Her upcoming book, also titled "The Truth About Things That Suck", brings hope and encouragement to readers who are looking for a new perspective to help them get through the harder times we all experience in life.

In this book, Henderson will help you create the mindset where you can see possibilities instead of limitations.

Ultimately, Henderson's mission is to help others see how to live more productively and positively. Her mission is to inspire people to understand that when they take responsibility, stop making excuses and OWN their adversity, they become stronger people and true potential is revealed.
