Joanne provides a fresh perspective on the "Positivity" strength, emphasizing that it's not just about blind optimism but finding hope even in tough situations.

Balancing self-care and positivity is key; Joanne shares how she focuses on simple joys to maintain a positive outlook during challenges.

Tune in to gain insights into how positivity can be a multi-dimensional force in both personal and professional spheres. About Joanne Machin: Based out of the Pacific Northwest, Joanne Machin is an author, bookseller, freelance editor, virtual assistant, and multi-passionate entrepreneur. She writes contemporary adult romance novels that are sometimes chaotic but are altogether lots of fun--words many people would also use to describe her, actually. In her free time, Joanne drinks boba, plays video games and Magic the Gathering, and amasses large quantities of stationery and books, which, admittedly, she collects more than she reads or uses... She is married to a very nice man, with whom she co-parents a very naughty Welsh terrier named Oliver.

1. Input
2. Futuristic
3. Maximizer
4. Activator
