I found Nicole Zasowski through her book, What If It’s Wonderful? Release Your Fears, Choose Joy, and Find Courage to Celebrate and it hit me in some really deep places. I didn’t expect a book about celebration would have me uncovering such unexpected things I need to process through in my life.

In her book and this podcast episode, Nicole shares her story of having five miscarriages and how those struggles caused her to stop hoping and just constantly live in fear and dread of the unknown. She shares candidly what it looked like to lose hope and feel so overwhelmed with discouragement. She then shares practical suggestions for how to pursue joy and find the courage to hope again.

Whether you are in a dark pit of despair right now or just would love to experience more joy and celebration and hope in your life, I think this episode will really encourage you!
