Welcome to the Resilient Now Podcast with Liliana Brown

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of the Resilient Now Podcast, host Liliana Brown sits down with Elaine McEwan, a woman whose story is a testament to the kind of strength that’s passed down through generations.

Elaine opens up about the life-altering moment when she and her husband lost their home in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. What began as an ordinary day turned into a fight for survival and stability, as everything they owned—memories, keepsakes, and their sense of security—was wiped away in an instant.

But Elaine’s story is about far more than loss—it's about the power of a strong foundation. She shares how her mother's resilience, wisdom, and unshakable spirit shaped the way she handled one of the most traumatic events of her life.

Through vulnerability and grace, Elaine recounts:

* The emotional and psychological shock of losing her home

* The reality of having to rebuild from the ground up

* The role her mother played in teaching her how to persevere through chaos

* How she supported her husband and herself emotionally through deep uncertainty

* The unexpected clarity and growth that came from starting over

* The importance of gratitude, family, and spiritual strength during rebuilding

Elaine reminds us that resilience isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about transforming in the process. Her calm strength and honest reflections offer wisdom for anyone navigating hardship, grief, or unexpected change.
