What if the path to Joy wasn’t about avoiding pain but walking through it with grace?

In this conversation, I sit down with author, speaker, and creator of the internationally recognized Grace Trail, Anne Jolles, to explore how we can turn struggle into strength, and uncertainty into grounded presence.

Anne shares the story behind the Grace Trail—a five-step process born in her kitchen during one of the hardest seasons of her life—and how it evolved into a tool for healing, resilience, and reflection used by thousands across the U.S. and Canada.

We talk about honouring your emotions, building a legacy and giving ourselves (and others) the one thing we all need more of – GRACE!

In this episode, we cover:

The origin story of the Grace Trail and how it started with five simple wordsWhat the “messy middle” of personal growth really looks likeWalking through grief, transition, and PTSD with curiosity and courageThe link between gratitude and resilienceHow grace became Anne’s most powerful leadership toolBuilding trails across the U.S. (and one in Canada!)What it means to “ask, believe, receive” when calling in possibility
