Take a breath.
Seriously—pause right now and take one long, slow breath.
Because this moment? It’s yours.

You’ve made it to the final episode of The Trampoline Effect.
That means you didn’t just listen to stories—you lived through your own.
You didn’t just survive your rock bottom—you searched for your trampoline.

This final episode is about celebrating that.
Not in a confetti, party-hat kind of way.
But in the quiet way that matters most:
That moment you realized… “I’m still here.”
That’s your trampoline moment.

You may not feel like you’ve “arrived.”
But maybe you’ve caught yourself smiling again.
Or setting boundaries without apologizing.
Or choosing rest without guilt.
Or believing—maybe for the first time in a long time—that something better is coming.

Thanks for listening to The Trampoline Effect.

Today’s episode is a little more reflective.
Because if you’ve made it this far on The Trampoline Effect, then you’ve walked through something.
And you didn’t just survive it—you learned from it.
That’s what this moment is about.

You know, people always say, “Look how far you’ve come,” but they don’t talk enough about how deep you had to go to get here.
About how rock bottom isn’t just a pit—it’s a classroom.
And in that silence, in that struggle, in that stillness… you gain lessons that no textbook could ever teach.

This podcast was never about pretending I had it all figured out.
I didn’t write Rock Bottom Has a Trampoline from the mountaintop.
I wrote it mid-climb.

I’m still running businesses.
Still raising a son.
Still learning how to be soft and strong in a world that makes it hard for Black women to be either.
Still figuring it out—just like you.

But what I do know is this:

So you’ve survived the fall.
You’ve hit your version of rock bottom.
You’re standing up again, a little sore, maybe a little scared… but ready.
Now what?

That’s what today’s episode of The Trampoline Effect is all about.

Because let’s be real:
Bouncing back is one thing. Building momentum is another.
It’s easy to get excited when things first start turning around.
But what happens after the adrenaline wears off?
After the likes, the “you got this!” comments, the energy burst from survival mode?

You need a plan—not just to recover, but to rise.

In this episode, I walk you through what I call the Bounce-Forward Plan—how to take your experience, your wounds, your wisdom… and start building something steady. Something meaningful. Something sustainable.

Because the goal was never just to bounce.

If you’ve ever stayed too long in a relationship that was draining the life out of you, this one’s for you.

I know what it feels like to hold on even when everything inside you is telling you to let go.
To make excuses.
To shrink yourself.
To believe the best in someone, even when they’ve shown you their worst.

In this episode of The Trampoline Effect, I talk about one of my own rock bottoms—my divorce.
It wasn’t just the end of a marriage. It was the unraveling of an identity I had built around someone else’s comfort.
It was messy. Painful. And still... necessary.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop pretending that being “strong” means staying.

Let me guess—you’re standing in a moment where something big just shifted.
Maybe it was your career. A relationship. A dream you outgrew.
Maybe life knocked you off your path so hard, you’re not even sure where the road begins anymore.

Can I tell you a secret?

The pivot isn’t a failure. It’s a strategy.

In this episode of The Trampoline Effect, we’re talking about the powerful (and terrifying) moment when you realize:
What used to work... doesn’t anymore.
What used to fit... feels tight now.
And what you used to chase... might no longer be your truth.

I’ve lived through so many pivots—personally, professionally, emotionally.
And what I’ve learned is this:

Pivoting is how we survive. But it’s also how we evolve.
You’re not starting over. You’re starting wiser.

If you’re carrying grief right now—fresh or decades old—this one’s for you.

Loss doesn’t always look like funerals and tears.
Sometimes it’s the slow fading of a relationship you thought would last.
Sometimes it’s the version of yourself you had to let go of to survive.
Sometimes it’s someone still living, but no longer reachable.
And sometimes, it’s all of the above at once.

This week on The Trampoline Effect, I open up about what it really means to grieve while still being expected to show up for life.
Because let’s be honest—when you're the strong one, the leader, the one who keeps it all together...
Who checks in on you when you’re quietly falling apart?

I’ve lost people I loved. I’ve lost plans I built my future on.
And through it all, I’ve learned this:

Let’s have a real conversation.
Not the filtered one. The one that starts with:
I see you—and I know how it feels when the world doesn’t.

In this episode of The Trampoline Effect, I talk about something I’ve lived through again and again: social rock bottom.

Being underestimated.
Being overlooked.
Being passed over for the opportunity—even though you earned it ten times over.

I’ve been taunted for the way I wore my hair.
I’ve had coaches tell me I didn’t belong on the field.
I’ve walked into meetings where people assumed I was the assistant instead of the CEO.

It hurts.
It chips away at your confidence.
It makes you question if showing up as your full self is even worth it.

But here’s the truth I want to pass to you today:

You don’t need their validation. You need your voice.
And once you start using it, you’ll see how powerful you really are.

Let’s talk about something no one posts about when they’re in it:
burnout.

Not just being tired.
I’m talking about soul-exhaustion.
The kind where your body is moving, but your heart is running on fumes.

You might be a single mom holding up a household.
A solopreneur juggling all the hats.
A disabled veteran still expected to perform like you’re made of steel.
Or maybe you’re all three—like me.

In this episode of The Trampoline Effect, I’m not giving you a productivity hack.
I’m giving you permission to be honest—with yourself and with the world—about how much you’re carrying.

I don’t believe in "balance."
Not in the perfectly distributed, Instagrammable way.
What I do believe in is radical transparency.
Sometimes I have to say, “I can’t show up for this because I’m barely holding together.”
And that doesn’t make me weak. It makes me real.
