Resilience with Rebekah

by Rebekah Hansen

Season 1

You Don't Need to Have It All Together—You Just Need to Get Back Up

What do you do when life gives you a swift kick in the shins? When grief changes you. When your health forces you to slow down. When the person you used to be no longer fits the season you're in. And when getting out of bed feels more like crawling than conquering. In this very first episode of Resilience with Rebekah, I share the story behind the podcast and the truth I've discovered through loss, healing, and rebuilding: Resilience isn't about pretending you're okay. It's not about hustling harder. It's not about having the perfect plan. Sometimes resilience looks like resting. Sometimes it looks like grieving. Sometimes it looks like taking one shaky step forward. And sometimes your greatest accomplishment for the day is simply being able to say: "And today, I sailed on." Because getting back up isn't always pretty. Sometimes it's messy. Sometimes it's ugly. Sometimes it's slow. But what matters most isn't how you rise. It's that you rise. If you've ever wondered if you're the only one struggling… If you've ever felt like everyone else has it together while you're just trying to survive… If you've ever needed someone to remind you that you're not alone… This conversation is for you. Together, we'll talk about real life, real struggles, and real resilience. We'll celebrate hard-won victories, walk through the messy middle, and remind one another that no matter what season we're facing— We can get back up.

How Do You Keep Going After Unimaginable Loss

Trigger Warning: This episode contains conversations about grief, miscarriage, infant loss, suicide-related bereavement, domestic abuse, the death of loved ones, and serious illness. If you are walking through a tender season, please listen with care. What do you do when life keeps asking you to carry more than you think you can bear? Many people believe resilience means pretending you're strong or pushing through the pain. But what happens when the losses keep coming... and there are no easy answers? In this deeply moving conversation, Angela shares a lifetime marked by heartbreaking loss—including the death of her sister, losing her husband as a young widow, surviving an abusive marriage, burying her son, pregnancy loss, caring for her mother through dementia, losing her home in a fire, and undergoing open-heart surgery. Through every season, she discovered that resilience isn't about having all the strength—it is about finding the grace to take the next step. Together, we explore: Why you don't have to face grief alone. The difference between happiness and lasting joy. Why "fixing" someone's pain often hurts more than helps. How accepting help is sometimes one of the strongest things you can do. Why grit isn't about never crying—it's about refusing to quit. How God provides grace for today instead of tomorrow's burdens. Whether you're grieving, walking through disappointment, supporting someone you love, or simply wondering how to keep moving forward, this conversation offers compassion, practical wisdom, and hope.

When the Storm Leaves a Mess: How to Rebuild Without Losing Yourself

Sometimes life doesn't just shake us—it leaves us standing in the middle of the damage wondering where to begin. After one of the strongest windstorms I've experienced, I walked outside to find my greenhouse nearly collapsed. The metal supports had broken loose, plants were scattered across the yard, and some of my tiny succulents had disappeared completely. As I began cleaning up, I realized something powerful: The storm had damaged the structure, but it hadn't destroyed its purpose. In this solo episode, I share how that greenhouse became a picture of resilience—and why rebuilding doesn't happen all at once. If you're navigating grief, burnout, unexpected change, leadership pressure, or simply a season where life feels upside down, this conversation will remind you that resilience isn't about pretending you're okay. It's about rebuilding one piece at a time. In this episode we explore: Why storms often leave emotional and physical evidence behind. How to rebuild when you don't even know where to start. The strength found in vulnerability. Why grieving what you've lost doesn't mean abandoning what remains. What healthy resilience looks like for leaders, parents, caregivers, and anyone carrying heavy responsibilities. How allowing trusted people to help you is often one of the strongest things you can do. If you've ever felt like your own "greenhouse" has fallen apart, I hope this episode reminds you that what matters most can still be rebuilt.

Divorce, loss, career upheaval, broken dreams, and unexpected setbacks can leave you wondering if you have the strength to start over. But resilience isn't about pretending you're okay.

Sometimes Hiding Is Healing: The Strength Found in Hidden Seasons

Feeling stuck doesn't mean you've given up. Too many of us beat ourselves up because we're not bouncing back fast enough. We wonder why we're not stronger, doing more, or showing up the way we used to. But what if slowing down isn't failure? While watching tiny crabs along the California coast, I was reminded of something powerful. When they sensed danger, they disappeared into the cracks in the rocks. They weren't quitting. They were protecting themselves until it was safe to move again. Maybe that's where you are right now. Grief. Burnout. Loss. Disappointment. A season that knocked you off course. Here's what I've learned: resilience isn't always pushing forward. Sometimes resilience looks like waiting, healing, and gathering the courage to take one small step back into life. You don't need to apologize for hidden seasons. You don't need applause to grow. And you don't need to rush your healing. Sometimes hiding isn't quitting. It's healing.

