith, and healing.

Elizabeth is kind enough to share with us her husband Cody’s struggle with cancer. She talks a bit about how it brought them closer, how their faith and belief in miracles allowed them to embrace the time they were given, and how her life has changed since his passing.

Tune in and listen to episode two of Cope and Land. Join Elizabeth and I as we discuss the trauma and grief of the unknown and how sharing your mission can be a source of healing. Find out how Elizabeth has created a new project in Cody’s honor and how it’s become part of her path to finding beauty through the ashes.

• About the struggle Elizabeth and her husband Cody endured (06:07)
• The moment Elizabeth became determined to be a fighter (09:30)

• A bit about the stages of grief that Elizabeth experienced (20:19)
• Why the idea of “choice” is so important to her (23:38)

Welcome to the Cope and Land podcast. I’m Jami-Laura Copeland and I’d love for you to join me for an awakening. Pull up a chair and sit with me as we have inspiring “Aha!” moment conversations about real life. I'm passionate about helping you find your strength through your struggle.

Today, I’d like to introduce myself and share a little bit about my life and the long, winding path I’ve  walked  to get here. I’m a single mama, a North Carolinian, and a successful entrepreneur - and I’d love for you to join me on this crazy journey we call life.

I surrendered my expectations and kicked over-functioning to the curb. I know a thing or two about love, loss, and overcoming emotional trauma and I want to use my experience to teach you. Together, we can inspire and empower even more people. 

Tune in and listen to the first episode of Cope and Land. Join me and together we’ll learn how to live a more passionate, positive, purposeful, peaceful, courageous and connected life. Let's create the life you can't wait to wake up to!

In this episode, you will learn:

• About the internal struggle I overcame before recording this very episode (01:58)
• A little about what brought me to this place in my life (08:01)
• About the life-altering trauma that took me decades to learn to heal from (10:34)
• How throwing up my arms and surrendering to expectations was just about the best thing I ever did! (14:31)
• That we can live our lives fully, without toxic coping mechanisms (16:37)
• About the “Aha!” moment that changed my life for the better (17:10)
