Nicole Zasowski
Ever find yourself asking:
What if my hope only leads to disappointment? What if I embrace joy only to have it ripped from my hands?
Author and marriage and family therapist Nicole Zasowski knows that it’s difficult to trust joy and find the courage to celebrate when you have endured seasons of disappointment and despair. Nicole reminds us that we can stay tethered to the hope in seasons of celebration, because even joyful days hold the learning, growth, and intimate encounters with Jesus that our hearts crave.
In her new book, What If It’s Wonderful? Nicole offers a new perspective. With a compelling psychological and spiritual case for the importance of embracing joy and celebration, even when it feels scary. She explains what the research says about celebration and we learn why embracing joy is not only possible, but essential; She explains how to be honest about our hesitancies and illuminate a path to less fear; confront toxic messages we may have received about joy and rather consider celebration as an avenue of growth.
Nicole and her husband, Jimmy, are the grateful parents of four young children. Her favorite place to be is looking for sea glass on the Connecticut shoreline, exploring a New England town or New York City neighborhood, or sitting in her front yard around a fire with her family, friends, and neighbors.
