✨✨✨
Hey my friend — if you’ve ever faced life’s toughest trials — heartbreak, loss, grief, trauma, or detours that shook your confidence — you’re in the right place. Bounce Back, Black Woman! is the go-to podcast for Black women rebuilding after hardship, learning to trust God again, and walking boldly toward healing, wholeness, and self-worth.
Hosted by Del Smith — speaker, certified coach, writer, and journal creator — this podcast helps you untangle the pain of your past and rise again with clarity, confidence, and God at the center. Through storytelling, reflection, and biblical encouragement, Del creates a soft but strong space to process life’s deepest wounds — and reclaim your power.
We talk about REAL resilience — not just breakups, but the trials that change everything, including:
• Surviving divorce and betrayal without losing your identity
• Escaping narcissistic abuse and reclaiming your voice
• Healing from traumatic grief, including the shock of losing a loved one
• Navigating estrangement from someone you still love deeply
• Enduring a loved one's (or your own) life-threatening illness — and finding triumph through faith
• Facing corporate heartbreak — being overlooked, silenced, or set up to fail despite giving your all
• Rebuilding after financial devastation and starting over from scratch
• Reckoning with the cost of trading your own career dreams to support a partner’s success
• Letting go of expectations and accepting free will — even when others’ choices break your heart
• Wrestling with aging, lost dreams, spiritual confusion, and self-abandonment
Every episode is rooted in this truth: you are not broken — you’re bouncing back. With tools like journaling, self-awareness, and leaning on Scripture, you’ll build resilience, rediscover your God-given worth, and create a life aligned with who you truly are.
New episodes drop every Tuesday and Friday, each one around 15-20 minutes — because healing doesn’t have to take hours. You’ll get soul-deep encouragement, journal prompts, faith reflections, and stories that make you say, “Wow… it’s not just me.”
