Your Way Back to Happy

How to Turn the Pain of Your Past into a Future of Freedom, Purpose, and Peace

About the Book

Is it possible you’re missing out on your best life because of the pain of your past? Unresolved trauma doesn’t stay in your personal life. It quietly shapes your decisions, your leadership, and your success. Trauma is now part of the mainstream conversation, but the business world has mostly ignored its impact. Until now.

In Your Way Back to Happy, award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, and executive coach Janelle Bruland tells her deeply personal story of overcoming undiagnosed PTSD. She also lays out a practical roadmap for turning pain into unstoppable momentum. Janelle isn’t a therapist or a self-help guru. She built Management Services Northwest from a start-up in her living room into a multi-state industry leader, and she brings that real-world experience to healing in the context of leadership and business.

Through relatable storytelling and actionable strategies, you’ll learn how to:

  • Identify and release the invisible barriers holding you back
  • Reclaim your energy, confidence, and mental clarity
  • Step into a life of true freedom, purpose, and peace, on your terms
