One of the questions I’ve been thinking about lately is this:

How do we encourage ourselves when life becomes difficult?

Not when everything is going well.

Not when we feel confident and energized.

But when we’re carrying pain, disappointment, uncertainty, exhaustion, Grief, or adversity.

This Friday on PLAN TO BE YOUR BEST® Live, I’ll be joined by Jennifer Rogers.

Jennifer is a two-time international best-selling author, speaker, podcast host, Reiki Master, energy worker, and empowerment coach whose life story reflects resilience, healing, and transformation. Through her podcast, Affirm That SHIT – Some How I Thrived, she creates space for honest conversations about overcoming adversity and finding a way forward.

During our conversation, I look forward to exploring questions such as:

• How has Jennifer encouraged herself through life’s hardest seasons?

• What helped her move forward when circumstances could have held her back?

• What role has hope played in her journey?

• How do we continue growing through adversity without losing ourselves?

• What does resilience look like in everyday life?

• How can our resilience strengthen and encourage others?

As many of you know, one of the themes I’ve been reflecting on lately is that resilience is not merely something we possess.

It’s something we practice.

And often, that practice includes learning how to encourage ourselves one moment at a time.

I hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a thoughtful and encouraging conversation.
