    RISE AGAIN: Chapter Eleven, Wondra’s Story

    Send us Fan Mail Grief doesn’t keep office hours, and it rarely arrives alone. We open up about the hardest chapter to write—chapter 11 of Rise Again—and the practices that helped us carry sorrow and joy together without apology. From a family ritual on Christmas Eve to the small, steady habits that make self‑care real, this episode is a guide for anyone navigating anniversaries, holidays, and the everyday moments that suddenly ache. We trace three core messages: embrace both joy and grief, let faith be a compass rather than a cure, and make self‑care practical enough to do on your worst day. You’ll hear how community, counseling, and honest conversations with doctors and spiritual leaders created a safety net during the rawest weeks. We also share what it looked like to return to life—finishing a bachelor’s degree just three classes shy, welcoming a rainbow baby, and building routines that allow laughter without guilt. Along the way, we offer reflection prompts, simple remembrance rituals like lighting a candle or writing a letter, and goal‑setting tips that balance gentleness with momentum. If you’re facing pregnancy or infant loss, miscarriage, or any form of deep grief, these stories and tools can help you honor memories while reclaiming agency. We point you to chapter pages and workbook prompts, highlight community resources and awareness months, and invite you to craft your own tradition that keeps love present. Healing is not forgetting; it’s remembering with tenderness and choosing a future that holds room for light. Subscribe for more conversations on grief, faith, self‑care, and personal growth. Share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find their way back to hope.

    RISE AGAIN: Chapter Ten, The Power Within!

    Send a text Change doesn’t wait for perfect timing—it knocks, insists, and asks who you’re becoming. We open Chapter 10 of Rise Again to turn that moment into motion, shifting from grief to grounded action with a simple, human framework you can use today. The conversation leans into the power within: the steady part of you that doesn’t need a permission slip, only a clear next step and the courage to take it. We start by naming what change actually feels like—tight chest, buzzing nerves, a tug you keep rationalizing away—and then get practical. You’ll hear how to build a support team of three people who make you braver, what to ask of them, and why accountability works best when it’s specific and kind. We bring in the “mirror question” (What do you want?) and explore how answers can show up as a pulse, not a paragraph. From there, we ground courage with believable, actionable affirmations, pairing each phrase with a tiny step to create momentum you can trust. Next, we map goals that align with real life: one measurable outcome and a trio of repeatable process habits. You’ll learn to track emotions alongside progress to spot patterns, celebrate micro‑wins to fuel consistency, and use curiosity as a strategy for growth—choosing skills that make this season lighter, whether that’s boundary language, budgeting basics, or a creative practice that restores energy. We also preview the Chapter 10 workbook prompts: list your goals, name your supporters, identify emotions, plan your celebrations, and write a brief reflection that ties your intentions together. Every tool aims at one outcome—helping you start before you’re ready and become as you go. Order My Bestseller on Bookshop! Amazon Best‑Selling Author! Wondra's Amazon Picks!

    RISE AGAIN: Chapter Nine, Your Mission Statement

    Send a text Ready to trade vague motivation for a clear, usable compass? We walk through how to craft a personal mission statement that honors your healing, names your values, and turns everyday choices into steps toward a life you actually want to live. Drawing from Rise Again: Transforming Grief into Purpose and Passion, we show how pain can become direction, not a dead end, and why a single honest sentence can steady you when life tilts.We start with values that don’t crack under pressure—compassion, resilience, honesty, growth, faith, service—and translate them into actions you can see and measure. Then we bring grief into the light, recasting lessons from loss as strengths that shape your legacy. You’ll hear simple, adaptable examples and a clean formula you can copy: “My mission is to [action] by [values] so I can [impact].” We talk practically: where to place your statement so it nudges you, how to use it as a daily affirmation, and when to revise as you evolve. We also open the workbook for hands-on prompts—reflect on what you stand for when life gets hard, define the impact you want at home, in community, and in your profession, and write a fill‑in‑the‑blank draft you can refine this week. If you’ve felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this conversation offers structure, language, and gentle courage to move. Grab your copy of the book and workbook from our site, Amazon, Walmart, or Barnes & Noble, and come write your mission statement with us. You can get it on my website, Amazon, or Walmart. It is in stores in Barnes and Noble. If they don't have it, you can ask them to order it.  Order My Bestseller on Bookshop! Amazon Best‑Selling Author! Wondra's Amazon Picks!

    RISE AGAIN: Chapter Eight, Rejoice and Embrace!

