Tonya: Don't give anyone room to disrespect your joy.
Show Notes

Connect and Rise with Tonya Bradley, runner (and current participant in ARC Active Resolute Connected @activeresoluteconnected), Lupus patient and Lupus awareness advocate, health equity advocate and racial justice advocate. Tonya shares her inspiring story of being diagnosed with Lupus and hitting rock-bottom with her health.  She explains how running has helped her physical and mental health and encourages us all to look for the joy in each day. She describes the value of self care and how it allows us to seek happiness in our lives. We can prioritize our own happiness by refusing to give anyone room to disrespect our joy. Tonya shares that “sewing and reaping do not occur in the sane season.” There’s a reason for the season you’re in. Be gentle with yourself. Give yourself room to fail,  thereby giving yourself room to grow.
