Have you ever felt stuck? If so, you are not alone. As a 36-year-old wife, mother, and corporate executive, Dena Jansen's life looked successful by society's standards. But she found herself at an intersection--stranded at a real-life crossroads in her life.
Over a matter of years, darkness and doubt slowly crept in, leaving her unsure and unsettled in her life, marriage, and career. And after stalling out multiple times and nearly wrecking everything, she finally grabbed hold of a life-saving truth:
She had a choice to make. She could stay stuck, or she could try and find new roads that would lead to the peace and joy she was looking for.
With a glimmer of hope, Dena embraced the gifts of curiosity and grace and began a journey of self-discovery. And she chose to believe in a new truth:
She was meant for more and could no longer settle.
In Road to Hope, Dena invites you to join her as she wanders the roads she traveled and take anything you need from her story to help you in yours. She shares about personal and professional transitions that led her on a detour through painful memories of childhood, adolescence, and years as a new mom. Her story includes heart-wrenching realities, like growing up in a home with alcoholism, battling postpartum depression, deaths of loved ones, and a near extramarital affair. But there are also everyday moments of hope and joy including letters to famous people, a solo road trip, a sabbatical from work, and an adventure at a self-love retreat.
With authenticity, grace, and humor, she shares how she grew from a woman who doubted her path to one who is confident and ready for the next adventure. And she wants you to experience a similar shift. And more than that, she believes you can.
