Summary

Prepare to redefine love, purpose, and resilience and discover profound truths that promise to shake your very core and elevate your journey to the next level… She lost a baby, found out her dad wasn't her real dad, focus on stories and not so much on her accolades and whats in the book. ALEXIS JONES is the epitome of inspiration, joy, kindness, love, and audacity. She is a celebrated AUTHOR, ACTIVIST, TV ICON, and MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER and has been honored with many accolades, including the 2018 JEFFERSON AWARD, joining the ranks of past recipients that have included Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Steve Jobs, and Oprah Winfrey. Her latest book, JOY HUNTER, lays the foundation for this heart-to-heart conversation, unraveling the most intimate lessons she's uncovered in her journey as we cover many of the things she’s learned about herself that you can apply to your life too, including… Performance-Based Love: The truth behind seeking love through achievements. Adversity as a Reset Button: Transforming challenges into new beginnings. Freeing Your Authentic Self: Letting go of society's expectations and perceptions. Mastering Emotional Responses: Understanding and processing intense life reactions. Braving New Dreams: The courage to evolve when your vision for life shifts. The Pursuit of Purpose: Unearthing the profound 'why' of our existence. Embracing Heartaches: Deciphering the deeper meaning behind life's pain. Avoiding Tragedy Traps: Navigating life without lingering on the 'what ifs'. Alexis's soul-searching questions might just be the ones you've been yearning to ask in your life. SELF-DISCOVERY is not always easy, but as you will hear from Alexis, the answers you find make all those struggles worthwhile.
