Jan “JOY” Hoath's Inspiring Journey: From Cancer Scare to Embracing Joy

Could the path to joy be through forgiveness and self-love? Stumbled upon an interesting point in my recent podcast discussion with Jan Hoath - the importance of forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness. It's not always easy, but it is a key ingredient in finding joy and healing. Jan shared her daily forgiveness practice, which I found quite inspiring. Seems worth exploring!   #Forgiveness #Podcast #Joy   In this podcast episode, the host interviews Jan Joy Hewitt, known as the "queen of joy."
