8,000 Setbacks by 18 / 📉 Why the comeback matters more

🔥 FACT: Nearly 1 in 3 teens say they feel “numb” when life hits hard.
But feeling numb doesn’t mean you’re done.

Lola was 18, the heartbeat of her high school band, chasing her dream gig… until a crash fractured more than her wrist. It cracked her identity.

But thanks to her brother and one powerful line—
🗣️ "What happens to you isn’t the story. How you respond is."
—she found a new rhythm.

🎶 She couldn’t play drums… so she wrote lyrics.
She couldn’t perform… so she led rehearsals.
She didn’t break—she bent, rebuilt, and took the stage with her story.

📍Mental isn’t about avoiding pain. It’s about turning it into purpose.
Whether you’re off beat, in a cast, or carrying quiet hurt—this episode is your reminder:
The beat goes on. So do you.

🎧 Tune in, rebuild, and show up—sticks or no sticks.
