Work With Jodi
Jodi Lanning is a speaker, author, and creator of Unshakable GRIT and Let go.be.
She helps people recognize the small moments where they are about to overthink, react, shut down, prove, defend, or give their power away, and teaches them how to pause before making things worse.
Her work is rooted in lived experience.
At 42, Jodi woke up on a deflated air mattress in a foreclosed home with three loyal dogs beside her and a life that had fallen apart.
Years of childhood trauma, emotional pain, and alcoholism had taken her to a place she never thought she would come back from.
But in that moment, she heard something inside her whisper:
Become the person your dogs think you are.
That moment didn’t fix everything.
But it started something.
The truth.
Sobriety.
Rebuilding a life she had nearly destroyed.
What she discovered along the way was this:
Real change does not begin in the big dramatic moments.
It begins in the small everyday ones.
The comment that lands wrong.
The email you want to fire back.
The silence that makes you assume the worst.
The moment you feel the urge to prove, defend, control, or shut down.
That is where Let go.be began.
Not as a brand.
Not as a slogan.
But as something she had to live.
The pause created space between the trigger and the reaction.
One second to not say the thing.
Not send the message.
Not keep feeding the story.
That is the work she shares now.
Jodi helps people recognize those moments and build the awareness, resilience, and honesty to choose something different.
Not perfection.
Not theory.
Just the hard-earned truth that one pause can change everything.

Jodi offers speaking engagements, workshops, and select coaching conversations built around real-life emotional triggers, resilience, and self-awareness.
Her approach is simple and direct.
She helps people see the moment where they are about to react, overthink, or give their power away, and teaches them how to pause before it happens.
Her style is honest, relatable, and practical.
Not theory.
Not perfection.
Just real-life application.
Most companies don’t realize how much emotional reactivity is costing them.
It shows up in small moments.
A leader reacting too fast in a meeting.
An employee taking feedback personally.
An email sent with the wrong tone.
A conversation that gets avoided instead of handled.
And underneath it, something else is happening.
People start blaming.
Defending.
Explaining.
Protecting themselves instead of taking ownership.
Nothing looks broken on the surface.
But over time it creates:
tension in teams
miscommunication
disengagement
slow decisions
unnecessary conflict
That’s where culture starts to slip.
The Let go.be pause interrupts that pattern.
It gives people one moment to stop reacting, stop feeding the story in their head, and take ownership of what’s actually happening inside them.
That one shift changes how people communicate, how they lead, and how they show up under pressure.
Not in theory.
In real conversations.
In real decisions.
In real time.
More ownership. Less blame. Better decisions. Stronger culture.
