Welcome back to another episode of Let Fear Bounce!

Today’s guest is living proof that resilience and determination can turn the impossible into reality. At just 14 years old, Nick’s parents were told he might never walk, talk, or even eat on his own again after a life-threatening snowboarding accident. But Nick wasn’t about to let fear or circumstance define him. Less than 90 days later, he didn’t just walk—he ran—out of the hospital, defying every odd stacked against him.

Now a nationally recognized motivational speaker and 3X best-selling author, Nick has dedicated his life to inspiring others to rise above setbacks. He created the S.T.E.P. System—Support, Trust, Energy, Persistence—a framework that empowers people to push through obstacles and reach their fullest potential.

Through his movement, Common Goal, Nick shows us that challenges aren’t barriers, but the very foundation for growth, resilience, and success. His story is powerful, his energy contagious, and his message one you don’t want to miss.

So grab your coffee, settle in, and join me as we welcome Nick Prefontaine to the Let Fear Bounce podcast!

Today, I welcome Matina Singh to Let Fear Bounce.

Her story is one of courage, resilience, and transformation. Over a year after leaving an unhealthy marriage, she found herself sitting in the silence of her living room—still wrestling with doubts, legal battles, financial strain, and motherhood. She had left, but she hadn’t yet healed.

Was the abuse really that bad? Maybe he was right... Maybe I’m not good enough.

Instead of accepting that pain as her new reality, Matina asked herself a powerful question: What if there’s another way? That spark set her on a journey of relentless self-discovery.

Matina has made it her mission to help others find emotional freedom and empowerment from past pain.

Get ready for a conversation filled with raw honesty, hope, and inspiration. Please join me in welcoming the amazing Matina Singh.
