A Marine’s Toughest Battle Wasn’t War — It Was Starting Over as a Single Mom

Rise Above with Kevin Lanning

Lex Jacoby’s story is one of strength, resilience, and quiet courage.

In this episode of Rise Above, Lex shares her journey from serving eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps to navigating divorce, single motherhood, and the isolating transition back into civilian life — all without a safety net.

This conversation goes far beyond labels. Lex opens up about rebuilding her identity, learning how to stand on her own, and finding confidence and freedom by being unapologetically herself.

Whether you’re a veteran, a single parent, or someone going through a major life transition, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to hit rock bottom to have a powerful Rise Above story.
