As an adult child of mentally ill alcoholics, divorced, special needs mom, and former entrepreneur, I draw on more than twenty years of combined recovery, trauma therapy, and spiritual study to share my experience, strength, and hope with others. During our time together, I’ll share God-centered life lessons I’ve learned that can be applied to every area of life—especially when facing challenges and unexpected detours.

Among them:

· Accepting grief as a normal part of your process—even with positive changes.

· God’s ability and desire to comfort and guide us when we’re honest with him.

· God’s purpose in suffering, transforming us and our circumstances.

· Trusting that God can work good out of even the most difficult realities.

· Receiving God’s unconditional and healing love.

· Leveraging our experience to help others.

Time will be allotted for small group work and prayer.

Based on Isabella’s Bible study of the same name, this workshop will help you see how God can use even the most challenging life transitions and losses to work good for, in, and through you.

SPACE IS LIMITED. REGISTER EARLY.

I’m an inspirational speaker and writer for more than twenty books including Daily Guideposts for Recovery, One-Minute Daily Devotions, Pray a Word a Day, and a conference-approved Co-Dependents Anonymous text on healing the inner child. With over twenty years of recovery experience, I have developed and led workshops on therapeutic writing, discovering and using your spiritual gifts, codependency, contented singleness, overcoming religious trauma, and navigating challenging transitions with greater faith and hope.
