How do YOU respond to tragedy, struggles and difficulties? Many creatives spend their entire lives hiding their pain, pretending they aren't affected by trauma - only to fall apart later. But there's a better way.

Jessica Danel, podcaster and author of "Bucket List of a Redneck Girl", decided not to let her childhood struggles, near business failures and moments of doubt and fear go to waste. Instead, she shares her messy moments openly in her books and podcasts - and it's led to a new kind of creative freedom.

In this episode, Jessica opens up about the moments that should have stopped her in her tracks on the way to accomplishing her bucket list of goals, and reveals why radical honesty is the only way to overcome life's struggles to achieve what God has for you.

Press play to hear some incredible stories and find out how you can turn your hidden struggles into powerful lessons that others can learn from.
