Living Strong: The Flip Side of Adversity

Prepare. Pivot. Persevere.

Nine years of stages, stumbles, assignments, successes, slip ups, sad moments, and joyful opportunities—and I’m still here. Still learning. Still moving with purpose.
 
Tonight on The Flip Side of Adversity we’re getting real about how to Prepare. Pivot. Persevere. All of it. Bring your questions. Share with a friend. Let’s flip together. I don’t have it all figured out, but I’ve stayed the course—and I’m ready to pour.

Walking a Tightrope Backward in High Heels

I’m sitting down with the trailblazing Blondell Reynolds-Brown to talk about her brand-new memoir, Walking a Tightrope Backward in High Heels. 👠 From the halls of Philadelphia City Council to the realities of single motherhood, Blondell’s story is part political memoir, part leadership manifesto—and ALL inspiration.
She’s opening up about shattering glass ceilings, championing women and families, and navigating storms that could have taken her out—but instead, made her stronger. 💥
