  • What's Your Assignment?

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this powerful and transparent new episode of Resilience w/ Dawn Olivia, Dawn opens up about a recent, unexpected health challenge that forced her to pause, reflect, and ask God a deeper question: “What is my assignment?”

    Through raw honesty, scripture, and Spirit-led encouragement, she shares how temporary paralysis became a divine invitation to rest, realign, and rediscover purpose. This conversation speaks to anyone who’s weary, stuck, grieving, or searching for direction. Dawn reminds us that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness, and that every season—especially the hard ones—pushes us closer to our God-given purpose.

    If you’re ready to tap back into your strength, hear God more clearly, and walk boldly into what He has called you to do, this episode will bless you deeply.

  • What Do You Do When You Don't Want to Push Forward?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Life has a way of bringing us to moments where strength feels far away and the weight of tomorrow feels too heavy to lift. In this vulnerable episode of Resilience w/ Dawn Olivia, we talk honestly about those seasons when you don’t want to push forward — when your spirit is tired, your hope feels thin, and you’re questioning how to take the next step.

    Rooted in Joshua 1:9, we explore how God meets us in our weakness, steadies our trembling hands, and reminds us that courage isn’t the absence of fear — it’s trusting Him enough to keep going. If you’ve been exhausted, overwhelmed, or silently struggling, this episode will speak to your heart and breathe strength into your spirit.

    You are not alone. God is with you. And you will rise again.

  • A Letter to My Prodigal Daughter

    Send us Fan Mail

    This episode… is different. It’s not an interview. It’s not advice. It’s a letter — from a mother’s heart to her prodigal daughter. There’s a pain that doesn’t fade… when your child walks away. My youngest daughter — she was home when her brother, Josiah, was murdered. Since that day, she’s been silent… distant. And now, at 21, she’s out in the world… living… but not talking to me.

    I pray for her every single day, not out of control, but out of love.

    Out of hope that God will heal what time and silence have broken.

    The Bible says in Luke 15:20, “While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion.”

    That’s my prayer — that one day, love will bring her home.

    To every parent listening who knows this pain — hold on.

    Keep praying. Keep believing.

    Because restoration is possible.

    I’m Dawn Olivia…and this is Resilience.

    “Because sometimes resilience means trusting God to heal what you can’t touch.”

  • Your Ichabod Season: Stuck in the Wilderness

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this heartfelt solo episode, I open up about what it means to walk through your Ichabod season—a time when God’s presence feels distant or absent and the wilderness seems endless. Drawing from my personal experience and scripture reminds us that even in seasons of silence, God has not departed. Through faith, obedience, and resilience, a breakthrough is still possible. Tune in and be encouraged to get unstuck and rise again, knowing that your wilderness is not your ending—it’s preparation for elevation.

  • Starting Over from Scratch with Corey Barber

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome to Resilience with Dawn Olivia—the podcast where we turn real setbacks into God-led comebacks. Today’s episode is titled “Starting Over from Scratch,” and we’re diving into what it takes to rebuild your life, your work, and your purpose from the ground up.

    My guest is Corey “CBee SUPREME” Barber—a Memphis-based music producer and founder of Impeccable Taste Productions, a veteran-owned company creating original, ad-safe music and branding assets that help small businesses and creators stand out. You’ve seen his work and heard his beats across platforms—from Apple Music and Spotify to SoundCloud—where he continues to release fresh instrumentals and sync-friendly tracks. 

    Corey’s story is about discipline, reinvention, and service—shaped by his years as a U.S. Marine and refined through entrepreneurship in the creative economy.  Today, he’s helping brands level up with custom instrumentals, content, and marketing-ready audio, and he shares that same builder’s mindset with creators starting over. 

    In this conversation, we’ll unpack:

    How to begin again when your plan falls apart—and why “starting from scratch” is actually starting from wisdom.

    Practical steps to craft a new lane: skill-stacking, daily systems, and learning in public.

    Faith, humility, and perseverance when progress feels painfully slow.

    Branding lessons from music production that any entrepreneur can apply today.

    If you’re in a season of rebuilding, this one’s for you. Take a breath, grab your journal, and let’s step into a fresh start with Corey “CBee SUPREME” Barber.

  • Honor the Struggle

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome back to Resilience with Dawn Olivia, the podcast where faith, healing, and perseverance come together to inspire your journey forward. I’m your host, Dawn Olivia, and today’s episode is one that speaks straight to the soul.

    We’re diving deep into the power of honoring the struggle—not avoiding it, not rushing past it—but truly sitting with it, learning from it, and allowing God’s grace to meet us right in the middle of our pain.

    Joining me is Tom Tenney, author of the deeply moving book The Weight of Grace. Tom has walked alongside many who have endured trauma, broken relationships, and spiritual pain, and through his own personal journey, he’s come to understand that grace isn’t just a comfort—it’s a lifeline.

    In this episode, we talk about what it means to carry your pain with purpose, how healing begins when we stop hiding, and why embracing our vulnerability is one of the most courageous things we can do.

    If you’ve ever felt like your struggle was too heavy to bear, this conversation will remind you that grace is not only present—it’s powerful.

    So, let’s lean in. Let’s grow. And most importantly, let’s honor the struggle.
