Getting unexpectedly let go at work. Struggling through a painful divorce. Losing a loved one. Reluctantly riding a roller coaster of bad luck.

These are some of the most common setbacks that life sometimes dishes out… whether we want them or not. 

But, while it doesn’t always feel like it in the moment, these setbacks can have a brighter side. 

Setbacks can build resilience, strengthen our character, and become springboards for changes that redirect our lives. Often in profound ways.  

Today, Ginni welcomes Amy Shoenthal. Not only is Amy a part of Ginni’s vibrant neighborhood community in New York (#sunnysideup), but she’s also an established author and a marketing pro.
