The Trifecta of Joy

Making choices aligned with your values is important. When I was writing The Trifecta of Joy, HELP yourself in a world of change, I felt honoured to be in a place where I could give back to an organization I care about. Wood’s Homes Youth Shelter provides a safe, caring, supportive resource for kids when home isn’t. This organization works with families to create stability. They focus on the safety and needs of youth that find themselves in challenging times. For that reason 2% of all sales of my book go to the shelter. To ensure that this safe space continues to be the support kids need. In a beautiful conversation with Shauna Cohen, Program Director of Wood’s Homes Lethbridge, we talk about the importance, impact, and share real stories about kids that have used the services of Wood’s Homes, including the youth shelter, and how it has impacted their lives.
