When set backs in life becomes a setup. Enjoying the Journey while going through hell!

When set backs in life becomes a setup. Enjoying the Journey while going through hell!

Hey Everyone! 

In today's episode of "dis"Abled Black Chick, we're talking about enjoying life even when it SUCKS! 

We will all face to face with challenging moments in our lives on multiple occasions. Sometimes we feel we are losing complete control and cannot find an escape. In my personal opinion,  and as difficult as this sounds, we need to develop a sense of enjoying the journey while going through the trenches. To learn about yourself while amid the pain. 

Let's explore that a little more in today's episode. 

Let's chat! Email me at theedisabaledchick@gmail.com if you want to continue the conversation or have any questions!
