How to Stay in Your Personal Power When It Feels Like Everything is Falling Apart

Episode 25: What do you do when life doesn’t go as planned—when your car breaks down, plans fall through, and everything feels like it’s unraveling at once? In this episode, Dr. Lea opens up about navigating a season full of detours, disappointment, and unexpected challenges—and still choosing to stay grounded, grateful, and in alignment.

She unpacks what personal power really looks like—not perfection or pretending—but the internal strength to choose your response, protect your energy, and stay anchored in your values and faith.

You’ll hear real talk, a personal story, and a few mindset tools to help you keep moving, even when the road ahead is unclear.
