The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Featuring Donna Campisi, Author, Speaker and stroke survivor.
Welcome to The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show
We discover that our greatest challenges often become our greatest strengths.
Each month, I sit down with remarkable leaders who've transformed adversity into triumph, sharing their inspiring journeys of resilience and renewal. Together, we explore the mindset shifts, practical strategies, and breakthrough moments that turned their setbacks into comebacks.
What you'll discover:
Real stories of people who've learned to bend without breaking, actionable tools to transform stress into strength, and evidence that when we change our story, we change what's possible for our health, relationships, and future.
Like bamboo, we're designed to be flexible.
When we embrace this truth, we don't just survive life's storms - we use them to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before.
Join me as we explore how flexibility builds unshakeable resilience.
Introducing Donna Campisi
Donna Campisi is a passionate woman, inspiring people around the world to turn their dreams into reality by hosting a podcast called Ready! Set! Goal! She is a Keynote Speaker, Author, Coach, Mentor and Adventurer.
Donna inspired many people with her stroke to marathon challenge; from only being able to run 30 tentative steps in 2012 (after a childhood stroke and diabetes) to completing her marathon goal in 2013, while encouraging many along the way that there’s no such thing as can’t… AND raising funds for the RCH Foundation.
Donna coaches’ people to achieve their goals and step outside their comfort zone by organising awesome adventure activities, encouraging people to face their fears in a fun and inclusive environment.
She is the author of Turn Dreams into Reality, Inspiration Bible, and The Unlikely Marathoner– proving there really is no such thing as can’t …
Her background includes business development, and mental health and disability support. Donna is qualified in Coaching, NLP Practitioner, is a Trainer and Presenter, and is an Ecommerce Consultant.
Donna’s recent project began with an idea in February 2020, to inspire people to embrace change. She brought 10 inspiring Change Influencers together who have made positive change in their life, mentoring them to share their stories and insights in their compelling chapter. This book is about inspiring readers to embrace and make that change. Donna is very proud to bring this project to life: ‘CHANGE is not a Scary Word – 10 Influencers Leading the Way.’
Donna had a stroke at age 7 that put her in intensive care and she is lucky to be alive. At age 14 she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and has been on a journey from a very young age that has forced her to learn how to survive. In this inspiring interview, Donna said that all the ups and downs that have come in her life have taught her determination and strength. She has had to learn how to crawl and walk again, and a physiotherapist said to her in a session ‘there is no such thing as can’t. Something switched in side of Donna and this became her mantra.
In was in that moment she knew she had a choice and today, Donna has her mobility back and enjoys being an author, podcaster and blogger helping others to master change.
