Never Quit on a Bad Day: Phebe Trotman on Resilience, Language, and Creating a Life You Love

What if the words you speak could shape your reality and what if the key to moving forward was simply refusing to quit on your hardest days?
In this empowering episode of Message in the Middle, I’m joined by Hall of Fame athlete, award-winning entrepreneur, and bestselling author Phebe Trotman. As the powerhouse behind the Never Quit on a Bad Day book series, Phebe shares her deeply personal philosophy on resilience, the transformative power of intentional language, and what it really means to build a life you love, no matter where you’re starting from.
We dive into the stories that shaped her path, from championship wins and business accolades to the quiet, pivotal moments where choosing her words, and her mindset, changed everything. Whether you’re feeling stuck, questioning your direction, or just looking for a spark of hope, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone… and you’re not done.
We explore:
🔹 The real meaning behind “Never Quit on a Bad Day”
🔹 What to do when your inner voice becomes your biggest obstacle
🔹 How to spot and shift limiting language into “success language”
🔹 The connection between words, confidence, and forward momentum
🔹 Why being an “impact player” starts with self-leadership
🔹 How to balance hustle with healing
🔹 And the message Phebe wants every midlife woman to hear
This one’s for the woman who’s strong but tired, driven but questioning, and ready to start speaking success into existence. You’ll walk away with both practical tools and a full heart.
