EP4: Faking it, Facing it, Making it: Hairstylist Marny Flanagan had a massive stroke. Now she’s cutting, coloring, and highlighting—one-handed—with fire, faith, and fierce belief in her comeback.

This one’s personal. This one’s powerful. And this one? It proves that showing up—messy, uncertain, and shaking a little—is still showing up.

Two years ago, Marny Flanagan was a high-vibe hairstylist and was working and teaching full-time. Then came the stroke. It took her speech, her balance, her right arm. But what it couldn’t touch? Her grit. Her humor. Her refusal to stop moving.

This week on Just Jax, you’ll hear how Marny re-taught her brain to move her body—and how she found her way back behind the chair, cutting, coloring and highlighting with tools in one hand, faith holding the other.

💬 Her motto?

“Sometimes pretending is practice for believing.”

And if that doesn’t stop you mid-scroll—I don’t know what will.

We talk mirror therapy, manifesting strength, why muscle memory is magic, and how to keep stacking your wins when life drops you to your knees. She didn’t “wait until it felt right”—she just kept going.

This episode will punch you in the heart and hug you on the way down.
