Through gentle reflection and coaching insight, Christine Panka invites you to recognize the quiet growth already taking root in your life. You’ll walk away with a journaling prompt to help uncover the wisdom seeds planted in your own story—and encouragement to see how the hardest seasons can still bear fruit. Perfect for midlife women seeking hope, clarity, and connection after loss.
