Falling Forward challenges the myth that resilience means bouncing back, revealing instead how real strength is built through vulnerability, uncertainty, and the courage to move forward when life falls apart. Blending cutting-edge science with deeply human stories, Keith Bellizzi offers a powerful, practical guide for navigating loss, illness, and disruption—and discovering how to live fully in the life you never planned

Life doesn’t wait for us to be ready.

Adversity changes us. The question isn’t how to bounce back to “the way things were before,” but how to live fully in the life we have now, with strength, meaning, and lasting resilience.

I help individuals, professionals, and caregivers navigate life’s toughest challenges with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

I specialize in supporting people who are ready to reclaim control over their lives, including those who have experienced:

  • Serious Illness or medical trauma

  • Personal loss or grief

  • Career transitions or burnout

  • Caregiver stress

  • Life-altering challenges

Whether you’re seeking guidance for yourself or a structured program to help you move forward, I provide evidence-based strategies grounded in over 20 years of resilience research.
