Hi there. I'm Lea Turner

I help grieving people who are experiencing loss overcome feelings of helplessness so they can walk in purpose and faithfulness even in suffering.

Because we can experience God’s goodness even in difficult times.

WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

The Freedom to Feel:
Finding God in the Midst of Grief and Trauma

"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."

“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 they sidle 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 feel and heal.”

Pastor Cj Andrews, coach, speaker, and founder of Sacred Treasures

The Freedom to Feel is a gift to the world. Lea’s words and story are a balm conveying her experience and the heart of God. God writes a beautiful story of redemption, and truly beauty comes from ashes. He’s still writing our story”
