Lisa Bien, a professional marketing strategist and Temple Public Relations Professor, created Bouncing Back in an effort to give Temple students and other viewers insight into their own misgivings concerning self worth while presenting real life examples of personal struggle with self acceptance.
Finding Your Support System
Host Lisa Bien sits down with Temple student Bo to get his story on how he ‘bounced back’ after years spent trying to reconcile his sexual identity with his family’s conservative values. Bo shares how he learned to accept himself and build relationships outside of his family unit instead of choosing to live a life of self-hatred and duplicity.
Bien is then joined by Dr. Michael Plumeri, founder and director of Life Solutions, who goes into more detail on the importance of surrounding yourself with positive influences.
