This week, we begin a special two-part series with my friend Shannon Avery Briggs, founder of Luminous Connections.
In part one, we dive into the idea of Resilient Presence—what it really means to show up fully in life, even when circumstances are hard. Shannon shares her journey through domestic violence, addiction in her family, and her cancer battle, but most of all, she shares how presence, faith, and community became her anchors through it all.

Why resilience isn’t about pushing harder, but choosing presence.
How authentic community lifts us without competition or judgment.
Ways to strengthen relationships and show up more fully for the people we love.
The role of faith and inner trust in navigating seasons of uncertainty.
This conversation will encourage you to slow down, lean into your support system, and choose to live with resilient presence in your own story.
