🎯 Our Purpose

The mission of We’re Not Stumped is simple: to amplify real stories of resilience and reinvention. Every guest brings a journey filled with challenges, breakthroughs, humor, identity, growth, and grit. Whether your struggle was physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual—we want to share how you found your strength.

💬 What We’ll Talk About

Most episodes run 20–45 minutes, recorded remotely via Zoom, with video on YouTube and audio on all major podcast platforms.

We always begin with:

1. “In Your Own Words”

This is your space to tell your story—from the moment things changed, the turning point in your life, or wherever feels right to you.

Other possible discussion topics include:

2. The Challenges

What you’ve faced—cancer, chronic illness, depression, loss, trauma, setbacks, or any personal battle.

3. Support & Acceptance

How your family, friends, workplace, and community responded during your hardest moments.

4. Silver Linings

The unexpected positives that came from your journey—new perspectives, strengths, relationships, or purpose.

5. Misconceptions

What people often misunderstand or overlook about what you’ve been through.

6. Life Today

What recovery, healing, mental health, relationships, or confidence look like now—and what you’ve learned along the way.

🎧 If there’s anything you’d prefer not to discuss, just let us know. We honor your boundaries 100%.
