The Comeback Season – Rebuilding When Life Hits Reset

 Episode Overview

Hosted by Karina Kampe (certified transformational coach, artist, creative entrepreneur, and songwriter) and Maria Wronski-Ellis (artist, songwriter, educator, and author of the upcoming The Mindful Songwriter), this milestone 10th episode of Big Dreams & Little Things dives deep into what it really means to stage a comeback when life throws a plot twist your way.

From Maria’s literal fall (and sacral spine fracture—ouch!) to Karina holding it down behind the scenes while juggling business, motherhood, and funding pitches, this conversation is real, raw, and ridiculously relatable. We explore what it means to rise from burnout, injuries, and unexpected pauses — and how transformation often starts with stillness, surrender, and the tiniest of steps forward.

Comebacks aren't just about bouncing back. They're about becoming.

Topics Covered

• Personal injury & post-traumatic clarity (hello sacral spine wake-up call)
• The emotional and logistical messiness of comebacks
• Famous comeback stories that inspire: Cheryl Strayed, J.K. Rowling, Bethany Hamilton, and Sheryl Sandberg
• How stillness supports psychological healing
• Partnership dynamics during life upheaval
• Post-Traumatic Growth: the science of rising stronger
• Why accountability is more than just checking boxes — it’s about connection

Barbra Streisand and beautifully bittersweet lyrics (cue the tissues)
