Whether you’re navigating loss, longing, or life turned upside down, my hope is that you’ll find comfort here—and the courage to believe that healing is still possible.

When life shatters and your heart aches, it’s easy to wonder where God is in the middle of it all. This 5-day guide will help you slow down, breathe, and begin to meet Him right where you are — no pretending, no rushing past the pain.
Hi, I’m Lea Turner, and I want to personally welcome you to to this space–a place where it’s okay to no to be okay.
Grief, trauma, and deep loss have a way of changing everything. They can leave us feeling untethered, unsure of how to move forward, or even if we’re allowed to feel what we feel. But here’s what I’ve learned: healing doesn’t come
from denying our emotions–it comes from giving ourselves the freedom to feel them in the presence of a God who understands.
Whether you’re here because you’re walking through your own valley or because you want to better support someone who is, my hope is that you will find encouragement, honesty, and a gentle reminder that healing is a journey–one
that doesn’t have to be taken alone.
You are seen. You are loved. I’m honored you’re here.

You don’t have to walk this road alone: Make space for grief
Do you have a desire to write your hard story, but don’t know where to begin? Let me help you.
What if feeling is the way forward?
For too long, we’ve been told to push past pain, to numb it, to wrap it in a Bible verse and move on. But what if God is not asking us to fix our emotions—but to feel them?
The Freedom to Feel is for the ones carrying grief, for the ones who have learned to be strong but long to be held. It’s for the ones asking why? And the ones who have stopped asking altogether.

Curious about what people are saying about the book? Check out these reviews from endorsements.
How do we manage hard emotions when the tidy life we wanted unravels in multiple losses? Lea’s reflections through her grief from a father’s death, a devastating house fire, a mother’s diagnosis, and a child’s addiction show us the breadth of heavy emotions while pointing to wholeness in Christ. The Freedom to Feel tackles the questions that come in ambiguous loss and cumulative grief and attests that even in pain, God breathes fresh hope.

The true beauty of this book is her unfiltered honesty about pain and loss. Grief often leads us to a place of isolation. Lea challenges us to embrace the freedom to feel and confront our wounds head-on, assuring us that we are not
alone in our struggles. She encourages readers to dispel the misconception that God abandons us in suffering, offering a humble perspective on find His goodness even in heartache. For anyone seeing a transformative exploration of faith, grace, and resilience in the face of grief, The Freedom to Feel is a compassionate guide and a testament to the enduring power of God’s love and healing that can emerge out of despair.

Permission. On every page, Lea Turner offers it. Permission to grieve. Permission to feel. Permission to live. She speaks to loss in a knowing way and approaches the many faces of grief as it sidles up to each of us time and time again. Lea is careful to remind us that there is no single path through pain. Rather, she takes us by the hand and whispers permission to us to feel–and heal
