Steve Melman is a psychotherapist who turned his childhood struggles into a narrative of self empowerment. Initially diagnosed as learning disabled, he took the statement as a challenge.

Steve reframes setbacks as “bumps in the road” rather than failures, Reframing a challenging narrative as a temporary state of affairs and even as a challenge, he talks about moving ahead in spite of harsh words and other setbacks. He likens life to a long road trip, where the journey is as significant as the destination, reminding people that life is not just about achievements but also about the experiences we gather along the way.

Steve’s insights remind us that while life may present obstacles, it also offers countless opportunities for growth and fulfillment. It's all a matter of words, and you get to choose your own story.
