Dawn Taylor welcomes Joy Stone, best-selling author and applied positive psychology certified coach, to the podcast to talk about overcoming the past and what it means to not be broken. Joy openly shares her story and the things she has found useful to healing beyond her childhood.
Joy Stone experienced a challenging childhood born to homeless and addiction-riddled parents. She grew up in total poverty and experienced all abuse of many kinds. She shares that she never felt safe or secure or that she had a voice of her own. With her father gone and her mother only halfways in her life, she also ended up her little brother’s primary caregiver at age ten.
Dawn and Joy dive into how Joy came to terms with her childhood. Joy learned through a teacher that viewing herself as broken, like the world suggests, was stopping her healing and she explains how she then realized there was more right with her than wrong. Her message is that “fixing” the parts of yourself you think are broken is preventing you from developing the parts of you that are whole. Joy’s message is one of learning yourself and accepting that you are whole and complete no matter what you’ve come through.

I felt like my life had been squandered a little bit in the season of having babies and people needing me. But after working with Dawn, I realize I have the potential for greatness. It was the first time in my life that I realized I actually have the potential to do amazing things.

I had been in therapy since I was 16, over 20 years of going to therapy before I met Dawn. But in 14-15 months of working with her, my brain has essentially rewired itself. How I view my friends, myself, and God has changed. But you have to buy in, and be willing to work through the tough stuff to get to the other side.
I Get It -
Life is Hard!
Like many of my clients, I’ve also felt ugly, useless, and forgotten.
I’ve gone through depression, molestation, and a brain aneurysm.
It took me years to understand what I had gone through and how to use my past to support others in conquering their fears and self talk.
That’s why I’ve condensed what I’ve learned into strategies to help you overcome your own stuff efficiently.
With multiple different certificates, training courses, and a whole lot of courage and stubbornness, I decided that if I could heal myself I could help others heal too.
If you’re ready to take back control of your life so that you can live with more fulfillment and peace, then contact The Taylor Way today!