    Send a text Ready for a fresh start that feels grounded, kind, and doable? We dive into “Rejoice and Embrace,” a simple practice for welcoming change without pretending everything is easy. I walk you through finding real balance in daily life, celebrating small wins that actually stick, and building a support system that lifts you when motivation dips. We start by redefining balance as a living practice: better sleep you can feel, movement that matches your season, and water before the whirlwind. From there, we explore how to keep your circle positive and practical—friends, family, and mentors who offer clarity instead of noise. You’ll hear how small, specific goals turn big dreams into daily steps, and why acknowledging micro milestones is the quickest way to quiet self-doubt and keep moving forward. Self-compassion is the engine of this approach. You can carry mixed emotions and still choose action. I share a straightforward self-care inventory plus a simple self-contract: one clear goal, tiny daily behaviors, meaningful rewards, and honest reflections. These tools turn uncertainty into a roadmap. With boundaries that protect your peace and rituals that center your day, you’ll trade burnout for steady momentum and joy that lasts. If you’re stepping into a new chapter—a job change, a move, a relationship, or a personal reset—this conversation offers practical guidance and encouragement. You hold the pen. Let’s write the next page with intention, grace, and a little courage you can feel. Listen now, subscribe for weekly motivation, and share this episode with someone who’s ready to begin again. Then tell me: what small win are you celebrating today?

    RISE AGAIN: Chapter Seven, Pouring into Yourself and Uplifting Others & Self-Contract

    Send a text Ever feel like everyone needs you at once, but you’re running on fumes? We take a clear, compassionate look at how to refill your energy so you can show up with patience, joy, and strength. Using Chapter Seven of Rise Again as our guide, we break self-care out of the buzzword zone and turn it into simple actions that rebuild your baseline: better sleep, steady hydration, nourishing food, daily movement, and space for real joy. We start with a self-care inventory that makes wellness measurable and honest. How many hours did you sleep? Did you move your body today? Are you drinking enough water? What brought you joy? When did you say no to protect your peace? From there, we link those small habits to bigger outcomes—calmer mornings with your family, more presence in tough conversations, and the capacity to hold space for friends and coworkers without burning out. You’ll hear practical examples you can try right away, from 30-minute walks and sunrise breathing to tech-light evenings and a weekly hour that belongs only to you. To lock in change, we share a 30-day self-contract you can customize: bedtime targets, five-day movement goals, hydration checkpoints, and a quick nightly journal. Midway through, a reflection checkpoint helps you course-correct with self-kindness, asking what healing looks like today and what you’re proud of so far. We close with resources to keep you supported: the Rise Again book and workbook, upcoming Power Hours, and our private community where like-minded listeners grow together.

    50th Episode!! RISE AGAIN: Chapter Six, Don’t Stop and Keep Going

    Send a text The 50th Episode, and thanks for the support! When progress feels far away, the smallest win can change the day. We dive into a practical, compassionate playbook for building momentum, honoring grief without losing motion, and turning setbacks into the fuel that keeps you moving forward. Wondra Spencer, founder of Inspire and Drive and author of the Amazon bestseller Don’t Stop and Keep Going, shares three core messages: celebrate tiny, repeatable wins, let joy and sorrow coexist, and design goals that survive real life. We start with a gentle reset for first-time or returning exercisers—light movement, mindful breathing, and five-minute routines that prove you can start where you are. From there, we explore a momentum mindset rooted in SMART goals and visible milestones, so progress is measured, not imagined. Wondra explains how to reframe obstacles as design problems, adjust scope without abandoning standards, and build identity through consistent action. Along the way, we bring grief into the conversation with honesty: memories can ache and still inspire. By tying affirmations to specific behaviors and pairing them with breathwork, you create self-belief that reflects what you do, not just what you say. You’ll also hear workbook-driven prompts to identify passions, set short- and long-term targets, map your support network, and script daily motivation you can revisit on hard days. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when perfection fails, this guide shows you how to lower the bar without lowering your vision—one checkmark, one breath, one step at a time.

    RISE AGAIN: Chapter Four, Care for You

    Send a text When loss rearranges your life, even basic care can feel complicated. Today, we explore how tending to your well-being is not a retreat from love, but a daily way to honor it. We walk through chapter four of Rise Again—Care For You—and share simple practices, honest mindsets, and supportive tools that help you rebuild balance without guilt. We start with the essentials: small rituals that calm the nervous system and make space for emotion, like a quiet cup of tea, a short nap, breathwork, or a nature walk when the weather allows. From there, we look at why reaching out for counseling, coaching, or spiritual guidance is an act of courage that accelerates healing. You’ll hear how to combine professional support with everyday choices so you can maintain steadiness when grief surges, and life stays busy. To move from ideas to action, we open the workbook and walk through reflection prompts that identify your soothing routines, rewrite guilt narratives, and set simple plans you can keep. We also share a few ways to weave remembrance into self-care—lighting a candle, speaking their name, revisiting a favorite passage—so memory and healing sit side by side. Finally, we preview next week’s focus on passion and SMART goals, showing how compassionate structure can guide your next steps. If you’re ready to feel supported while you support yourself, this conversation is your starting place.
