How to Bounce Back Stronger w/ Coach Dar | Ep 62
In this episode, I sit down with Coach Dar—executive coach, therapist, and author of The Art of Bouncing Back—to talk about what it really means to rise from life’s hardest hits. We dive deep into how she overcame three life-threatening strokes, found her purpose again, and turned pain into a mission to serve others.
Together, we explore how to reframe setbacks into strength, why accepting help is essential to healing, and how faith and resilience can transform your life. This is a raw, heartfelt conversation about courage, purpose, and the unshakable power of the human spirit.
