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.

Touched my heart

Only in a way that Rachel Hollis can, she told the story of the hard times in her life and how to find joy. Its heart was heart wrenching and funny.

Thank you for caring enough to write this, Rachel!

In listening to this book, I found myself very motivated to get through it. I also found myself wanting to listen a second time so that I am sure to process and heed the gems within. Thank you, again, Rachel.

Amazing as always!

This book couldn’t have come at a better time. I know so many of us are trying to make it through tough things and to add Covid on top of it. Rachel always delivers a great book you can count on for motivation and ideas to make life better! Thank you for opening up about the hard stuff so we can learn and grow with you!

How to stand back up!. Again. And again

Rachel Hollis has created a community and a business that feeds the needs of many people. This book opens readers to a more authentic view of challenges and Rachel’s head on approach to deal with those challenges during a very vulnerable space in time. Practical advice to come out the other side of any hardship having learned something from it and continuing to show up in a desired way. Practical advise to sit with something that is hard rather than try to make it disappear. Dig in. There’s something here for everyone.

Thankful for the guidance

This has helped me realize that even though my darkest of times are because I was negligent with my decisions and the hurt I caused to the one closest to me, I can rebuild and deserve happiness.
I deserve to not be guilty and belittled no matter what I do to rectify what I've done. Lacey Graham

Lovingly encouraging

Rachel's perspective is one that can be received by so many, no matter the circumstances. I found myself thinking of myself and many loved ones as I listened, my grief and theirs. All unique. And Rachel speaks to anyone who can hear it. I am so grateful for her elegant way of sharing her world, the good and the awful, that allows us all to relate a little more to the lessons she's learned and the relief and support she's trying to offer. Beautiful book for anyone who finds themselves hurting and still wanting to hope.
