Show Notes

Bullying, particularly in early stages of life, can result in severe consequences.

With the addition of the online space, students are not only exposed to bullying at school, it can come home with them too via things like social media. This can lead to serious mental health problems. With that being said, it’s more important than ever that we do everything that we can to prevent bullying from happening. 

In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we got to sit down with Caley Rose. Caley experienced extreme bullying herself in middle school and now makes it her mission to work with kids in schools and make sure people know that they’re not alone with her empowering music. 

Caley Rose is a Billboard charting artist & motivational speaker. She is an empowering pop singer & songwriter whose music has been featured on Top 40 radio, TV, commercials & film. After being severely bullied in middle school, Caley dedicated her life to finding her own self-esteem and to empowering women & students to discover their own. 

She created her Music with a Message Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program to bring “confidence tools into schools,” by using the power of music.  

This former Off-Broadway singer has received an Inspiration grant for her work empowering women & students and regularly partners with women’s and children’s charities. 

In her own words, “The future looks so bright today I’m gonna need a bigger pair of shades.”  

In today’s episode, we cover: 

  • How Caley overcame extreme bullying and depression
  • Why the only opinion of you that matters is your own
