Some stories don't follow a straight line. They dip and rise and catch you off guard — and the ones that matter most are often the ones you never planned to tell. Ups, Downs & Silv er Linings is Taryn Lagonigro's deeply personal account of six years that reshaped everything she thought she knew about herself, her family, and what it means to truly show up for your life. What begins as a battle with debilitating depression and anxiety becomes a larger journey through some of the heaviest terrain a person can walk: family health crises, the loss of both her mother and her mother-in-law, a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis, and open-heart surgery for her youngest daughter, Rhea. And yet — this is not a book about hardship. It's a book about what you find when you look closely enough at the hardest days. Rooted in a gratitude practice that grew from something small and specific into something she carries in her bones, Taryn invites readers into the real moments: the hospital waiting rooms, the grief, the fear, and the unexpected beauty woven through all of it. Each chapter ends with an opportunity for reflection, making this as much a guide as it is a memoir. Ups, Downs & Silver Linings is for anyone who has sat inside a hard season and wondered if the good parts are still out there. They are. You just have to look for them. Show more
