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 readers 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 read 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.

So different from typical self help books, she's the sister you need to push you forward. Funny enough I unfollowed her after she posted that quarentine is a privilege in her mirror. Hearing of her divorce, I wanted to see if her opinions had changed. She is incredible and a gift to this world. Devoured this book. So grateful.

I've never cried like this reading

I was fortunate enough to be on the launch team for this book. I read it prior to it's release date on September 29th, and than just listened to it again on audiobook, finishing it a few mins ago. I truly believe, that in order to fully understand this book and to appreciate the messages and advise she offers in this book, you need to be living in a hard season, or can empathize with understanding what it is like to live thru grief and trauma. While some parts of the book were a bit repetitive from other books Rachel has written, I still appreciate her knowledge and teaching behind the message's she is always delivering to her community. I myself have been living in a hard season for the past 2 years. What I have taken away from this book, especially Chapter 7 (Show Up) , Chapter 9 (Resilience) and the Hold onto Hope (last part of the book) really resonated with me to start doing the work I need to do to be the person I am ment to be and also the mother I need to be to my children. As a person who suffers from debilitating anxiety and depression and has had a traumatic childhood, this was the push I needed to get myself moving in the right direction. I know I am the one who needs to do the work, but I truly admire Rachel for her honesty and for sharing her hard season's with us. For most, maybe this does not matter to you. But for some, especially one's like myself, I don't have this in my life and this book has inspired me and given me hope. Having Rachel to help guide me along the way inspires me more than she will ever know. And for those who think this book is a "tell all" about her divorce from Dave, nah, your wrong. While she does touch on the subject this isn't a book that is focusing on that. Sorry to disappoint you! Remember that YOU matter. And thank you Rachel for sharing your gift with us and I'm hoping that you will take away from the book what I did, if you are going thru a hard season. 2020 will not win! We will make it thru this :)

This is one of Rach's Best Books!!
