Sonya Joy Mack has treated grief and illness for over fifteen years as a Physician Assistant. In the grief of her mother’s passing, Sonya created The LIVE JOY LIFE, an organization that empowers women through community, mindset, and the LIVE JOY principles, to live in the joy God intended by giving their pain a purpose. Her debut book “This Changes Everything: When Death No Longer Has the Final Say,”is a story of hope, humor, and healing for those who grieve, and encouragement to follow your God-given dreams. Her work can also be seen as a guest blog for “Find Your Harbor,” “The Well Des Moines,” “Des Moines Mom Collective,” and in the Guideposts compilation “In the Arms of Angels.” Sonya lives in Des Moines, Iowa with her husband and two spunky daughters, where she enjoys red wine, dark chocolate, big hugs, and living room dance parties. Sonya continues to advocate for a treatment and cure for ALS, the disease that took her mother’s life.Sonya would like to invite you to join her on Instagram@sonyajoymack, Facebook at www.facebook.com/SonyaJoyMackAuthor, or become a part of the LIVE JOY LIFE family at www.sonyajoymack.com.
