This is not just a story about hockey. It’s a story about surviving what no one sees.

NHL legend Theo Fleury opens up like never before in this unfiltered conversation about childhood sexual abuse, addiction, rage, suicidal ideation, and how trauma nearly took his life—more than once.

He talks about the silence he carried through his entire NHL career, the moment he put a gun in his mouth, and the night he finally surrendered. But this isn’t just a story of pain. It’s about purpose, truth, and radical healing.

Together we unravel:

·       Why unresolved trauma—not addiction—is the real epidemic

·       How anger became his armor—and the ice, his escape

·       What nearly killed him… and what saved his life

·       The truth about Hockey Canada, accountability, and the system that failed so many

·       Why sharing your story is the key to healing—for yourself and the world

Whether you’re a trauma survivor, a parent, a coach, a player, or someone silently suffering—this episode will change you. It’s not an easy listen. But it’s a necessary one.

Listen now. This one matters.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains sensitive content including discussions of sexual assault, power imbalance, and institutional silence.

Hockey culture is at a crossroads—and today, I’m no longer staying quiet.

In this raw and deeply personal solo episode, I speak candidly about the ongoing Hockey Canada sexual assault trial, the shame survivors carry, the text messages and recording being used against EM, and what it’s like to be a woman in a world that protects silence over safety.

As a survivor.
 As a mom.
 As someone who sat in a room with Hockey Canada to pitch a mental wellness program...
 I’m asking: What was I doing bringing something so sacred into a system that set aside money to silence victims?

This episode breaks down:

• Why consent isn’t just about “yes” or “no”—it’s about power, fear, and survival
• What no one tells you about the nervous system in the middle of trauma
• The damage of Hockey Canada’s National Equity Fund payouts
• What this trial says to every girl who loves this game
• And the question every parent must ask: What if this was your daughter?

This isn’t about canceling hockey. It’s about finally protecting everyone in it.

If you’ve ever felt scared, ashamed, or silenced—this one’s for you.

🌟 You are not alone in your healing journey. Keep going. 🌟

You know that breakup you should be over by now—but you're still spiraling in the “what ifs,” checking their story views, and wondering why you can't let go?
In this soul-shaking episode, I sit down with breakup coach Lucy Price to unpack why letting go is so hard, why “just move on” is absolute garbage advice, and how to actually heal your heart—for real this time.

We talk:

• Why you still think about your ex even when you know it wasn’t right
• How to stop healing just to "win" the breakup
• The science behind the dopamine cycle of “Did they see my story?”
• What it really takes to rebuild confidence after rejection
• And why your breakup might just be your breakthrough

If you’ve ever stayed too long, lost yourself in someone else, or felt like starting over is impossible—this one’s for you.

This one's for the strong girls who are bone tired.
For the moms holding it together while their world falls apart.
For the ones who create emotional safety for everyone else—but forget how to give it to themselves.

In this honest and unfiltered solo episode, Jessalynn opens up about what it really feels like to be everyone’s rock while quietly breaking. She shares her daughter’s recent heartbreak, the trauma it’s resurfaced from her own childhood, and the weight of trying to hold a family together through it all.

She also unpacks:

• The wound of believing you have to suffer to be worthy
• What it means to finally stop caring what others think
• The power of not chasing down gossip or trying to control the narrative
• Why your healing doesn’t have to look perfect
• And how it’s okay—more than okay—to fall apart

This is your permission slip to stop proving, stop pretending, and let yourself be human. You’re allowed to break. You’re allowed to be held. And you never had to earn that in the first place.

In this deeply moving episode of Invisible Scars, Jessalynn sits down with grief expert and widowed mom coach, Krista St-Germain, to unravel the complex and often misunderstood experience of grief. From the sudden, tragic loss of her husband to building a powerful coaching practice that helps others navigate their own pain, Krista shares how grief is not just about death—it’s about any loss that disrupts our sense of self and safety.

Together, Jessalynn and Krista discuss why the five stages of grief don’t apply to most people, how trauma and grief live in our bodies, and why healing is not about "getting over it"—but learning to live alongside the pain. This conversation will speak to anyone who has felt stuck in their grief, questioned their healing, or struggled with feeling like their pain wasn’t "big enough" to matter.

You’ll learn about tools like tapping, the importance of nervous system regulation, and how connection and community can play a transformative role in the healing process. Whether you’re grieving a person, a past, or a part of yourself—you are not alone, and this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and hopeful.

This episode is one of the most personal I’ve ever shared.Recently, my daughter and I walked through something incredibly painful in a space that was supposed to be safe. 

When I chose to advocate for her, the response I received from someone in the mental health field was shocking—and honestly, heartbreaking.In this episode, I read that message aloud (without naming names), and share the truth behind it—not to create conflict, but to start a larger conversation about boundaries, community, emotional safety, and what it really means to stand in integrity.
This is not about blame or cancel culture. This is about holding space for truth—especially when it’s hard. Especially when our kids are watching.If you’ve ever spoken up for your child…

 If you’ve ever been told you're “too much”…
 If you've ever felt dismissed, silenced, or shamed for standing your ground…This episode is for you.

⚠️ Content warning: emotional invalidation, power imbalance, and boundary-crossing from a trusted figure.

This isn’t just a story. It’s a wake-up call.

Grief changes everything. It reshapes who we are, how we move through the world, and the way we see life itself. In this powerful episode, Valarie Allen shares her deeply personal journey of loss—losing her father unexpectedly, and then, just three years later, facing the unimaginable pain of losing her son, Z, to an overdose. But in the wake of that loss, she found a way to honor them—through art, storytelling, and creating spaces where grief can exist without shame.

Valarie opens up about:

• The way grief unraveled her life and forced her to examine everything
• How art became a tool for healing and connection
• The creation of Shooting Star, an exhibit honoring artists who never got to share their work
• Her son’s journey with addiction, and what she wishes people truly understood about it
• The raw, unfiltered truth about navigating loss, self-forgiveness, and rebuilding after devastation

This conversation is honest, heart-wrenching, and deeply healing. Whether you’ve lost someone, love someone battling addiction, or are simply searching for meaning in pain, this episode will meet you where you are.

What happens when the thing you worked so hard to build suddenly doesn’t feel like you anymore? That’s exactly where I found myself with Invisible Scars. After months of feeling disconnected, getting sick, and questioning everything, I was forced to pause—and in that pause, I found clarity.

In this raw, honest solo episode, I’m opening up about:
 ✔️ The unexpected relief I felt stepping away from my podcast
 ✔️ Why bigger isn’t always better (and how chasing numbers can lead you astray)
 ✔️ The struggle between ambition and exhaustion—and why I kept telling myself I was lazy
 ✔️ My complicated relationship with money, financial independence, and finally believing I deserve to be paid for my work
✔️ The power of trusting your gut, setting boundaries, and giving yourself permission to pivot

If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, unsure whether to push forward or let go, this episode is for you. You’re not alone. You’re not failing. You’re evolving.

Listen now—and if this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Former high school and college football star JB Copeland joins Jessalynn for an emotional and eye-opening conversation about inadequacy, addiction, and healing. JB opens up about his core wound—feeling inadequate—and how it drove him to numb his pain with drugs. He shares how his path to healing began by confronting his past, gaining acceptance from his father and family, and understanding who he truly is. Together, they dive into the messiness of breaking generational trauma cycles, navigating family relationships, and learning the difference between compassion and forgiveness. JB’s powerful story reminds us that healing is messy but always worth it.
