Move Forward Stronger: A Dynamic Framework to Process Change, Loss, and Grief

Beautifully written book about the authors journey, one filled with triumph over adversity. I wanted to say she is a great storyteller, but that does not do Justice to her journey or her message. As soon as I finished this, I gave it to my wife who has not put it down yet.There are 14 points in the last chapter that provide a how to, when we might try to assist a friend who is stricken with grief. These were very helpful to see them in print, because I like many struggle to “do the right thing or say the right thing” in those situations. Thank you.My favorite line in the book was powerful, it read. “We are so focused on getting things done we forget we are human beings not human doings” message received and it is one I need to keep in the forefront of my mind.

Julia Nicholson has authored a recipe of how faith, hope and love, either singly or combined, can create a livable solution for oneself in a potential life-altering event. As she fittingly proposes, everyone has their “it” moment, and her diamond solution is marvelously laid out. I highly recommend this gut-wrenching read as at some point everyone will encounter a transformative event that will need to be resolved.

This is a book I have recommended to friends and family. The author writes about tragedy, extreme loss and abuse she has suffered personally and is very open in detailing her emotions. She writes in clear and easy to understand language providing great insight, hope and understanding. She is an inspiration to others in her ability to overcome her life's "challenges" and, like the title of the book, 'Move Forward Stronger'.

This book was amazing. I only put it down because my plane reached my destination. I was so moved that I purchased another 6 copies to give to friends that I thought would benefit from it. How Julia moved through each of her “its” to accomplish everything she did is a great motivation to others.

Fantastic work, well written and inspiring story! Julia has found a way to rise above the difficulties of life and thrive.

This book clearly helps me navigate my “it” moments when life gives challenging moments. Thank you!

Julia delivers a book full of hope and guidance for anyone going through a difficult time. By sharing her story, she has proven that we can all move forward stronger. I have recommended this book to family and friends because I have gained insights I have never thought of and know others can benefit from as well. Thank you, Julia, your “its” made you who are are and your ability to help others that are struggling is extraordinary.

Julia A. Nicholson’s Move Forward Stronger could not have come at a more critical time in my life. I was grieving several losses, facing an overwhelming medical odyssey, and feeling stuck in the negative emotions and defeating self-talk that come with human adversity. Julia’s own stories made me feel less alone, and her brilliant Diamond Framework of "Relive, Reflect, Reframe, Reconnect, and Release" gave me stability in the storm.Ever the skeptic about self-help books and reticent to accept advice from a stranger, I appreciated how Julia’s book focuses first on her own stories before she offers advice in a way that is uniquely kind, gentle, and even tentative. Trustworthy from the start and remarkably relatable, Julia Nicholson is the experienced guide who many of us have been looking for as we seek to "mine diamonds out of the rough stuff of life." A book that only she could have written but that anyone can benefit from, Julia Nicholson’s Move Forward Stronger is a must-read!Kate ColbertHigher-Education Consultant, Marketing Expert, and Acclaimed Author of "Think Like a Marketer" and "Commencement"
