A conversation with Jeanette DuBois on overcoming adversity and embracing life

Join Michele Jones and her special guest Jeanette DuBois as they discuss how they met, their Italy experience, and the lessons they took away from the trip. They also discuss the lessons that unfolded for them when they got home and how those continue to show up in their lives. During her journey, she discovered this incredible connection to herself and fell back in love with the person she had become. She realized it was an opportunity to let go of the stress, fears, and worries that piled up over the last couple of years, the pandemic, social justice, and global issues. She also realized that many of her lessons were unpacked when she got home over time. The takeaways are: Get back in touch with yourself and love yourself Realize that fear is just an emotion and that you can move past it The lessons were about acceptance – accepting herself and her life and the world around her Embracing excitement about life in spite of the difficult times we experience. (especially grief and the loss of loved ones) Allow yourself to get back into life and live it! You can still start today, it's not too late. Links On FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeanette.e.dubois.
