Episode 158. Turning Grief into Purpose: The Heart Behind the non-profit 17 Strong with Guest Holly Teixeira
Hi friends!
I'm so excited to share today's episode with you for many reasons.
First and foremost, I know deep in my bones that hearing someone's story and how they've gotten through their darkest hours helps birth more courage and perseverance in us as we navigate our own struggles.
If you're in the middle of a tough season, I hope today's guest, Holly Teixeira, encourages you.
I've admired her from afar for a long time--our whole community watched them walk through the unimaginable (losing a child to cancer)
Holly's sharing the journey of her son Ryan's battle with cancer and the beautiful legacy he left behind.
She's also sharing the story behind the creation of 17 Strong, a nonprofit dedicated to providing "victory trips" for young adult cancer survivors.
Sometimes, when walking 'through it,' the days can be long, but remember your story matters.
You matter!
Holly reminds us that there's beauty to be found even in the darkest of times.
17 Strong was Ryan's idea that came about in a hospital--the story is incredible how it all came about, and now his family is living out for him.
Key Takeaways:
• Grief and purpose can coexist, even in our darkest moments
• The importance of taking life one day at a time when facing overwhelming challenges
• How helping others can bring healing and meaning to our own pain
• The power of choosing joy, even when we don't feel it
• Finding strength in faith and community during times of suffering
No matter what you are walking through, I hope this episode reminds you that you are not alone in your struggles.
Quote to Remember:
"I choose joy every day. I don't feel that joy, but I have to choose it." - Holly Teixeira
