Summary

When someone has walked through a painful circumstance, none of us would blame them for having a negative outlook. Life has been hard, so it’s easy to assume that life will continue to be hard. That’s only natural, right? But LeAnne Lavender defies that. She and her husband Derek have walked through some terrible circumstances. But instead of being grim and pessimistic, LeAnne has a different approach. She sits down with Davey to share Derek’s and her story, and how she continually chooses optimism in the face of unimaginable challenges. Learn more about your ad choices.