The Secret to Resilience Isn't Strength—It's Capacity

⚠️ Content Warning: This conversation touches on mental health and suicide. Please take care of yourself and listen when you feel ready. What if resilience isn't about being stronger? What if it's about becoming capable of carrying more than you ever thought possible? In this powerful conversation, Ann shares a deeply personal journey through marriage struggles, parenting a child battling depression, caregiving, grief, and the difficult moments that test everything we think we know about strength. Together, we explore why resilience isn't simply "bouncing back" from hardship. It's about building the capacity to stay present in pain, have difficult conversations, make courageous choices, and continue moving forward when life feels unfair. You'll discover: • Why pain can become one of life's greatest teachers • The difference between strength and capacity • How healthy communication builds resilience • The role of faith in difficult seasons • Why listening may be one of the greatest acts of love • How the choices we make in hardship shape who we become If you've ever felt overwhelmed by life's challenges, questioned your ability to keep going, or wondered how to find hope in the middle of a difficult season, this conversation is for you.

One Little Girl. One Kiddie Pool. One Big Lesson

What if resilience isn't about being strong? What if it's simply about refusing to let go? While watching my young granddaughter play in the backyard, I witnessed a powerful lesson unfold right in front of me. Determined to move an awkward kiddie pool across the yard, she pulled, struggled, adjusted, and kept going—one small step at a time. It wasn't graceful. It wasn't easy. It wasn't fast. But she never stopped. This simple moment became a reminder that resilience isn't always about strength. Sometimes it's about determination. Sometimes it's about embracing the messy middle. And sometimes it's about taking the next step, even when progress feels slow. If you're facing a difficult season, feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wondering if you're making enough progress, this message is for you.

When Life Brings Tears: Why You Don't Have to Stay Strong All the Time

Sometimes life burns. Grief. Loss. Disappointment. Unexpected change. Seasons that leave you fighting just to keep your eyes open. Many people believe resilience means pushing through, hiding the tears, and pretending they're fine. But true resilience isn't found in never hurting—it's found in knowing when to step back, rest, lean on others, and rise again. Inspired by a simple moment with her four-year-old granddaughter helping chop onions, Rebekah Hansen shares a powerful reminder: you don't have to stay strong every second to keep moving forward. If life has knocked the wind out of you, this message will encourage you to stop pretending you're okay, give yourself permission to heal, and remember that this season is temporary. The tears won't last forever. There is hope on the other side. Resilience isn't about never falling. It's about getting back up. --- Connect with Rebekah Hansen Rebekah Hansen is a keynote speaker and resilience leadership coach who helps leaders, organizations, and individuals navigate adversity, build resilience, and lead with hope through life's toughest seasons. 🌐 [www.rebekahhansencoach.com](http://www.rebekahhansencoach.com) 📧 [rebekah@rebekahhansencoach.com](mailto:rebekah@rebekahhansencoach.com) If you're looking for a speaker for your conference, leadership event, women's gathering, or organization, connect with Rebekah to bring practical and hope-filled resilience strategies to your audience.

She Lost Everything She Knew—Then Discovered How Strong She Really Was

What happens when the life you've known for years suddenly falls apart? When relationships end, identities shift, and the future feels uncertain, it's easy to wonder if you'll ever feel strong again. But sometimes the hardest seasons reveal strengths we never knew we possessed. In this episode, we explore what it means to rebuild after heartbreak, rediscover your voice, establish healthy boundaries, and learn that resilience isn't about avoiding life's blows—it's about getting back up after them. Joining me is Courtney Wilson, founder of Sincera, who is changing the way people understand healthcare coverage through education, transparency, and personalized solutions. Beyond her professional work, Courtney shares her deeply personal story of leaving an unhealthy relationship after 18 years, rebuilding life as a single mom, and discovering confidence, strength, and purpose she never knew she had. Together, we discuss: ✨ Rebuilding after major life changes ✨ Why your support system matters more than you think ✨ Moving beyond people-pleasing and finding your voice ✨ Recognizing red flags and creating healthy boundaries ✨ Protecting your peace without hardening your heart ✨ Why resilience is about getting back up—again and again One of Courtney's most powerful reminders: "Get knocked down nine times, get up ten." If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to start over, this conversation is proof that strength often shows up after life has brought you to your knees. --- ## Connect with Rebekah Hansen Rebekah Hansen is a keynote speaker and leadership resilience coach who helps leaders, teams, and organizations navigate adversity, embrace change, and develop the resilience needed to lead well through life's challenges.
