My guest this week is Violet Detre, a Happiness Advocate, speaker, 2X best-selling author and Christian Life Coach.
From a young age, Violet was stunted by health issues, unfortunate circumstances and life’s challenges. She struggled with severe depression and multiple suicide attempts, wondering if lasting joy & peace were truly attainable. Through her journey of recovery, Violet learned that it was possible to not just survive the day-to-day but to achieve personal fulfillment and thrive through the Power of JOY!
Your host is Janet Sandberg, a spiritual badass with over 35 years of metaphysical expertise. She’s a soul interpreter, reiki master teacher, divine channel, intuitive life coach, and author who helps you tap into your soul's wisdom in order to rebuild your life with meaning and purpose following major life transitions, loss, or suicidal ideation.
In this episode, Violet shares her darkest moments, including a near-fatal suicide attempt 13 years ago, and the healing journey that followed. From childhood molestation by her great uncle to the pressures of perfectionism and the struggle to find her identity post-graduation, Violet's story is a testament to the power of unconditional love and self-acceptance. She discusses the importance of joy and self-care, the transformative power of faith, and practical strategies for cultivating happiness.
