She will teach you how to have courage, as her style of writing is engaging, witty and heartfelt; this book is hard to put down. She tells about the agony and defeat of an emotional rollercoaster relationship that had so many different dynamics which tailspinned into a whirlwind of destruction. You'll gain insight into the life of a young, innocent woman swept into the luxurious lifestyle of being a professional athlete's wife. Joan describes her life story as if the story was a part of a Monday night football game but different players. This is her "Playbook of Life".
Joan shares with you how to take control of your emotions so they won't take control over you. This book helps you become transparent with your story without feeling you're alone. Joan guides you step-by-step to lead you to the wisdom that has always been within you. She shares what happens when all of this falls apart and you realize that the dreams you bought into are unfulfilling and robbing you of your power and true destiny. Many people are overwhelmed by their emotions and cannot make decisions with clarity and certainty. Joan talks about how fear can numb you and cause you to stay in denial to the point where you disassociate yourself from what has actually happened to you. Once anxiety kicks in, then you really do not want to face it, and you run from the incident. Joan brings attention to our subconscious mind and how it stores our feelings, so if we continue being fearful and living in denial, more fear and denial are what the universe will produce in our lives. This book will help you really think about what your challenges are in your relationship and assist you to reflect on how you can work through those challenges.
