In this heartfelt episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim speaks with Rebecca Warke to explore the inspiration behind her powerful new book, Take a Hike. Written in the aftermath of heartbreak, the book chronicles Beck’s deeply personal journey from loss and self-abandonment to healing, self-discovery and coming home to herself. Together, they unpack the lessons hidden within life’s most challenging seasons, discussing attachment patterns, people pleasing, relationship dynamics and the unconscious beliefs formed in childhood that can shape the way we love and relate to others. Beck shares how what once felt like a complete breakdown ultimately became the breakthrough that transformed her life.

Throughout the conversation, Beck offers gentle yet practical wisdom for anyone navigating grief, change or the process of rebuilding themselves. She explains how small acts of self-care, learning to honour personal boundaries and keeping promises to yourself can create lasting transformation. Kim and Beck also explore parenting through difficult times, the importance of modelling resilience, and how self compassion becomes the foundation for true healing. Filled with hope, honesty and practical tools, this episode is a beautiful reminder that the hardest climbs often lead to the most breathtaking views, and that no matter where you are on your journey, it is always possible to find your way back to yourself.

About Rebecca
Rebecca Warke is an author, entrepreneur, adventurer, and single mother of two who is passionate about helping people navigate life’s biggest transitions with courage, honesty, and self-awareness.

Her debut book, Take A Hike, was born from one of the most transformative periods of her life. Through heartbreak, healing, self-discovery, and personal growth, Rebecca found herself asking the same questions many people face when life doesn’t go to plan: Who am I now? What am I meant to learn from this? And how do I find my way back to myself?

Drawing from her own lived experience, Rebecca writes with vulnerability and authenticity about love, loss, resilience, attachment, forgiveness, spirituality, and the journey of rebuilding a life that feels aligned and meaningful. Her work extends to in person workshops and group hikes to support and hold space for anyone navigating change, grief, or personal transformation.

When she’s not writing, Rebecca can be found exploring the outdoors, spending time with her children, playing AFL, in the gym, building business, chasing new adventures, and creating a life centred around freedom, connection, and meaningful experiences.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self love means to keep the promise you made yourself.

Her favourite quote is: The best views come after the hardest climbs.

Quotes:
Life did evolve, a relationship ended and I found myself in a space of feeling quite lost as to who I was.
I was overanalysing, overthinking, I was looping, I’m trying to fix something that can’t be fixed, make sense of something that no longer made sense.
The way for me to get those thoughts out was to write.
My intention was to bring some sanity back to myself.
It felt a little bit like a book I would like to read.
I couldn’t even get myself to do the things that make me feel like me.
I didn’t know who I was anymore.
It took many months to appreciate that it was a breakthrough.
These things happen for us to really come home to ourselves.
This experience has allowed that door to open for me to realise that it is a breakthrough, and it is an opportunity for me to really come home to me.
The book has been the way that I processed that and made that progress.
It is part memoir, reflection and self help.
It is designed to meet people where they are at on their journey, wherever that may be.
I have given myself full permission to prioritise myself.
I abandoned myself so many times and my ambitions and my desires.
It is like you become an observer rather than a participant.
We are following the map that was imprinted in us as children.
I was also operating from a space of safety and survival.
The maps can be redrawn.
Healing while you still have to parent, still have to show up for work, still have to put a roof over your kids’ head, still have to feed them, is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do.
When you start connecting with yourself and start seeing yourself and start loving yourself, you celebrate those things instead of putting yourself down.
I promised myself I would not lose myself in love again.
We are going to have challenging times. If we can navigate them, take one step in front of the other, the view at the top is bliss.
