The Joy Revolution is NOT about pretending to always be joyful, or trying to make everything perfect. It's about using joy as a guide to be more YOU. Coaches agree that clear goals are important, and that believing in yourself is key. But HOW do you believe in yourself if you don't start out that way? Some leaders say to follow your heart, some say to not let your emotions control you. When your head and your heart are working together, emotions become your superpower! Are you ready to untangle the knot of 'shoulds' in your head so you can be who you were born to be? Learn what your emotions tell you about where your autopilot brain is pointing. Move beyond willpower and grit, and learn true resilience: how to refuel and reprogram your brain so you can achieve great things joyfully! Louisa takes you step by step through the process. And she makes learning pleasurable by using the life (so far) of Hugh Jackman as a stellar example of how it all works. Change the world and have a blast doing it! "You tackle huge life lessons with humour and compassion, simplifying some of the complexities of life. The book is both honest and timely." Sonia Garrett, author of the Maddie Series "At first glance, this may look like a book about Hugh Jackman, but it's not. It's actually a handbook for the mompreneur of the 21st century. Louisa speaks to millions of women who are losing themselves trying to meet other people's expectations. In this book, she shows you, step-by-step, how to live your life from joy, and by doing so, improve your business, your relationship, your parenting, and your health.

This is a must read for any woman who wants it all and is ready to get it while putting on her own oxygen mask first." Dana Wilde, bestselling author of Train Your Brain and creator of The Celebrity Formula Louisa is a mom of three, a community activist, the leader of a team of 10,000+ direct sellers, a violinist, and a Hugh Jackman superfan.

Elizabeth Reed is a young Louisiana schoolteacher who dislikes soldiers. Harry Miller is a Wisconsin soldier who hates Louisiana. It only makes sense that they should meet and fall in love. Their story begins with a bulletan empty cartridge tossed from a truckload of soldiers. The note inside it will change the destinies of these two young people. In the midst of large-scale battles between the red and blue armies, Harry and Elizabeth are each fighting their own war with dark secrets from their pasts. They have nothing in common except mutual desires to escape these pasts. In spite of clashing at every turn, they run right into each others arms as they jointly learn that the hardest person to forgive is yourself. Within this clash of cultures lies the core message of A Spent Bullet. Rural Louisiana is never the same, and neither are the soldiers who learn about Louisiana mud, mosquitoes, and misery mixed with memorable Southern hospitality.
