Choosing Joy Amidst Adversity
In this powerful episode of The Polished Podcast, host Jane Doerman sits down with Debora Grandison, founder of She Speaks From a Joyful Heart, LLC, to explore what it truly means to lead joyfully—even in the face of life’s toughest challenges.
Debora’s story is one of resilience, faith, and an intentional choice to embrace joy amidst adversity. As a heart disease and diabetes survivor, she has faced overwhelming struggles that could have easily derailed her path. Instead, Debora chose to root her identity in Christ and allow her trials to shape her purpose. From her journey of healing to her mission of inspiring others through writing, poetry, and speaking, Debora reminds us that joy isn’t the absence of hardship—it’s a decision we make, even when circumstances feel impossible.
If you’ve ever wondered how to find joy in your leadership journey or personal life, this episode will leave you inspired and equipped to lead boldly, faithfully, and joyfully. Tune in now and discover how to turn trials into triumphs—and why joy is always worth the fight.
