72 hours ago, I watched something happen that I’m still trying to wrap my head around. 🥹

Within the first 24 hours, Resilience Rising became an Amazon Bestseller in THREE categories. 🦅

Comment RISE to grab it! 📕

I stood in Times Square, looking up at my book on that billboard, and all I could think was…

🙏WOW GOD.

Because I know the woman I was when this story began.

I know the grief.
I know the divorce.
I know what it feels like to lose pieces of yourself in a life you never planned.

And September 22 will forever hold both pain and purpose for me. It was the day we chose to lay my mama to rest…and years later, the day this book launched into the world.

But maybe this isn’t just about my story.

Maybe it’s for the woman reading this who is still in the middle of hers.

The woman walking through grief. Divorce. Loss.
The woman who can’t see what God could possibly do with all these pieces yet.

Keep going. Keep looking UP. 🦅

You may not see the purpose yet. But your pain does not get the final word.

God is still writing.

And standing there in Times Square, I was reminded just how grateful I am that He is.

All glory to Him. ❤️

Reminder: Grab your copy.. For the next 24hrs only the companion digital workbook is only $17 that works beautifully with the book. 📕 So grab BOTH!

Read the book.
Do the work with the workbook.

Comment RISE to begin with the first step to remove the noise..

The room felt quiet but my mind was loud.
Shame. Fear. What will people think?

Who even am I now?

I wanted to fix everything overnight.
Change my body. Change my life. Prove
I was fine.

But here’s what I learned the hard way:

You don’t rebuild identity in chaos.
You regulate first.

In my own divorce season, I went back to foundations that always steadied me:

✨Faith before phone.
✨Movement as survival

One small win each day to focus on.

Not because I was strong.
But because I was trying to survive with dignity.

That’s where my rising began — not in success… but in survival.

If this is you right now, don’t reinvent yourself.
Don’t rush to “ pretend your ok”

⬇️Here’s what I would do first…

📲Stop the scroll first thing in the morning.

Or even Removing yourself (taking a break) from social media can remove the noise/drama

Clarity doesn’t come from choas.
You are not behind.
You are rebuilding.

This is why I created the Morning Reset.. to remove the noise and create one simple rhythm To a calmer start to each day.

You are not alone.
You are being rebuild To Rise Again! by @its_leahdeen

Comment RISE if you have walked into rooms full of women and feel like you were the one who failed at life too.

Divorce. Grief. Shame. Comparison.

I looked at everyone else’s “perfect” marriage and wondered what was wrong with me.

I almost let that shame keep me from writing this book.

📕 But God wasn’t finished with my story.

And now I’m opening my first box of books and getting messages from women who are finding themselves in these pages. 😭

I still have scars. But I don’t wear shame as my identity anymore.

Christ tells me who I am. Not my past.

And friend, He can rebuild what shame has torn down in you, too. 🤎🦅

Comment RISE and I’ll show you where to begin. 🦅

I used to walk into rooms feeling ashamed to be a divorced Christian.

Sometimes I’d leave, sit in my car, and cry.

But healing taught me this:⬇️
What happened to you does not get to name you.

Your identity is not built on who stayed, who left, or what others think.

It’s built in Christ.

And if you’re in that place right now, I don’t want you to just “move on.”

I want to help you rebuild—your thoughts, your rhythms, your confidence, and your identity in Christ.

I have a starting place for you.

For the next steps to breaking the comparison trap Comment RISE. Inside my new book I reveal the steps to breaking the chains.

Ever walked into a room feeling confident, only to start questioning yourself the moment you looked around?

I have .Then walked to my car and cried.

Or scrolled through social media and suddenly felt like your life wasn’t enough?

Comparison can steal your peace before you even realize it.

But friend, her story doesn’t make yours any less valuable.

God didn’t create you to become HER. 🤎

Next time comparison creeps in, ask yourself:
Is this Gods truth? Help me notice it when it takes hold. by @its_leahdeen

Comment “RISE” if you’re ready to stop believing the lies and start believing what God says about YOU. 🦅

I crossed 1/2 marathon finish lines, but what those pictures don’t show is the battle happening in my mind.

You’re not good enough. You’re not doing enough. If you slow down, you’ve failed.

And those lies didn’t stay on the racecourse.

They followed me through divorce, grief, and seasons when I questioned my worth.

I knew how to push through pain. But I didn’t know how to give myself grace.

God had to teach me that my identity wasn’t in what I accomplished, what I lost, or who walked away.

It was in HIM.

That’s the heart behind the story.

Because sometimes the greatest finish line you’ll ever cross isn’t marked by a medal.

It’s the day you stop letting your past define your future.

Keep looking up, friend. Your story isn’t over. ❤️🦅 by @its_leahdeen

Your womb is not your tomb. 🦅

Your tomb is where something ends.
Your womb is where something is being formed.

For a long time, I thought the dark seasons were burying me.

Now I can see God was rebuilding me there.

So if life feels dark right now, don’t mistake hidden work for an ending.

Comment RISE for the first steps to walking in freedom from guilt and shame.

🥯Because health was never supposed to mean being afraid of a bagel.

I spent years thinking being “healthy” meant more cardio, eating less and always trying to make my body smaller.

Now? I want strength. Energy. Longevity. And food freedom.

I can lift the weights, eat the protein, take care of my body… AND absolutely demolish a giant Tik Tok viral @libertybagelsny in NYC. 😂

That’s the kind of freedom I want for more women in this season of life.

If you’re done chasing skinny and ready to start chasing STRONG + FREE… you’re my kind of woman. 🦅

Comment RISE to the full story.

What if the chapter you’re most ashamed of isn’t the end of your story… but the setup for what God does next?

Shame will tell you to hide.
Guilt will tell you it’s too late.
Pain will convince you the best parts of your life are behind you.

But God is still writing.

Sometimes the very chapter you wanted to erase becomes the one He uses to help someone else keep going.

Your story is not over. 🤍

📕 I’m telling the story!! Comment RISE.

For years, I thought skinny meant healthy.

So I ran more. Ate less. Pushed harder. And praised myself when the number got smaller.

But somewhere along the way, taking care of my body became controlling my body.

And if I’m really willing to look at it through the lens of my faith, the “perfect image” I was chasing had started taking up a place in my life it was never meant to have.

Maybe that’s a form of idolatry we don’t talk about enough.

Because even something good—movement, discipline, nutrition—can be used in a way that hurts us.

Healing has looked different for me.

It’s learning that skinny isn’t the finish line. Stewardship is.

Moving because my body is a gift from God, not a problem I have to constantly fix.

I share more of this part of my story inside Resilience Rising—including how my relationship with fitness had to be rebuilt right alongside the rest of me.

🗽Sitting above New York holding a book filled with some of the hardest chapters of my life felt surreal.

Divorce. Grief. Loss. Fear. Starting over.

Seasons when I couldn’t see what God was doing and wondered how any of it could possibly be used for good.

But this view reminded me how different life looks when you can finally look back.

Not because every hard thing made sense.
Not because every prayer was answered the way I wanted.

But because God was faithful through every chapter.

The woman who once wondered if she would ever feel steady again was sitting above an entire city holding the story she almost never told.

I still don’t know how every chapter ahead will unfold.

But I know the One writing it.

And that has become enough. 🦅

Comment RISE to get the whole story.
