About the event
What happens when the life you carefully planned suddenly changes?
Whether you're facing loss, disappointment, illness, unexpected detours, or simply the challenges of everyday life, you still have a choice. You can merely survive... or you can learn to find joy anyway.
Join author, poet, and speaker Elisa Fortise Christensen for an uplifting evening filled with honest storytelling, laughter, heartfelt reflection, and practical wisdom for building resilience when life doesn't go according to plan.
Drawing from her own remarkable journey and the lessons woven throughout her books, Elisa explores how gratitude, perspective, purpose, and even humor can become powerful companions through life's greatest challenges.
This isn't about pretending everything is okay.
It's about discovering that joy isn't the absence of hardship—it's the courage to keep choosing hope in the midst of it.
