Random Resilience Podcasts

Life On Pause is a podcast for and by young adults living with cancer. Each month, young adult cancer patients from Penn State Health share honestly about their cancer diagnosis, treatment and life afterwards. As cancer causes the group to reflect on issues both large and small, surprisingly relatable stories and themes emerge. From relationships to body functions, nothing is off the table.

Whether it’s health, career, relationships, finances or family. Life doesn’t always go as planned. But that doesn’t mean that in those unplanned moments, crises, challenges or downright devastations your dreams can’t come to fruition. Sometimes it’s the detours that take us to a destination we never could have dreamt of. Pete and Kim Vargas have seen their share of “plot twists”. They’ve been hit forwards, backwards and while it could have been easier to stay down and let their circumstances end the desires and dreams they had in their hearts they chose to continue. They chose to stand back up. Join Pete and Kim each week as they share stories of their own, as well as everyday people, talk about how their “plans” didn’t go so perfectly. However, through adversity, they came to discover their Not So Perfect Plan was indeed perfect for their story. Learn how to take life’s challenges, and start seeing them as an opportunity to grow, stay strong and become resilient.

I’m Talkin to You, I’m Talkin to Me Too is a heartfelt podcast where I, Danielle To You, embrace the courage to be seen. Each episode offers “mirror moments”—raw, soulful reflections on my ongoing journey of healing, releasing past traumas, and rediscovering who I am. This is for Black women who’ve let pain shape their identity but are ready to gaze into their mirrors, confronting their truths with vulnerability and strength. With a direct, empathetic, and compassionate voice, I share my evolving story to inspire you to share yours, inviting you into a space where self-discovery and reflection spark profound healing. Together, we explore the power of seeing ourselves clearly and stepping boldly into who we’re becoming.

I’ve realized that if I’m not all of me, I’m nothing—done hiding in the shadows, afraid to show my full self. All my mirrors matter, infinite reflections uniting my past, present, and future into one sacred truth. As a Black woman, I stand before these mirrors, honoring every facet—wounds, triumphs, ancestral wisdom, and dreams yet to unfold—to craft a reflection that’s wholly me. I invoke Black women to reflect in all their mirrors, to embrace the old, the new, the pain, and the power, knowing it’s all you. We refuse to enter spaces dimming our light, choosing instead to break the mirror of societal distortions and celebrate the infinite layers of our existence, where vulnerability and courage intertwine to redefine our worth.

What makes this podcast unique? It’s my unfiltered bravery in laying bare my journey, creating a sacred sanctuary for Black women to reflect, release, and grow. In “mirror moments,” we shatter the lies of external narratives, weaving our stories to reflect our shared strength and ancestral resilience. This is a call to honor every dimension of our being—past, present, and future—and to craft reflections that radiate Infinite potential. Together, we build a space where our infinite mirrors liberate us, empowering us to redefine our worth as Black women. Subscribe to I’m Talkin to You, I’m Talkin to Me Too for soul-stirring conversations that inspire us to heal, shine, and embrace our true selves.

So many of us have been shaped to believe it “takes balls” to show courage and get big things done. But we’re tired of this old, sexist trope, because we know that it’s regularly women who are pulling on the threads of progress and mustering up the courage to push forward.

It Takes Boobs is a new Women’s Agenda special podcast series supported by Stella Insurance that challenges the long-held stereotype of it “taking balls” to be courageous. It shines a light on stories of female trailblazers who embody courage, grit and resilience from all walks of life.

It Takes Boobs is part of a broader campaign by Stella Insurance that looks to expand our vernacular around bravery, looking at how women exemplify courage in their lives and careers.

This podcast series is produced by Agenda Media, publisher of Women’s Agenda.

In this moment, in these times, how do we orient ourselves? How do we navigate change – the kind we choose and the kind we don’t? And who do we become in the process? What can be revealed – and healed – when we question the stories we tell ourselves about who we think we are? Join award-winning journalist and former network anchor Lu Hanessian as she and special guests explore the living potential of the moment. To better see who and where we are, looking inward, outward, and forward. Captivating conversations with authors and artists, scientists and activists, historians and futurists, trailblazers, storytellers, and change navigators – about the power of big ideas and tiny revolutionary shifts; about the purpose of fear and the anatomy of choice; the paradox of what makes us human; and how to harvest hope in upheaval as we re-imagine our collective maps for making sense of our stories and leveraging the present as living potential. There’s power in this moment: right here between our lived histories and our unlived futures. Right now, between our stuck points and our tipping points for change. Right here, right now, how can we make the foreseeable moreseeable?

We want to be people who believe in God’s goodness, no matter what. But what do we do when life is anything but good? When God doesn’t answer our prayers the way we’ve asked or imagined? Or when disappointments and loss dominate this season of our lives? No stranger to loss and longing, Kelly Streiff creates space to acknowledge deep pain and grief, while walking with us on a journey of becoming “Even If” people – people who stand firm in our faith even if God doesn’t show up the way we expect or desire. Together, we’re navigating these seasons of life, learning how to stand firm when life is shaking, and with resolve in our hearts and, sometimes, with a quiver in our voice, boldly declare God’s goodness in our lives…Even If.
