Who stole your joy?
“WE WROTE THIS BOOK BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO READ IT.”
I’m feeling joyful as my daughter (Hannah Joy) collaborate on our first book together, How to Find Your Joy and Purpose: Four Easy Steps to Discover A Job You Want And Live the Life You Love.
This is a particularly significant project for us, as you’ll discover in the book. We’re writing it at a time of great personal upheaval and turmoil. Over an abruptly short period of time, we realized that we were working so hard on helping others’ we had neglected our own self-care. Guess what? We burned out!
In Hannah’s case, she fried out and had a complete break-down. Happily, she’s moving through it now and is on the upside of recovery.
Whether you are burned out, stressed out, blissed-out or checked out, the question is always the same: How to Find Your Joy and Purpose and keep it?
We’re writing this book to share the things that have helped us. We wrote to heal ourselves and in the process we discovered how extraordinarily powerful everyday joy is in finding and following your purpose, and how simple and effective joy can be in healing so many of the things facing humanity: depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship cyclones, and lack of meaning and purpose—abhorrent rates of suicide and addiction and more.
And it’s working! Our joy is back!
If you’d love to:
- Relieve stress and quit worrying easily
- Create more happiness, peace, and joy
- Keep your brain and body strong and ready for joyfully, focused work
- Rescue and enrich your relationships
- Increase your success, health, and happiness with a few simple steps
You’ll find the answers in How to Find Your Joy and Purpose: Four Easy Steps to Discover A Job You Want And Live the Life You Love.

“What an incredibly informative read. I really love how Cassandra has different viewpoints that allow the reader to come to their own conclusions.
Your Beautiful Mind: Control Alcohol and Love Life More is a non-biased informative read based on various facts, research and readings and I feel it is a book that I could pick up time and time again, and that whatever is relevant to me at that time or moment in my life is what I’ll be able to take away when I pick it up.
I loved that information was backed up by science and offered rhetorical questions and facts to get the reader thinking, rather than preaching or telling the reader how to do something.
I loved the perception that it is more helpful to heal the root of our cause to drink, rather than try to blindly control alcohol consumption, and that each reader will feel empowered to choose their own method for sobriety rather than feeling like they have to stick to rules. (Who likes rules anyway!?).
Very empowering, honest and thought-provoking.”
~ Founder Soberly
