Having navigated a botched surgery that almost resulted in death and a spouse who transitioned to a woman, M. Shannon Hernandez has determined that there is one undeniable, non-negotiable in life: JOY.
And yet, most people can't identify where their own joy stems from, let alone create a consistent daily practice around it. Joy results from taking a deep dive into your personal lifestyle values, which provide the unshakable foundation for all decision making-from grocery shopping to purchasing a ticket to the latest must-attend networking event, to growing a successful business-and even the way to spend quality time with your significant other.
