In this special episode of Finding the Upside, we spotlight the Revive and Thrive 2025 Event, held at the Archer Hotel in Florham Park this past June. Experience the power of storytelling in this dynamic, rapid-fire episode featuring courageous women who shared their transformation from writing a chapter in a collaborative book project. 

At the event, in just 7 minutes each, authors Cassandra Lennox, Tricia Speas, Lisa Cain, Angela Hoover, Misty Lyon, and Heather Romanski shared their deeply personal journeys—from writing to publishing their stories as part of a collaborative book project. In this episode, we give you a sneak peak into their talks. What began as a goal to become a published author quickly evolved into a powerful path to healing, confidence, connection, and clarity.

From breaking silence to breaking barriers, these women reveal how sharing your truth—on paper and out loud—can reshape your life. If you’ve ever thought about writing your story, this episode will inspire you to believe that not only is it possible… your story truly matters.
