What if five simple questions could help you heal, find peace, and reconnect with the people you love? In this heartwarming episode, Max welcomes Anne Jolles, creator of the Grace Trail, a process that started from personal chaos and became a powerful tool for emotional healing. Anne shares how growing up in an alcoholic home and losing both parents within six months led her to a breaking point, and ultimately to the creation of the Grace Trail: Gratitude, Release, Accept, Challenge, and Embrace. From walking the trail with her husband to supporting her son during his deployment in Afghanistan, Anne explains how these five questions helped her and others move forward in life with hope and purpose.
