“As a licensed professional counselor, I found Joan’s book to be one that shows raw emotion at the deepest level and how to get to the other side of it as we struggle to understand what has happened in our life. It motivates us to look and go beyond what we thought we could do and achieve not only to get ourselves back healthy, but also to move forward and succeed. It is a must read for anyone going through the loss of a loved one or a divorce. It is quite inspirational. I think a lot of people will be helped by this story.” – Dorothy Howat, MS, CRC, LPC
“What a great read. I came away with some great ideas that I’d like to implement in my own life. Even though it touches on sadness in the author’s life, it’s a “feel good” kind of book.” – E. Wagner
“This is a book of overcoming, empowerment, and growth. Beautifully and clearly written, with practical ideas for application to overcome difficult times in life, but it is also how we should all strive to live regardless of our circumstances. This is a book to read again and again and one I plan to share.” – Christi Gardner
“I found Joan’s book to be dynamic and motivating. Her passion to empower others to reach their potential is obvious and compelling. Well done Joan!” – Renae Nelson
“Joan’s book was both comforting and inspirational. I lost my son at age 23 and have not found comfort in anything I’ve read as I did with this book. I felt comforted by the personal stories she shared, and especially the song she shared, ‘Heal the Wound, but Leave the Scar’. I was inspired how she found the way to make everything better in her life and how she still had the strength to help others through her book and coaching. In one way or another, ‘Reaching Your Potential’ will help anyone that reads it.” – Terri Bieber

“Part 1 is a must read for anyone who has lost someone along with the feelings, changes in behavior and relationships with the emotions that accompany that. Your bring to light so many key things as well as how to handle the emotions. It’s also a must read for anyone who’s struggled through a divorce. You connect with the emotions incredibly. You were able to explain in less than 20 pages somethings that took me 2 years to figure out, and I still wasn’t sure until I read your book. Congratulations on a great book Joan!” – Donovan Seinko
“Reaching your Potential” is a great book!!! Great job Joan! I thought I would whip through this book in 3 hours. But, this 83 page book has taken me a week to really take in. I have highlights and underlinings all over this book. I loved the personal application questions after each section. It really made me intentional about what I want to create for my thriving future. It was great to be reminded that it’s more about who you become in the process vs. the end result. We are what we repeatedly do…that is so true. If we want different things in our lives, we have to be willing to start doing things differently. It all starts with one small action, and small, consistent changes add up over time to a new healthy habit!! Thanks for sharing your heart. You make a difference.” – Laura Brown
“Reaching your Potential” is a practical and inspirational read.

This book will grab your attention while making you feel empowered.” – Amazon reader

She offers tools to help take you from your current state of just surviving to realizing your dreams you may have felt were unachievable. This is one book you will want to give to others you care about.” – Herman
