We all face adversity at some time in our lives. In 2019, with the onset of the Coronavirus Pandemic, no one was immune to the chaos that was about to ensue. Everyone, including Jodi O'Donnell Ames, who was working from home as a coach, was feeling a universal array of emotions: Worry. Shock. Isolation. Grief. Uncertainty.
Wanting to harness hope, Jodi started a podcast: Gratitude to Latitude, Stories of Hope and Resilience, to gather and celebrate the people and stories who have fueled her purpose and passion for personal growth and healing.
Hope Givers is the story of the author’s journey through caregiving, terminal illness, grief, and those hardest ubiquitous lessons of adult life. These stories are complimented by thought leaders, professionals and friends whose wisdom and perspectives bring resources and comfort to our toughest times.
Somewhere among these pages, you will find a moment of connection and insight. It's an indisputable truth that while life is complicated and difficult, hope is reserved for each and every one of us. Proof of hope is evident on every thoughtful page.
