She survived. She healed. Then she had to learn how to live as the woman she had become.
Joye carried the responsibility. Happy learned how to smile through what hurt. LONE REIGN discovered the strength to stand, even when standing alone was never the plan.
In I Became Her, Joye T. Tisdale opens another deeply personal chapter of her life and reflects on the experiences that shaped the woman she is today. From family and motherhood to military redirection, grief, education, entrepreneurship, creativity, faith, and sisterhood, Joye shares what it means to keep becoming when life no longer looks
like the plan you once had.
This is not the story of a woman who had everything figured out.
It is the story of a woman who kept moving.
Through the three names that mark her journey-Joye, Happy, and LONE REIGN-she realizes that becoming was never about turning into someone different. It was about finally allowing every version of herself to meet.
For the woman who has ever wondered if she is too old, too tired, too far behind, or too deep into her story to begin again, I Became Her is a reminder:
God is still writing.
Your story is not over.
You are still becoming.
