I wish I could go back and hug December me🥹, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way. I don’t even recognize this girl anymore. The amount you can grown and develop in just 6 months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding. I wish the peace I found within Jesus on everyone who reads this. ❤️ Your identity in him matters, not how people choose to perceive you.

The footage, originally recorded in December, shows her tearfully speaking while a motivational sermon plays in the background. She opened up about spending the last six months focusing on her faith and stepping away from social media to heal.

In the video, Leanna emphasized how much she’s grown since the backlash, stating she no longer recognizes the person she was. She shared a message about identity and self-worth rooted in spirituality, resonating with many viewers who offered support.

The backlash began during Hunter’s Heisman ceremony, where Leanna was publicly scrutinized. Travis defended her at the time, and the couple stayed out of the spotlight until resurfacing around their May wedding and recent move to Jacksonville.

Now settled into their new life, Leanna’s video marks a turning point in reclaiming her narrative and focusing on personal growth.
