## Resource

Step into a down to earth, real-life conversation with Jenna and Brad Ballard, visionary leaders, conscious partners, and co-founders of Ascension Leadership Academy, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Together, they share a powerful love story rooted in resilience, embodiment, and choosing growth over comfort. Jenna opens up about her near-death accident at seventeen, a coma that became a profound awakening, and how reclaiming the words "I am" reshaped her identity, health, and purpose. From navigating diabetes, trauma, and self-worth, to becoming a celebrity trainer, transformational coach, artist and creator, her journey reveals the power of perseverance and self-belief. Brad shares his own awakening, moving from corporate success that left him empty to choosing passion, joy, and purpose. He reflects on recognizing misery as a signal, learning to slow down, and committing to a life where fulfillment, play, and integrity lead the way. There was an exquisite balance of fun talking about fast cars with Brad and delighting in Jenna's extraordinary voice, mixed with vulnerability as they revealed how their relationship was built slowly and consciously, through consistency, communication, and patience. From texting for months before meeting, to navigating parenthood, business partnership, health crises, near-divorce moments, and recommitting to intimacy, they model what it looks like to be two whole people choosing each other again and again. We also talk about: Turning trauma and hardship into purpose Building love from wholeness, not need Conscious communication and love languages Masculine and feminine balance in partnership Navigating marriage, business, and parenting together Radical self-responsibility and nervous system awareness…
