Soul Trip with Chel

Bouncing Forward: What It Really Means to be Resilient


Listen Later

If you've ever made it through something hard and wondered how you did it, this episode is for you.

Chel gets personal about resilience: the story of moving to LA in the middle of a global pandemic, what it actually took to stay and build a life here nearly six years later, and the moments from childhood and high school she rarely talks about. Not the highlight reel. The real thing.


This episode covers:

  • Why resilience isn't about "bouncing back." It's about bouncing forward and coming home to a more healed version of yourself in the process.
  • How bullying, ostracizing, and feeling like the "other" was quietly building Chel's resilience before she even had a word for it
  • What resilience has cost her, what she's had to grieve, AND what she gained on the other side
  • Why building resilience can feel isolating, and why that's completely normal
  • Grieving the old version of yourself as you grow, and why that grief is part of the process
  • A reflection question to help you see where you're already being resilient without giving yourself credit

Quotable moment:

"You are just in the before of your next greatest moment."


You've survived 100% of your hardest days so far. Give yourself some credit for that.
