The Trampoline Effect with Charlynda Scales
Rock bottom isn’t where your story ends—it’s where your bounce begins.
Hosted by entrepreneur, veteran, single mom, and author Charlynda Scales, The Trampoline Effect is a raw and empowering solo podcast for anyone rebuilding after life knocks them down. Based on her book Rock Bottom Has a Trampoline, this series walks you through the messy middle—not the polished success story from the mountaintop, but the real lessons learned from the climb.
Through honest storytelling, personal breakthroughs, and unapologetic truth-telling, Charlynda helps professionals, parents, veterans, and dreamers reframe failure, reclaim their identity, and build lasting momentum. Each episode ends with practical action steps to help you bounce forward—on your terms.
If you’ve ever felt like the world was watching you fall apart while expecting you to hold it all together—this podcast is for you.
Because your comeback isn’t a someday story. It’s already in motion.
