S1:E17 Rediscovering Joy After Adversity

In this episode of the Flourishing After Adversity podcast, host Laura Mangum Broome explores the profound question: 'Will I ever feel joy again after loss or setbacks?'

She discusses common traps that keep people stuck in grief and provides five practical steps to begin reclaiming joy in daily life. Laura also introduces her free guide, 'Reframe the Spiral: 5 Quick Coping Strategies to Shift Negative Thoughts and Reclaim Your Day,' and encourages listeners to take actionable steps towards healing and growth.
