Jeff Norman on The Healing Power of Laughter: Gratitude, Forgiveness, Love, and Living Fully
https://www.drjeffnorman.com/

Host Tanya Roundy interviews chiropractic physician and neuropathy-clinic founder Jeff Norman about his book The Healing Power of Laughter: Four Weeks to Better Health, Stronger Relationships, and a Culture of Positivity. Jeff shares how a catastrophic 2002 car accident, kidney failure, dialysis, and a transplant reshaped his priorities and led him to use humor to cope with fear, pain, and uncertainty. He explains the book’s focus on how laughter changes physiology and helps open the door to gratitude, forgiveness, and love, and he outlines his four-week “Power of Laughter” program used with patients, including reported life changes. Jeff also discusses his writing journey, self-publishing after COVID disrupted traditional publishing, and where to find signed copies and related resources on his websites.

Host Tanya interviews author and former teacher/biblical counselor Dejah Edwards, who shares how she transitioned from education to writing faith-based books as her ministry to bring hope and healing. Dejah discusses her background, including surviving two abusive marriages, her daughter’s traumatic medical ordeal, and a kidnapping attempt, and explains how these experiences shaped her nonfiction titles (including Honor Yourself: You’re Highly Favored and Loved, Mama I Want to Be Like You, and God’s Lent Child) and fiction (Shattered Innocence: A Journey to Restoration, The Christmas Welcome Sign, and her newest, Heartbreak Is Not My Home). They talk about forgiveness, praying for prodigals, restoring trafficking victims, the value of reading classics and creativity in teaching writing, and where to buy her books via Amazon or directly through her website and email.
