Living Strong: The Flip Side of Adversity

Resilience isn’t about bouncing back, but bouncing forward. Living Strong: The Flip Side of Adversity brings powerful stories and fearless conversations from experts in the field of business, relationships, emotional, physical and mental health, and faith-based communities together to give practical insight on how there is always a flip side to every story. Each episode creates a brave space that combines proven lessons from neuroscience, powerful tools from authentic connection, key principles from life lessons, and practical promises from faith-based insights. Trauma, toxic stress, broken habits and hurting hearts don’t define destiny, but peace isn’t passive. It requires an exchange. To create a flip and access peace in the middle of the pieces, you are challenged to make an exchange of the lies that have kept you mentally hostage in basement moments for a Steps of Growth framework, which cultivates a shift toward growth planning and forward movement.

  Bloom Where You Break — with Roshanna Campbell

  Oct 1, 20261 hour

  What do you build when life breaks the version of your future you thought was certain? After navigating divorce, career loss, and grief in 2024, Roshanna Campbell went searching for a community that understood what it meant to rebuild. When she couldn’t find it, she created Bloom Where You Break—beginning with a small circle of women and growing into a community centered on healing, connection, and new possibilities. In this episode of The Flip Side of Adversity, Dr. Veirdre Jackson and Roshanna go beyond the story of resilience to explore serial entrepreneurship, building a mission-driven community, the insurance business, financial protection, purpose and profit, capacity, identity, and creating something new after life doesn’t go according to plan. This conversation is for the woman, leader, or entrepreneur navigating a breaking point and wondering what comes next. Your breaking may be part of your story. It doesn’t have to be your ending.
