Sometimes finding joy during a time of hardship can fill us with a guilt, or just feel impossible. But it does not need to be that way. You are worthy of joy and Gina and I discuss just that. Even when things are hard it is especially important to love on yourself.  I loved this conversation Gina as well as hearing her beautifully written & illustrated book!
