About

Welcome to Renewed Resilience, my name is Lindsey Van Laar and I am the woman behind the passion for mental health & wellness. I am a wife and mother, born and raised local to Leduc, AB trying to keep it all together, who has had personal experiences of Depression / Postpartum depression, Anxiety, Chronic Illness, Pulmonary Embolism PTSD and a bit more! From these experiences Renewed Resilience was born. 

Going through these experiences, I felt alone and unheard when it came to seeking treatments and help. I was judged and told to suck it up more times then I can count. My mental lows and pleas for help were always brushed away and caused me to shut down and suppress all of the things I was experiencing (you know, fake it until you make it). Although I had family and close friends to lean on, they did not fully get what I was experiencing (which I did not expect them to). I needed a community where I could vent without judgement, hear relatable experiences & to know that what I was going through was nothing to be ashamed of and was NORMAL!

So Renewed Resilience is the very thing that I needed then, and that I see many women, men, teens & kids in our community needing now and always. It is a safe space for women to come together and find support, guidance and solutions to thrive and live their most beautiful life. 

I can not wait for the beautiful Renewed Resilience community to grow and watch each and every one of you live a life full of connection, confidence and freedom.

XOXOXO

I Am Enough Campaign

The I Am Enough campaign was created by Renewed Resilience founder Lindsey Van Laar. It showcases the rawness and reality of mental health in our community. Through the power of story and relatability we are starting to create conversation and are working towards normalizing the stigma surrounding mental health.

Remember your journey will contain many highs and many lows but what we want you to know is that your story matters, your experiences are valid and there is no shame in what it is you do experience.

You are worthy, you are resilient, you are enough

Stay tuned for the incredible stories of nine inspirational women from all walks of life who share their own personal journeys. Through these stories we hope that those in our community will feel seen , heard & understood, opening up a safe space for all to create connection and community.
