Are you ready to bounce back from adversity and live the life of your dreams? Let’s do it together…

We can either break under the weight of life’s challenges—or we can bounce back and thrive!

The action in my heartfelt story of rediscovery and emotional healing takes place over the course of a single day—the day of my grandmother’s funeral. As I wander my grandmother’s property, a place where I spent much of my childhood, I am inundated with vivid memories.

Reflecting back on the major events of my life, I come to terms with a painful truth: my responses to those events, combined with a relentless drive to push herself harder and harder, have left my feeling totally lost, unmoored, and without a clear vision of who I was.

Walk with me as I relive real-life events from the past—from my mother’s shocking and sudden death when I was a child to divorce, sexual harassment, my grandmother’s death, and the delicate balance between being a professional woman and a wife and mother.

My reflections also bring forth important realizations about the foundations we build our lives on. If they are not solid we won’t be able to handle stresses when they come our way.

By the end of the day, I makes sense of past memories and offer anyone of us who has ever felt lost in our own lives a way to find the stability, balance, and resilience we need to bounce back and take control of our futures.

This is my story…an honest story…of how incredibly important it is to set boundaries, heal past wounds, and to let those we love and trust come close to us once again.

Here’s What They Are Saying…

To Break or Bounce: Finding Balance, Stability, and Resilience in Our Lives by Dr. Shelley Plumb takes readers on a journey along with the author and gives them glimpses of her life beginning with the loss of her mother when she was young. Her personal experiences and sufferings – ranging from divorce to sexual harassment to professional burnout and painful challenges – give insights into the darkest moments of her life and how they played an important role in shaping her into the person she ended up being. The book is a good tool to help readers understand the importance of embracing things as they are, letting go of the constant effort to be perfect, being flexible in adverse situations, and striving for balance.

To Break or Bounce spreads positive vibes and will motivate readers to bounce back. It gives them awareness about their freedom to choose their response, and not to break but bounce back from adversity and light up the world. The author is honest when it comes to speaking about her life and shares intimate details of her life, giving readers hope and encouragement to heal their lives. It is a good book to help readers reflect and deal with the adversities in their lives in a positive way, and also make them realize the importance of setting boundaries. Dr. Shelley Plumb’s strength, resilience, positivity, determination, courage, and hope make the book an engaging read to get motivated while dealing with the good and bad moments of life.

“This book is full of imagery that is relatable. The grandmother advice is priceless. I could hear my grandmother speaking to me as I read the book. To Break or Bounce is an easy read that addresses loss, how we deal with it and makes the reader consider new ways to deal. This is also a book about self-care and mental health. A transformational read that is life changing.”

“Dr. Shelley Plumb’s To Break or Bounce is a valuable tutorial on how to live a better and richer life. But unlike most tutorials, Dr. Plumb’s is as emotional as it is intellectual. From her heart and mind, using both as a GPS, Dr. Plumb guides the reader on a journey to the spirit within. Step by personal step, even through her stumbles, Dr. Plumb shows the readers how to light and nourish the spark, the spirit, that is the core of each of us. Dr. Plumb never claims the journey is easy, but she does maintain throughout that unless we make that journey inward, we will constantly be at the mercy of and buffeted by, the vicissitudes of life. This book could easily have been titled, Going Inward, for in her doing so, Dr. Plumb has found the formula for how to bounce and not break from whatever life throws at us. Basically, Dr. Plumb is saying: Stop and smell the roses. For when you do, surprise, surprise, you discover you are your own rosebud just waiting to burst into bloom with your own special beauty.”
