How To Bounce Back From Life’s Curveballs Stronger Than Ever, with Donna Ferris


Listen Later

EP416: Today’s guest is Donna Ferris, who I first met when she was a guest on my podcast over two years ago (Episode 220). I invited Donna back to get an update on her life and talk about her new book, Bounce Back Stronger: Finding Peace and Purpose No Matter What Happens, which is a unique book with a workbook aspect meant to help people navigate through difficult times in life.

Our conversation focuses on why Donna wrote this book, which is filled with powerful stories from her journey, as well as the various tools that helped her overcome significant personal challenges, including a painful divorce, the tragic loss of her fiancé, and the unexpected news that her youngest child was transitioning to a new gender.

In this episode, we talked about:

  • The tools in the book that have helped Donna through her hardest times.
  • The #1 mistake experts make when recommending self-care in the healing process.
  • How neuroplasticity helps our brains adjust to and recover from grief and loss.
  • The therapeutic power of small acts of kindness and helping others.
  • This episode is rich with personal stories, practical advice, and inspiring thoughts on resilience and healing, offering listeners valuable insights into living a life filled with peace and purpose.
