                                  It’s incredible to see what Dr. Delphina is doing through JOY Options YouChoose. She’s constantly traveling, speaking, and helping people realize that the joy they’re searching for is already inside of them. The way she connects with others and empowers them to activate that inner joy is truly inspiring. Watching her impact lives across the country, from Texas to New York and beyond, motivates me to grow as an author and be more intentional in how I reach and speak to people.
