About this listen

Hey my friend — if you’ve ever faced heartbreak, loss, or life 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 heartbreak, 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 Christ 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 heartbreak — not just breakups, but the moments that change everything. Here, we explore: • Surviving divorce and betrayal without losing your identity • Escaping narcissistic abuse and reclaiming your voice • Healing from traumatic grief, including the shock of witnessing a new spouse die suddenly at home • Navigating estrangement, especially from children or family you still love deeply • Enduring and praying through a child’s life-threatening illness — and triumphing 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 • Recovering from health scares, near-death experiences, and medical trauma • Letting go of the expectations you have of others and accepting their free will - even when their choices break your heart • Wrestling with aging, lost dreams, spiritual confusion, and self-abandonment Every episode is rooted in the belief that you are not broken — you’re bouncing back. We use tools like journaling, self-awareness, and Scripture to help you build emotional resilience, rediscover your God-given worth, and create a life that feels aligned with who you really are. New episodes drop every Tuesday and Friday, each one around 15 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.” 🦋 Grab your Bounce Back Journal, join the community, or sign up for the newsletter at www.bouncebackblackwoman.com 💬 Ready to go deeper?

  • 12. Healing Father Wounds: Learning to Trust after an Absent or Unsafe Dad
    Jul 4 2025

    This week’s episode is a deeply personal and powerful conversation with my special guest [Insert Guest Name], as we explore the reality of healing father wounds — especially when the father figure in your life was emotionally unavailable, abusive, or completely absent.

    Together, we talk about:

    • What a “father wound” actually is (and what it isn’t)

    • The impact of growing up without emotional safety or support

    • How these wounds can show up in adulthood — from relationships to self-worth

    • What it takes to rebuild trust — in God, in others, and in ourselves

    • How we’ve both found healing through faith, therapy, community… and intentional work

    Whether your father was physically gone, emotionally distant, or harmful in other ways, please know this: You are not alone. You are not FatherLESS — you’re FatherFULL. 💛

    📝 Journal Prompt: What is one belief or behavior you developed as a result of your father wound — and what truth can you replace it with? 🎙️ Guest Spotlight: Marselle Cook-Morrison is the host of Through My Father’s Eyes — a powerful podcast centered on healing father wounds through faith and inner work. Her heart for creating honest, spirit-filled conversations helps women navigate pain and reclaim their identity.

  • 10. I Can't Fix Them - Making Peace with Someone Else's Journey
    Jun 27 2025

    🎙️ Episode 10 – I Can’t Fix Them: Making Peace with Someone Else’s Journey Follow-up to Episode 9: Free Will vs. Expectations

    What happens when the person you’ve been hoping for… praying for… waiting on… just doesn’t change?

    In this follow-up to Episode 9, we’re going deeper — into the quiet grief of realizing that someone else’s journey may never lead to healing. This isn’t about bitterness. It’s about wisdom. It’s about learning to release what was never yours to carry — and finally reclaim your peace.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why heartbreak lingers even when no one “did” anything wrong

    • What scripture says about letting go and trusting God with the outcome

    • How to hold people lightly, not tightly — even when you love them

    • Why it hurts to let go… and why it’s still the right choice

    Scriptures referenced: Galatians 6:5 · Proverbs 4:23 · Proverbs 3:5–6 · Isaiah 26:3 · Ruth 3 · Job 2

    📝 Journal Prompt: Who am I trying to carry emotionally — and why do I feel responsible for their growth? What would it look like to hold them lightly, not tightly?
