The Art of the Bounce Back Featuring Elle Davis
What does it mean to have life break open in a single moment — and discover that the strength you need was already inside you?
In this powerful episode of Resiliency The Podcast, Jenn Quader and Dr. Kelly Culver sit down with Elle Davis, MSW, founder of The Elevate Group, TEDx speaker, and author of The Art of the Bounce Back: 31 Days of Resilient Living.
Elle shares the deeply personal story of losing her husband suddenly when their daughter was just two years old, and how grief, solo parenting, faith, community, and action shaped her understanding of resilience. Her story reminds us that resilience is not about coming back untouched. It is about returning to ourselves with the bruises, heartbreaks, and lessons that life leaves behind.
Together, Jenn, Dr. Kelly, and Elle explore grief, motherhood, symbols of strength, community care, nonprofit leadership, vulnerability, and what it means to transform pain into purpose.
In This Episode Elle Davis shares:
How she defines resilience as “the art of the bounce back”
The moment people began calling her resilient after speaking at her husband’s funeral
How community helped her survive grief and solo parenting
What it means to move from “warrior” energy toward sovereignty
How The Elevate Group supports overlooked middle managers in the nonprofit sector
Why vulnerability is essential to leadership development
Why sharing our stories can help others keep going
