Overview
When life’s challenges hit us hard, we can break—or we can bounce back and thrive. It’s all up to us!
Dr. Shelley Plumb’s To Break or Bounce is her story of rediscovery and emotional healing. During a long walk on her grandmother's property, powerful memories overtake her. During the course of that single day, Plumb is pulled back into the significant events of her life, and she comes face-to-face with how her responses to those events—combined with an incessant drive to push herself harder and harder—have left her feeling physically exhausted, lost, desperate, and without a vision of who she is.
As she wanders, she can no longer look away from the reasons she chose to live her life as she did. That examination yields important lessons about the foundations we build our lives on and how solid those foundations are. If they are shaky, says Plumb, we won’t be able to handle the stresses that will inevitably come our way. Her reverie on the day of her grandmother’s funeral also offers us powerful insights about our own relationships and how important it is for us to set boundaries, heal past wounds, and to let those we love and trust come close to us once again.
Plumb openly shares painful and personal scenarios from her life, including divorce, sexual harassment, her mother's shocking death when she was a child, and the delicate balance between being a professional woman and a wife and mother. By the end of the day, Plumb makes sense of her past memories and circumstances and leaves us with uplifting ways we can all find the stability, balance, and resilience we need to bounce back and take control of our lives and our futures.
Dr. Shelley Plumb is a podiatric physician, video coach, prominent speaker, and the executive producer at PlumbTalk Productions.
