Do you feel powerless about what’s going on in the world? This Dear Gabby is for you. This very special episode features my talk with a Polish psychologist who’s determined to help people stay spiritually resilient while witnessing the war in Ukraine. I was honored to answer her questions about how to be the light in times of darkness—whether that darkness is a catastrophic war, a personal loss or a breakup. This episode is packed with powerful techniques for keeping hope alive in yourself and sharing that hope with others.   The following are helpful resources and books I mention in the episode:    Joanna Chmura is a psychologist who names courage as her speciality. Through her individual and group counseling services—and through her Story to Tell podcast—Joanna gives people the support they need to lead courageous lives. You can learn more about my extraordinary new friend here.    In this episode of Dear Gabby, I reference two of my books. The Universe Has Your Back is about transforming fear into faith, and it couldn’t be more relevant for today’s topic. https://bit.ly/3B9lALA   Happy Days: The Guided Path from Trauma to Profound Freedom and Inner Peace is for anyone who’s ready to do some deeper work to liberate themselves from trauma. This book delves more into the eight qualities of Self that I touch upon in this episode. It’s also available as an audiobook from Audible. https://bit.ly/3Q5R0Hh Want even more support?
