About this listen

The New York Times Bestseller

Fear. Grief. Loss. Betrayal. Rachel Hollis has felt all those things, and she knows you have too. Now, she takes you to the other side.

With her signature humor, heartfelt honesty, and intimate true-life stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hollis shows listeners how to seize difficult moments for the learning experiences they are and the value and growth they provide.

Rachel Hollis sees you. As the millions who listened to her #1 New York Times bestsellers Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing, attend her RISE conferences and follow her on social media know, she also wants to see you transform.

When it comes to the “hard seasons” of life—the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job—transformation seems impossible when grief and uncertainty dominate your days. Especially when, as Didn’t See that Coming reveals, no one asks to have their future completely rearranged for them. But, as Rachel writes, it is up to you how you come through your pain—you can come through changed for the better, having learned and grown, or stuck in place where your identity becomes rooted in what hurt you.

To Rachel, a life well-lived is one of purpose, focused only on the essentials. This is a small book about big feelings: inspirational, aspirational, and an anchor that shows that darkness can co-exist with the beautiful.

Amazing

I ended this book in tears. For Rachel going through hard seasons and sharing her story with everyone and then harder for my current season. She is an amazingly beautiful talented soul. I 1000% recommend every book she writes. Especially this one if you’re going through a hard season or have just gone through one. She reminds you how amazing you are and will still be! ❤️

Thank you Rachel

Whether or not we have gone through anything in life as what you spoke of, it’s a blessing to hear the scenarios and how they CAN be best dealt with and overcome in the event something happen. You’ve been such an inspiration to me and I’m sure to millions of others. I can’t wait for your next book! God bless❤️

wonderfully written

After reading the 1 star reviews I was hesitant to read it. BUT its FANTASTIC. Anyone who is going through a rough season needs to listen. Yes, some of the stories are repetitive, but she delves into each story with a little more explanation then the last.
just like every author of a self help book, approach it with an open mind, and take what you need leave the rest. she dies mention several times that these things worked for her, so they are not written in stone. Did I agree with everything? nope. For instance, not letting your kids see you fall apart? I can't get on board with that. we are not robots, we are human and we have BIG emotions that show up when least expected. but the story that resonates with me the most is how she grew up, and the battle that you have to fight to move away from that legalistic up bringing.
GREAT JOB RACHEL!!!!
