In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Resilient Rebel Show, Elian Haan sits down with author, speaker, and spiritual coach Heather Buzzard to talk about resilience, identity, forgiveness, and breaking free from shame.

Heather shares her extraordinary life story — growing up as a Black adopted child in a Caucasian family, navigating identity confusion, racial tension, rebellion, trauma, and ultimately finding healing through faith and forgiveness.

This is a conversation about:

✨ Adoption and finding your birth parents

✨ Breaking generational patterns

✨ Overcoming shame and conditional love

✨ The courage to forgive

✨ Radical personal responsibility

✨ Faith as a foundation for resilience

Heather also shares about her memoir Breaking Shame: Reclaiming My Identity and how writing her story helped her heal and empower others — especially adoptive children searching for belonging.

If you've ever felt different… unseen… misunderstood… or burdened by shame — this episode is for you. You are not broken. You are becoming.

In this raw and powerful episode of The Resilient Rebel Show, I'm going to share the moment everything cracked—and everything began.

From burnout and perfectionism to panic and awakening, I open up about the day I stopped performing, stopped pretending, and finally chose myself. This isn’t about waiting for the world to change. It’s about changing from within. 🎙

In this episode:

• The day I hit my breaking point

• Why courage isn’t born, it’s built

• How trauma, shame, and perfectionism keep us small

• What it really means to rebel from within

• The first steps to reclaiming your voice, power, and presence

This is your invitation to stop shrinking, stop apologizing, and start becoming the version of you that you cannot wait to wake up to.

This is The Resilient Rebel Show—and I’m Elian Haan. Let me be clear...

This is not another show telling you to breathe deeper, hustle harder, or “just think positive.” Nope. This is a space for leaders, high-achievers, entrepreneurs, and truth-seekers who are DONE with burnout, DONE with playing small, and DONE waiting for permission to live fully and boldly. I created this show for the resilient rebels—the ones who’ve been knocked down, overlooked, dismissed… and still chose to rise. Each week, we’re diving into real conversations about:

🧠 Mental health without the sugarcoating

🔥 Resilience that starts in the body

🚫 Burnout that isn’t your fault

📣 Owning your voice, your time, and your damn worth …plus breath resets, mini challenges, and stories that crack you open—in the best way.

This is personal. This is professional. This is transformational. Because healing isn’t soft—it’s savage work. And being unstoppable? That’s an inside job. So if you’re ready to ditch the grind and own your rhythm, to lead with presence not performance… then subscribe now and join the rebel movement. 💥 We’re not playing nice. We’re playing REAL. And it starts right here.

Anxiety isn’t a flaw. It’s a function.

And in this powerful episode of The Resilient Rebel Show, we’re unpacking the truth about anxiety—what it is, how it shows up in the body, and how you can finally stop fighting it and start working with it.

Whether you’re feeling anxious, burnt out, overstimulated, or just tired of pretending you’re fine—this conversation is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What anxiety actually is—and what it’s not

• The difference between anxiety, fear, and burnout

• Why your nervous system goes into overdrive

• How to tell the difference between helpful and harmful anxiety

• Signs of chronic anxiety in your body and mind

• Simple somatic tools to reset your nervous system

• Why “snapping out of it” doesn’t work—and what does

• How to approach anxiety with compassion instead of shame

This is not about diagnosing yourself. It’s about understanding the signals your body is sending—and learning how to respond with awareness and care.

“Anxiety is information. It is not your identity.”

If you’re ready to stop being ruled by anxiety and start feeling safe in your body again, this one is for you.

This one’s straight from the heart.

I spent years waiting for clarity, for the right relationship, the right job, the right timing.

Until I realized… no one was coming. And I was the one holding myself back.

In this episode of The Resilient Rebel Show, I talk about the moment I stopped waiting and started leading.

Not perfectly. Not loudly. Just honestly.

We talk about:

• Taking responsibility for your life
• Rebuilding self-trust
• Breaking old patterns
• And showing up—before you feel “ready”

You don’t need a title to lead.

You don’t need perfect conditions to start.

You just need one clear moment of truth-and the courage to act on it.
