About Bridgette

Bridgette Lewis is a two-time celebrated author, transformational speaker, health and wellness advocate, and founder of The Bounce Back Academy. Known as The Bounce Back Coach, she empowers women 40 and over—especially those who have spent years caregiving, fixing, and holding everyone else together—to reclaim their power, rewrite their story, and live with clarity, courage, and confidence.

Her Story: From Caregiver to Coach

On October 26, 2006, Bridgette’s beloved mother, Sara, suffered a massive stroke. After surviving a 22-hour brain surgery with a 50% chance of survival, Bridgette put her corporate career on hold and became her mother’s full-time caregiver for ten years. Those years were filled with love but also exhaustion, burnout, and the loss of self. She managed doctor visits, therapies, and daily care, all while carrying the silent emotional weight of putting her own dreams on hold. Yet even in this demanding season, Bridgette leaned into her natural gifts. Armed with a borrowed laptop with broken keys, a cup of decaf coffee, and two decades of experience in marketing, promotions, and communications, she launched CoffeeTalk Media from bedroom - helping Grammy-winning artists, authors, and creatives share their stories worldwide.

In 2012, a call from ABC Channel 7 invited her to film a lifestyle segment on “living well,” a divine interruption that reignited her spark and reminded her of God’s greater plan. After her mother’s passing, Bridgette faced the challenge of rebuilding her health, career, and identity. She released 62 pounds, regained her energy, and reignited her purpose. That’s when The Bounce Back Academy was born.

The Bounce Back Academy Mission

Bridgette helps women 40+ the caregivers, the fixers, the glue that holds families and communities together—slow down, reassess what truly matters, and prioritize their own well-being: emotionally, mentally, and physically.

These are the women who carry the weight of everyone else’s needs while quietly ignoring their own. The ones who’ve been taught especially as women—that you never stop, never slow down, just keep piling it on… until the cracks start to show. Until the breaking point arrives.

The Bounce Back Academy is your wake-up call
It’s the moment to say:
"I matter, too."
To release the illusion that you must fix what you didn’t break.
To finally put yourself back on your own priority list.

Through coaching, workshops, retreats, and keynotes, Bridgette equips women to:

Set boundaries without guilt
Prioritize wellness—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically
Turn a side hustle into a full-time income
Rebuild after life disruptions such as divorce, career loss, grief, or burnout
Bounce forward with clarity and intention—not just back to where they were

Grounded in six core pillars—clarity, confidence, purpose, wellness, resilience, and reinvention—Bridgette’s approach is not theory. It’s lived experience.

And it resonates—no matter your background, ethnicity, or story—because every woman deserves to reclaim her confidence, rediscover her purpose, and rebuild a life she loves.

Reclaim Your Power and Rewrite Your Story

Let go of what’s weighing you down; There comes a moment when you just know—your spirit can no longer survive on autopilot. You’ve carried the weight of disappointment and broken dreams for far too long. But what if this is your divine turning point? I know what it’s like to feel lost. I’ve walked through fire—the ache of starting over, the silence of being unseen. And yet, through grace and grit, I didn’t just survive—I transformed. I rose. And now I’m here to walk beside you.

As your soul-centered Bounce Back Coach, I don’t offer quick fixes or surface-level inspiration. I offer sacred space, soul-rooted strategies, and heart-led guidance drawn from real life, hard-won wisdom, and spiritual truth. Together, we’ll uncover the truth of who you are, release what no longer serves you, and build a life aligned with your deepest values, your truest voice, and your boldest vision.

Personal Development: What is the main focus of your life right now?

1. Release Focus – Letting Go to Grow

This is about shedding what no longer serves you—whether that’s a toxic relationship, limiting beliefs, old habits, fear, guilt, or shame. Release is the starting point for reinvention. You can’t rise carrying what was meant to be left behind.,“You can’t embrace what’s next while holding hands with what’s over.”

2. Business Focus – Build What Builds You

This is where your purpose meets your profit. Whether you’re launching a passion project, scaling your brand, or shifting careers, business focus means you’re doing it with intention, strategy, and confidence.

“Start where you are. Use what you know. Build as you grow.”

3. Healing Focus – Mind, Body, Spirit Reset

True bounce-back begins with healing. Emotional, physical, spiritual—this is your restoration season. You can't move forward dragging unhealed wounds. Prioritize therapy, self-care, boundaries, and quiet time with God.

“Healing isn’t a one-time event. It’s a sacred process—and you’re worth every moment of it.”

4. Faith Focus – Rooted and Unshakable

This is your anchor. When the storms of life hit—and they will—faith is your foundation. It’s about trusting what you can’t yet see, and walking anyway. Speak what you believe until you see it manifest.

“Faith isn’t passive—it’s active. It’s a decision to rise, even in the dark.”

5. Financial Focus – Get Your Coins in Order

Financial clarity gives you options, freedom, and peace of mind. This is about budgeting with purpose, earning with strategy, and building legacy wealth.

“Sis, money doesn’t have to be messy. Organize it, respect it, multiply it.”
