Resilience with Rebekah

Rebekah Hansen

RESILIENCE WITH REBEKAH Life gets messy. Discover the strength within. Life can change in an instant. Loss happens. Plans fall apart. Leadership gets hard. And sometimes the seasons we walk through cause us to lose sight of just how strong we already are. On Resilience with Rebekah, we have real conversations with real people about The Strength Within. Together, we talk about grief, faith, leadership, recovery, identity, change, and the difficult seasons that shape us. These are honest conversations about what happens when life doesn't go as planned and how we discover the strength to keep moving forward. Whether you're leading a team, caring for others, rebuilding after loss, navigating change, or simply trying to lead yourself well through a difficult season, you'll find stories, encouragement, and practical wisdom to help you see your own strength differently. Through conversations with leaders, survivors, and everyday people, you'll be reminded that resilience isn't about having all the answers or never struggling. It's about recognizing what life has already built within you and learning to draw from that strength when you need it most. Real conversations. Real people. Real stories of The Strength Within.

    Your Breakdown Is Not Your Destination

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Life has a way of bringing everything to a halt when we least expect it. One phone call. One diagnosis. One job loss. One broken relationship. One moment that leaves you feeling like you're stranded on the side of the road, wondering, "What do I do now?" We often believe resilient leaders always know the answer, but the truth is that resilience isn't about having the perfect plan—it's about taking the next faithful step when the plan falls apart. This message uses an ordinary story about a car breaking down in 104-degree heat to reveal an extraordinary truth: the greatest leadership isn't found when everything is working. It's revealed when everything isn't. Whether you're navigating burnout, unexpected setbacks, grief, career changes, or the weight of leading others through uncertainty, this conversation will challenge you to stop focusing on everything that went wrong and start asking a better question: What's my next step? Every leader experiences moments that feel overwhelming, but resilient leaders refuse to build a life on the side of the road. They adapt, they move forward, and they allow adversity to shape them instead of defining them. Sometimes the breakdown isn't the end of the journey—it's the beginning of the decision that changes everything. ## About Rebekah Hansen Rebekah Hansen is a keynote speaker, leadership trainer, resilience coach, and host of Resilience with Rebekah.

    The Resilience Trap: When Pushing Harder Is Actually Holding You Back

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Many of us have been taught that resilience means pushing harder, working longer, and never letting anyone see us struggle. But what if that's the very mindset that's keeping you exhausted? If you're constantly chasing the next goal, comparing yourself to everyone else, feeling guilty when you rest, or wondering why success still doesn't feel satisfying, you aren't alone. Real resilience isn't about pretending you're strong all the time—it's about building the mindset to recover, adapt, and keep moving forward without losing yourself along the way. In this conversation, you'll discover: ✔ Why pushing harder isn't always the answer ✔ The difference between resilience and self-sabotage ✔ How to build mental toughness without burning out ✔ Why accountability is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself ✔ How simplifying your life can actually accelerate your growth ✔ Why getting back up matters more than never falling down Joining me for this conversation is Austra Putnina, a mental performance and resilience coach who helps athletes, professionals, entrepreneurs, and high achievers develop the confidence, mindset, and mental toughness needed to perform under pressure. Drawing from her background in sports psychology and high-performance coaching, Austra shares practical strategies for overcoming self-doubt, managing stress, and building resilience that lasts far beyond success. Whether you're leading a team, building a business, navigating change, or simply trying to become a stronger version of yourself, this conversation will challenge the way you think about resilience—and leave you with practical tools you can begin applying today.

    The Life Jacket You're Fighting May Be the Very Thing That's Keeping You Afloat

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! What if the very thing you're resisting is the thing that's preparing you for what's next? Most of us don't resist growth because we don't want to become stronger—we resist it because growth often feels uncomfortable. It looks like boundaries that disappoint people, rest when you feel guilty for slowing down, discipline when you'd rather choose convenience, or asking for help when pride tells you to handle it alone. Like a toddler fighting a life jacket she doesn't understand, we often push against the very things designed to protect us and help us mature. This heartfelt story reveals a powerful leadership truth: resilience isn't built in the absence of discomfort—it is built because of it. You'll discover why you don't have to enjoy a difficult season to benefit from it, how healthy boundaries can become your greatest source of strength, and why protecting yourself isn't weakness—it's wisdom. Whether you're leading a team, navigating change, carrying heavy responsibilities, or simply trying to keep your head above water, this conversation will challenge you to ask one life-changing question: What life jacket am I resisting that could actually help me grow?

    How Do You Keep Going After Unimaginable Loss

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! 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

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! 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.

    Sometimes Hiding Is Healing: The Strength Found in Hidden Seasons

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! 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.

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.
