Frequently Asked Questions

Chaundra McGill is a resilience coach, YouTube creator, an author, as well as a disability and emotional wellness advocate based in Jacksonville, Florida. She shares her own story of surviving and rebuilding on her channel, My So-Called Disabled Life. Chaundra served the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Jacksonville in several roles, including as a Sharing Hope ambassador, a moderator for online and in-person support groups, and publicly speaking about her mental health journey, while explaining NAMI's services and resources. She was named NAMI Jacksonville’s 2024 Volunteer of the Year. Chaundra's work is built around one belief: you will survive, and you’re built to rise.

Resilience coaching helps you get through a hard chapter and rebuild afterward. We focus on the present and the future: getting steady, making sense of what happened, rebuilding your sense of self, and creating a plan to move forward. I use my Built to Rise framework, grounded in resilience research and my own lived experience. Resilience coaching is not therapy. I don't diagnose or treat any conditions, and it works well alongside medical or mental health care you already have.

Coaching is for adults who are steady enough to work toward goals but feel stuck, alone, or unsure how to rebuild. That might be after a medical diagnosis, becoming disabled, chronic illness, loss and grief, a major life transition, or stress and burnout. If you're in crisis or need treatment for a mental health condition, a licensed professional is the right first step. You can call or text 988 any time.

Built to Rise is my four-stage framework (Steady, Make Sense, Rebuild, Rise) for rebuilding after life's hardest chapters, one stage at a time. You can read how it works on the Coaching page.
