We’ve all heard the phrase “just bounce back,” like we’re rubber balls instead of actual human beings with hearts, brains, and tear-stained sweatshirts. But real resilience? It doesn’t look like a movie montage or a perfectly curated Instagram comeback story. It looks like crying on your living room floor, knitting through the quiet, whispering prayers you’re not even sure God can hear… and showing up again anyway.
In this solo episode, Melie dismantles the Bounce Back Myth and takes you on a compassionate, honest journey through what resilience really looks like—from a neuroscience perspective, a faith-based lens, and the lived-in messiness of healing after heartbreak.
You’ll hear:
Why the world’s version of resilience is performative—and God’s version is patient and faithful
What neuroscience reveals about healing, neuroplasticity, and your beautifully adaptable brain
Why “not being okay” is not a sign of weakness—but a gateway to authentic strength
Gentle truths for anyone crawling through a season of grief, heartbreak, or slow rebuilding
Real-life moments of resilience that don’t look shiny—but are holy all the same
✨ “You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re not weak. You are becoming.”
If you’ve ever felt like healing is taking too long, or like you’re doing it wrong because your story doesn’t look like someone else’s—this episode is for you.
