The B.O.U.N.C.E. Mindset Podcast

The Miracle Brain: Finding Clarity & Courage with Jo Rye

This week, Rebecca is joined by Jo Rye — executive coach, founder of Clarity & Courage, yoga instructor, Reiki Master, Access Bars practitioner, and a woman whose lived experience gives extraordinary depth to her work.

After two decades leading culture and transformation across global brands such as Coca-Cola, HSBC and the London Stock Exchange, Jo’s life took a dramatic turn with a series of tragic events that unfolded without warning.

What followed was a long recovery physically and mentally that reshaped Jo’s identity, mindset and purpose — and taught her the true meaning of resilience, choice, and taking life moment by moment.

In this powerful conversation, Rebecca and Jo explore:

• Why staying in the now helps reduce anxiety and overwhelm
• Brain fog, sleep, and the small habits that support cognitive healing
• The 90-second rule, the 5-second rule, and “control the controllables”
• How choice sits at the heart of Jo’s coaching and the B.O.U.N.C.E Mindset
• Rebuilding identity after crisis and embracing your evolving self.

Jo’s openness is a reminder that even in our darkest seasons, hope, clarity and courage can be rebuilt — one small step at a time.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

“Everything can be taken from us except the last human freedom — to choose our attitude.” — Jo Rye, inspired by Viktor Frankl

Episode 12: From the Track to Trust: A journey of resilience with Tom Gaymor

This week, Rebecca is joined by Tom Gaymor — a voice many motorsport fans will recognise from Sky Sports F1, Eurosport, and TNT Sports. A former racing driver whose career was cut short by injury, Tom has since built an extraordinary second act as a broadcaster, coach, and advocate for wellbeing in high-performance environments.

In this powerful conversation, Tom opens up about his own journey with resilience — what it really means, how to recognise what you’re being resilient towards, and why the process matters as much as the outcome.

Together, Rebecca and Tom explore:

• 💭 The difference between healthy and unhealthy resilience
• 🧠 Why awareness is the foundation of true strength
• 💬 The importance of trusted spaces and vulnerability — especially for men in high-performance settings
• 🐾 Tom’s work with DIVERT London, The National Foundation for Retired Service Animals, and The London Retired Police Dogs Trust
• ⚙️ How focusing on the human being behind the performance can transform results

Tom’s honesty and insight remind us that resilience isn’t about pushing through at all costs — it’s about knowing when to reflect, when to reach out, and how to keep the human element at the heart of every challenge.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

“We are resilient as human beings when we know and understand what it is we’re trying to be resilient towards — and have a healthy process to get there.” — Tom Gaymor

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.
