— When it feels like something’s missing
If it hurts but you can’t find healing
Just look up, know you are loved
Just look up; know you are loved
You, don’t have to prove yourself
Don’t try to be someone else
You don’t have to prove yourself
Don’t try to be someone else
You are loved!
~ partial lyrics to the song by Stars Go Dim
Valeria interviews Linda Bjork — She is the author of “Crushed: A Journey Through Depression, You Got This!: An Action Plan To Calm Worry, Fear, Anxiety, And Stress and many other titles.”
Linda Bjork is the founder and executive director of Hope for Healing non-profit charity and owner of Innovative Joy LLC. She has degrees from Brigham Young University and The University of the State of New York. She has written several non-fiction books. Her podcast, “Linda’s Corner,” and blog, “Two Good Things,” were created to inspire hope, increase joy, and motivate positive change. Linda’s personal mission is to empower people to become their best selves.
Linda defines herself as an overcomer. She has overcome depression, social anxiety, and trauma. She has overcome self-limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, low self-confidence, low self-esteem and more. For decades, Linda felt like an imposter, masquerading as someone worth loving and accepting when she “knew” that she wasn’t really good enough. She now lives a joyful, authentic, fulfilling life.
Linda is passionate about hope, healing, and personal transformation because she has lived it. She created Hope for Healing non-profit to help empower others to overcome as well. She has interviewed hundreds of experts and overcomers on Linda’s Corner Podcast so we can help even more people overcome every kind of adversity and life challenge.
