How Do You Keep Going When Life Completely Falls Apart?
What happens when life shatters emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and you have to rebuild from ground zero? In this deeply moving episode of Friday Feelings, Jenelle sits down with Leah Russo, a powerhouse of resilience, to unpack the messy, non-linear journey of surviving personal devastation.
From walking away from a 10-year marriage with no safety net to enduring five major spinal surgeries, Leah shares the raw truth of what it really takes to keep going when your world breaks wide open.
You’ll hear tactical ways to reclaim agency when everything feels out of your control, how to reframe fear as an opportunity, and why micro-steps matter more than motivation. Jenelle also unpacks the neuroscience behind thoughts and emotions, how what we believe literally rewires our brain and body for transformation.
If you’ve ever stood in the storm and wondered if you could survive, this episode is your reminder: Yes, you can.
