Episode 9: Bouncing Forward to Best Seller
Guest: Shelley Wilson
In this empowering episode of the B.O.U.N.C.E. Mindset Podcast, I sit down with the best selling author, Shelley Wilson—a woman who knows a thing or two about bouncing forward after life throws you off course. From escaping a harrowing marriage to rebuilding her confidence and stepping fully into her voice, Shelley’s story is a powerful reminder of the strength that lives within us when we dare to choose ourselves.
Shelley is a multi-genre bestselling author of over twenty books, an award-winning blogger, and a passionate writing mentor helping women in business bring their stories to life. Whether she’s supporting clients through her writing membership, one-to-one mentoring, or inspiring content, Shelley is a true advocate for women’s voices and visibility.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The moment Shelley chose to leave a toxic relationship and how that decision sparked a journey of rediscovery.
- How writing became her lifeline, healing tool, and ultimately her career.
- The importance of telling your story—not just for you, but for others who need to hear it.
- Building confidence from scratch and owning your space after trauma.
- Why creativity, community, and campervan adventures fuel her soul.
Shelley’s bounce mindset story is a masterclass in resilience, purpose, and turning pain into power. If you’ve ever felt stuck, silenced, or unsure of your next move, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are—and gently encourage you to take the next brave step.
About Shelley Wilson:
Shelley lives in Solihull in the West Midlands with her three children. When she’s not writing or mentoring, you’ll likely find her off on a solo campervan adventure, notebook in hand and ideas flowing. She’s living proof that you can rewrite your story—literally and figuratively—and come back stronger than ever.
