How can struggle be turned into something beautiful?

For everyone who’s ever wanted their life to be different but feels like they’re stuck in gear, Own Your Life explores how we can leverage adversity and move from crisis, challenge, or loss to a place of thriving in our lives.

There is no easy way out of pain yet we often think something is wrong if we find ourselves revisiting the same old stories with no new ending. We’re told that if we just think happy thoughts, all will be well, and then feel like failures when it isn’t. How then do we transform our narratives and embrace our strengths and weaknesses?

In Own Your Life, Lise Porter, a licensed psychotherapist passionately asserts that when we fully own the ups and downs of our lives, our personal wounds actually become gifts that serve us and the world at large. Through thirty-five short narratives all dealing with specific themes and tools pertaining to transformation, Porter debunks stigmas associated with grief, loss, and trauma and shares insights that inform, inspire, and soothe- providing readers hope and teaching them how to metabolize adversity so they can tolerate, integrate, and transcend those experiences.

Do you ever feel like you’re in a period where things are slightly off kilter? Maybe your schedule or job or relationships feel off and you wish there was a chiropractor who could do an adjustment not just on your spine but on the bigger issues of life? Sometimes when things feel out of alignment, it’s a fabulous opportunity to adjust and recalibrate with your hopes, dreams and values. Let’s discover how!

Have you ever had a sudden and serious injury? One minute, you’re the epitome of health and the next you’re walking on crutches or spending the next year in doctors’ and physical therapists’ offices? When we’ve always been healthy and suddenly have serious limitations, this can dramatically impact our sense of self. How then do we seek support and rebuild our confidence in our bodies and life?

For many of us, the phone has become an extra appendage. It’s so tethered to us, it might as well be another body part but do we want this? Is technology robbing you of your serenity and sanity? Are you wanting to return to a more human and less phone driven existence? If so, find out strategies for putting down the phone!!!!!

Do you ever feel like you’re living inside of a video game in which all around you, you have to assess for real or imagined threats? While it’s normal to pay attention and be on alert for potential mishaps, large or small, we also want to enjoy life, particularly during times when things are okay. Often, if we’re feeling overly anxious or afraid when circumstances are safe, we need to check in with the part of ourselves that remembers being a child and/or a time when we may have experienced trauma. Discover ways to anchor and ground yourself during times of high stress.

We know we’re all moving too fast. We drive way over the speed limit, jump from task to task and never seem to have enough time. All of this frenetic movement can lead to accidents, poor decisions, illness, and a sense of malaise. How then do we slow our roll in a society that is operating at the speed of lightening?
