Jodi Lanning knows what it means to fight for your life—literally. At 42, she woke up on a deflated air mattress inside a foreclosed home, with three loyal dogs by her side and a bottle-shaped hole in her spirit.

Years of childhood trauma, emotional pain, and addiction had nearly claimed her. But that morning, something shifted. A whisper inside said, “Become the person your dogs think you are.” That whisper sparked a journey of healing that would eventually become the backbone of Unshakable Grit—a deeply personal, raw, and hopeful book about resilience, healing, and rebuilding your life from the ashes.

Unshakable Grit is more than a memoir—it’s a companion for anyone navigating pain, trauma, or transformation. Rooted in real stories and hard-won insight, the book offers readers the language, validation, and courage they need to face their truth and start again.

Jodi doesn’t speak from theory—she speaks from the trenches. She writes with the vulnerability of someone who has lived the spiral of addiction and the strength of someone who found her way out, one shaky step at a time. Each chapter is an invitation to choose growth over despair, and grit over surrender.

Today, Jodi is a passionate advocate for emotional health, recovery, and the power of truth-telling. Unshakable Grit was born from the pages of her own recovery, written with the hope that others will see themselves in her story—and believe they are worth saving too.

Whether you’re battling your past or simply searching for what’s next, this book meets you in the mess and walks with you toward meaning. Jodi’s story isn’t just her own—it’s a mirror for anyone ready to find light after the dark.
