Finding Joy in the Journey

Healing the heart, redeeming the past, and becoming, who God intended

When life doesn’t unfold as expected, joy can feel distant and faith can feel fragile. In Finding Joy in the Journey, Chandler shares her deeply personal story of injury, identity loss, heartbreak, and the slow work of healing—inviting readers into the raw, in-between places where God often feels silent.

In Finding Joy in the Journey, Chandler shares a deeply honest memoir of faith shaped through injury, identity loss, heartbreak, and seasons of waiting where God felt painfully silent. Through vivid storytelling and reflective insight, she invites readers into the raw middle places of life; where healing is slow, answers are scarce, and trust feels fragile.
 
Rather than offering quick fixes or polished platitudes, Chandler gently reframes joy; not as fleeting happiness or emotional ease, but as a sustaining presence rooted in God’s faithfulness. She writes for the woman who loves Jesus yet feels weary, disoriented, or unsure how to move forward without minimizing her pain.
 
Woven with Scripture, prayer, and thoughtful reflection, Finding Joy in the Journey reminds readers that God meets us not after we’ve healed, but while we’re still hurting. Even when the road ahead is unclear, joy can rise—not because life is easy, but because God is near.
Finding Joy in the Journey by Chandler Bergeron

"Chandler Bergeron has done an outstanding job of inviting the reader into her very private emotions and motivations in her debut book, Finding Joy in the Journey. If you are a runner, or another athlete, you will find here a voice that understands the sacrifices, challenges, and joys of sport. As one who has little interest in athletics, my eyes have been opened to the motivations runners have. She describes her emotions while running so transparently that I was really drawn in. And then she did the same with her off-the-field life. She clearly explains how she found joy in the journey, and how her readers can too. It was a privilege to provide line editing and copyediting for this book."

– Libby Gontarz: freelance editor, educational trainer, curriculum designer and writer, and a licensed evangelist missionary with the Church of God in Christ.

"This book powerfully encourages readers to trust that God is faithfully at work, and He brings beauty from ashes in every part of our journey. What once felt lost or meaningless is shown to be the very ground where God reminds us nothing is ever wasted with Him!"

– Jayme Elizabeth: Host of the She Speaks Life Podcast and Christian Women’s Ministry Leader 

"Chandler writes with poetic vulnerability and spiritual authority. Through powerful imagery of running, surrender, and divine belonging, she invites readers into a deeply personal journey of grace—where God meets us not at a finish line, but mid-stride, breathless and broken. Her words remind us that we are loved without earning and strengthened without striving. This book is a testimony of freedom, healing, and the kind of Father’s love that lifts us to soar. Chandler is not written merely to be read—it is a lived testimony, meant to be felt, embraced, and experienced."

– Lakosha Wade: Author | Nurse Practitioner | Woman of Faith

"I found Finding Joy in the Journey to be an open invitation to discover the destination of living a life grounded in God’s grace.Chandler beautifully weaves scripture, storytelling, and the art of surrender to craft a message offering reassurance that God always meets us in the middle of our mess, broken and breathless, regardless of circumstance. Through each surrendered moment of her story, I found myself tethered to the truth of living fully alive, pursuing purpose, and truly finding joy in the journey with Jesus… well done and well written!"

– Robin Gerblick: Award-winning Author 2025 Nonfiction Book of the Year, Giving Up Grace… A Spiritual Rebranding of the Soul Founder/Visionary @ www.exoduswomensretreat.com

“With the warmth of a friend and wisdom from the ages, Chandler invites the reader into her story with vulnerability and depth. Not only does Chandler convey profound biblical truth, she incorporates in her storytelling a mix of physical, mental and spiritual takeaways adding immense value… many times I was brought to tears reading her words, and relating to her beautiful words. This book is an invitation to genuine joy, transformation and grace, wherever you may be on your journey.”

– Francie Winslow: Speaker and host of the Female by Design Podcast, where she helps women rediscover God’s design for intimacy and spiritual wholeness.

How my books connect to my coaching

Why I Write and Coach

I write and coach because I believe women deserve spaces where they feel seen, supported, understood, and strengthened. My heart is to offer tools and support that help women heal emotionally, grow spiritually, gain confidence in their bodies, and build a life rooted in God’s presence and peace.

Through story, Scripture, and practical guidance, my goal is to accompany women on their journey toward wholeness.

My writing and coaching are part of the same mission. The book tells my story. The companion journal helps apply that story to your own life. Coaching allows me to walk alongside you personally.

Through coaching, I help women with:

  • Emotional healing
  • Faith and spiritual growth
  • Mindset and identity work
  • Healthy boundaries and relationships
  • Running coaching and training plans
  • Strength training support
  • Nutrition and habit-building guidance

The same themes that appear in Finding Joy in the Journey show up in my coaching approach: honesty, faith, compassion, connection, and growth. Whether we work on spiritual rhythms, emotional health, physical strength, or life transitions, the heart behind it is the same—helping you grow into the woman God created you to be.
