Description

Ryan sits down with Jenna McCusker, host of My Life and Me and founder of House of Sense. Jenna shares her extraordinary story of resilience — from the pain of divorce and emotional abuse to the unimaginable challenge of being told she would never walk again after a spinal injury.


What began as tragedy became transformation. Through faith, humour, and an unbreakable love for her son, Jenna rebuilt her life — learning to walk again, confronting OCD, and turning her experiences into platforms for healing and connection.


Jenna’s story is one of survival, grace, and humour in the face of hardship. Her journey reminds us that even when life breaks us — body, heart, or mind — we can still rise, rebuild, and find purpose again.
