Bouncing back isn’t about returning to who you were. It’s about rising into who you were always meant to be, with grace, strength, and renewed purpose.

In this episode with Dr. Stem, we talk about what it really means to bounce back and find your true path. From her journey from Zimbabwe sent to the U.S., to becoming a Bounce Back Coach, Dr. Stem shares how moments of compassion and clarity led her to a life of purpose. You'll learn about the power of listening to others, honoring your natural gifts, and choosing a path that aligns with who you are, especially after life throws you a curveball.
