How the Worst Season of My Life Became the Start of My Mission
What if the biggest failure of your life was actually the beginning of something better?
In this deeply personal episode, Jody Bruns—host of Beyond the House and founder of the Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) certification—shares the raw story behind her own divorce, the fear that followed, and how rock bottom became the foundation for something stronger.
This episode isn’t just about failure—it’s about the clarity that comes from it.
It’s about rebuilding with strategy, walking through uncertainty with faith, and creating a future that serves others with meaning.
Whether you’re in the middle of a divorce, rebuilding your life, or trying to show up better for others in your work—this episode is for you.
