"From the beginning, we recognized a need to choose. Our first choice was: would we let our circumstances defeat us or would we choose to make the most of our situation?" - Diana Derringer

Diana Derringer is a writer and international ministry worker. She is passionate about sharing the message of hope and joy that is possible when people turn to Jesus in faith. Diana has written Christian radio dramas that are broadcast in numerous languages around the world.

This is Diana Derringer's story...

I'm Diana Derringer, and I love sharing the message of hope that's possible when people turn to Jesus in faith. I've been through some tough times in my life – my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor and later suffered a stroke, heart attack, and fall with a severe brain injury – but through it all, I've learned to rely on God's never-changing nature, not my ever-changing emotions. I would encourage others who are going through tough times to do the same – to embrace God's love and promises, even when they can't see or feel them. Trust that God will carry you through every difficulty and that He can use even the worst circumstances to bring good into your life.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. How Diana Derringer chose joy after her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor and then experienced a stroke, heart attack, and fall with a severe brain injury
2. How Diana's writing has opened doors for her to reach more people than she could have through international mission trips
3. How God can use the worst of our circumstances to bring good out of them

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a rut, trying to do everything on your own and not getting the results you want? You're not alone. So many entrepreneurs and multi-passionate people have been told that they need to "hustle" and "grind". Tereza did what she was told and ended up in an abusive marriage with a job she did not enjoy...until she made powerful choices.

"I learned from a very, very wise person that if every day you wake up and you start the day better and better, and it's just 1% every little bit every day, that's great."

Tereza Roux is a wine and food lover, hospitality professional, and self-proclaimed "positivity warrior" who has turned her struggles into strength. A self-proclaimed "multipassionate" person, Tereza has a wide range of interests and is always looking for new ways to add value to her life and the lives of others.

This is Tereza Roux's story...

Tereza Roux struggled with finding her passion and feeling fulfilled in her career. She went through a divorce and experienced many challenges in her life. However, she found strength in her community and in herself. Today, she is grateful for her struggles and uses them as lessons to help others.

In this week's episode featuring Tereza Roux and I cover:
1. The importance of community and finding support from those who will lift you up.
2. The power of positive thinking and using affirmative statements to change your mindset.
3. The importance of being honest with yourself and others in order to create authentic relationships.

One of the things she is most passionate about is helping others find what lights them up. After losing her nephew, Ashley struggled to deal with the grief. She eventually realized that she needed to find a different way to cope. This led her to the Kindness Community, which has helped her be more open and vulnerable. Self-care is important to Ashley. She enjoys taking long showers, listening to music, and looking at the clouds. She also believes that everyone is creative and that we should all take the time to create for the sake of creating.

"I'm passionate about being passionate, which I don't know if that's a thing that I realized until I got around, like, some fanatics and was magnetized by just how they were lit up. So finding ways to light other people up or helping them find what lights them up."

Chapter Summaries:
[00:00:12] - Ashley is happy to be here.

[00:00:30] - Ashley lost her baby nephew at nine months. Ashley is passionate about being passionate and helping others find what lights them up. Ashley was overwhelmed with grief after her nephew passed away. Ashley has channeled her grief into being more empathetic to people who are grieving.

[00:08:01] - After the loss of her nephew, she went to a counselor and started journaling and talking to people who were also grieving to help her deal with her grief. She believes that being there for each other and being in community with each other helps to heal the grief.

[00:10:33] - This experience has empowered her to be more open and vulnerable. She used to be too shy to talk about things that were bothering her, but now she feels more confident. Community is important, and focusing on the things that we have in common is also important.

[00:12:41] - After the death of her nephew, she had to find a new way to connect with people. She co-hosts the Kindness Community on Twitter with Dan Roeder and she believes that the present is the most important thing that we have.

[00:16:06] - Self-care is whatever makes you feel good and keeps your body moving and moving in the best way possible. Self-care looks different to different people and we need to find what works for us. For her, prayer, aromatherapy, and candles are her main sources of self-care. She also takes walks in nature and looks at the sky.

[00:19:30] - There's a misunderstanding about what creativity is and how it's defined. Many people say they're not creative, but they're missing out. Creativity is not about being good at something. It's about creating something for the sake of creating. I believe we are all creative beings because we were made in the image of a creator.

[00:21:45] - Ruth is grateful for the conversation she had with Ashley. Ashley is a Pride design designer. She is on Twitter at @APrideDesigns and on Instagram and her website is https:AshleyPride.com. Ashley looks forward to continuing the conversation on Twitter.
