On this episode of Tune Up Your Warrior, Jenny sits down with her friend, longtime journalist and community builder Sam Laprade for a raw and courageous conversation about emotional abuse, reclaiming your identity, and what it takes to rebuild a life on your own terms.
Sam opens up about the disconnect between who she was publicly and the pain she endured privately—and how finding her voice changed everything.
This episode is about more than leaving a difficult chapter. It’s about rediscovering yourself, leading with authenticity, and inspiring change from a place of truth.
Released on International Forgiveness Day, this story is a powerful reminder: forgiveness isn’t always about others. Sometimes, it’s the first step in setting yourself free.
