Episode 35 - How Storytelling Helps You Heal and Re-Emerge
Thu Sep 11 2025
Episode Summary
This week, Jeanetta opens up about the past four months of unexpected challenges, including three significant mountain bike crashes that left her with broken ribs and a fractured pinky. Rather than hiding away, she shares what it’s looked like to slow down, process, and find presence in the midst of disruption.
In this vulnerable solo episode, Jeanetta reflects on how life’s interruptions can become invitations — to pause, to feel, and to reconnect with your body’s wisdom. She explores what it means to show up honestly, even when things aren’t polished or perfect, and how storytelling helps us move through pain toward meaning.
In this episode you’ll hear:
* Jeanetta’s honest account of three consecutive bike crashes and their physical/emotional impact
* How slowing down created space for presence and self-reflection
* Why hiding can sometimes be protective — and how to re-emerge with intention
* The power of storytelling as a tool for healing, connection, and marketing differently
* An invitation to honor your own seasons of setback, rest, and renewal
If you’ve been navigating a hard season, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone — and that your body, your story, and your timing are all worthy of respect.
