October is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this feature feels especially meaningful to me. 💜
I’m honored to be featured in Texas Border Business, where I had the opportunity to share more of the story behind Joy Flows From A Heart In Harmony With God.
This conversation is about more than a book.
It is about what happens when we look strong on the outside but may still be carrying grief, exhaustion, pain, or emotional weight on the inside.
One of the truths I share in Joy Flows is this:
“The fact that you are still standing is not proof that you are well.”
Mental health deserves honest conversation, compassion, support, and space for healing.
For me, faith became part of that healing journey, and Joy Flows was born from learning how to face what was happening within instead of only continuing to function through it.
As we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, my hope is that this story encourages someone to check in with themselves, ask for support when needed, and remember that healing is not weakness.
I’m deeply grateful to Texas Border Business for helping bring this conversation forward, and to Mija Media House Publishing for helping carry this message into the world.
