Dear Friends,

On September 1, I began writing my 40 Days of Hope Journal.
On September 2, I stepped back into the insurance industry — a field my abuser once took from me.

What started as a personal devotional became something divine.
Each page reflected the five steps of the Stronger than Espresso® healing model, and by the end I realized:

The 40 Days of Hope is Redefine Your Life.
It’s the next step of Stronger Women — a six-week rhythm of renewal.

☕ Step 1 — The Awakening · You Are Not Alone

Hope began as a whisper. Each morning I chose to believe that even under pressure, something strong could rise — like espresso pressed from darkness into light.

Lesson: Awakening is quiet courage: the moment you believe you still belong in God’s story.
Scripture: Hebrews 6:19-20 — “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul.”
Song: Tell Your Heart to Beat Again – Danny Gokey

🌱 Step 2 — Recognize Patterns · Awareness Restores Control

I faced the echoes of fear and fatigue. I saw how trauma lives in our systems, families, and faith communities.

Abuse is systemic, generational, and spiritual.

It hides in silence, cycles through generations, and seeks to dim the divine light within us.
That’s why hope matters — because hope is also systemic, generational, and spiritual.

Lesson: You cannot heal what you will not name. Awareness is freedom.
Scripture: Psalm 139 — “Search me, God, and know my heart.”
Song: Eye of the Tiger – Survivor

💔 Step 3 — Understand · Healing Mind, Body & Soul

Healing required integration. I practiced the Science of Hope:
1️⃣ Set goals 2️⃣ Create pathways 3️⃣ Build willpower.

Each day I aligned thoughts, body, and faith until I could feel peace again.

Lesson: When your mind, body, and spirit agree, healing begins.
Scripture: Romans 15:13 — “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Song: O Praise Him – David Crowder Band

💪 Step 4 — Build Self-Esteem · Reclaim Your Voice

Around week four, my confidence returned.
I wrote, “Broken crayons still color.”
I began to see that self-esteem isn’t pride — it’s stewardship.

Lesson: Speaking kindly to yourself is a holy act of restoration.
Scripture: Isaiah 49:23 — “Those who hope in Me will not be disappointed.”
Song: Brave – Nicole Nordeman

🌈 Step 5 — Redefine Your Life · Live in Hope

By Day 40, I saw it clearly: this journal wasn’t reflection — it was resurrection.
Redefining life means walking back into the spaces that once broke you — not as a victim, but as a vessel of light.

Lesson: Redefinition is resurrection. Hope doesn’t erase pain — it transforms it.
Scripture: 1 John 1:5-7 — “God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.”
Song: Free Bird – Lynyrd Skynyrd

🌻 What This Journey Means Now

Forty days — about six weeks — became a sacred rhythm.
It’s the perfect bridge for those who have completed Stronger than Espresso® and want to keep growing or for anyone navigating career change, grief, or burnout.

It’s a journey for survivors, professionals, and anyone in transition — a bridge from survival to stability, trauma to transformation.

Because abuse may be systemic, generational, and spiritual — but so is healing when hope leads the way.

🔥 From Crisis to Calling

Stronger than Espresso® heals the crisis.
The 40 Days of Hope builds the calling.

One restores safety; the other restores purpose.
Together they teach the truth: Hope is a skill — and it can be taught.

💬 Dr. Brooke’s Reflection

“When I began the Hope Journal on September 1, I didn’t realize I was living the next course.
I walked it day by day, and hope carried me through career change, fear, and faith.
Maybe that’s how every curriculum of healing is written — lived first, then taught.”

Hope is stronger than espresso.
