Carolyn CJ Jones On Overcoming Anger and Embracing Forgivene

Laura's guest this week is Carol CJ Jones, an inspirational speaker, forgiveness coach and talk radio show host. This week Laura and Carol will be talking about forgiveness, how to overcome anger, the story of why Carol stopped being a nurse and her journey to sobriety.

Carolyn CJ Jones is an award-winning author and photographer of the book Opening the Gates of the Heart: A Journey of Healing, an inspirational speaker, a forgiveness coach, and most recently, a radio talk show host of the program Transform Into Forgiveness. She is an expert in how to discover forgiveness and works with men and women to overcome their anger and resentment. She is uniquely qualified to speak and coach on this topic, as she, herself, has found forgiveness after 38 years of extreme anger and bitterness toward her parents for her upbringing.

Prior to her work as an author, speaker, and coach, Carolyn was a registered nurse for 27 years. In that capacity, she was able to put her caring and compassionate nature to work for others. Then, in the early 2000’s, Carolyn evolved from living on a sailboat for three years to landlubber, from married for 20 years to single, from working as a nurse to author, photographer, speaker, and coach, from drinking herself into oblivion every night for years to sober, and from living for three years in a van she gutted and rebuilt in cherrywood, to home owner.
