“A fundamental shift in the spiritual journey occurs when we realize the inherent gift that lies in speaking from the heart. In Fierce Joy: Choosing Brave over Perfect to Find My True Voice, Susie Caldwell Rinehart beautifully captures the spiritual freedom in coming to know what she once viewed as vulnerable is actually the most powerful: when we speak from the heart, we are rooted in truth—our own truth—when what we say, what we do and what we believe are in complete harmony. Susie’s story shows us how to transform pain into heart-centered instructions for living our best life.”

—Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley, author of The Gift of Crisis
