How losing everything helped Rebecca find her true purpose…
She escaped the flames with barely her life… but what came next was even more transformative!
In today’s episode of Break Free, we meet Rebecca Jane Gibby, a Naturopathic Healing Coach and Detox Specialist based in Perth, Australia.
After losing her home in the devastating Maui fires, she didn’t just rebuild, she rose with a mission. Just four months into launching
her business, Rebecca of the Sun, she’s already helping others detox, heal, and reconnect to their bodies through the power of raw
food and soulful alignment.
But this story isn’t just about health. It’s about what happens when life strips you down to the core… and you choose to rise anyway!
A Wake-Up Call from the Universe
Rebecca was once just a traveler and artist, floating freely after years of chronic illness.
For a long time, she lived with undiagnosed neurological problems, painful, confusing, and debilitating.
She felt stuck in her body and unsure of how to heal.
Everything changed when she discovered the power of living foods.
She didn’t just get better. She transformed, physically, emotionally, spiritually.
But it wasn’t until a devastating fire in Maui, Hawaii, that she truly woke up to her mission.
In 2023, she lost her home in the fires. Nearly lost her life.
It was a moment of reckoning.
“If I had died, what would I want to be remembered for?” she asked herself.
The answer was clear: “Healing others. Living by my truth.”
Starting Over with Purpose
That moment became the fuel for her next chapter.
Rebecca didn’t come from a business background. She had no tech skills, and she wasn’t sure how to promote herself online.
It took months to get her website up and running with more headaches than she expected. But she kept going…
Because this business wasn’t just a project. It was her calling…
She launched Rebecca of the Sun, a practice focused on helping people heal naturally, through raw foods, mindset shifts, and reconnecting with the body.
Her goal?
To help others feel energized, lighter, and aligned. Especially those willing to make real changes.
The Realness Behind the Rise
Running a business hasn’t been smooth sailing.
Rebecca still struggles with self-promotion and putting out consistent content.
She worries sometimes.. will people trust this way of healing?
Will they react badly to the detox?
Will she get enough clients?
But despite the doubts, she grounds herself in her truth:
She’s a healer. This is who she is..
And whether her business is booming or slow, that core identity keeps her going..
From Clients to Community
Her favorite part? Hearing from clients who feel alive again.
More balanced. More energized. More themselves..
Rebecca’s work isn’t about trends or quick fixes.
It’s about reconnecting to nature, the body, and the wisdom that already exists within.
And even when progress is slow, she trusts in divine timing.
Because sometimes, the detours are exactly what lead us where we’re meant to go.
Wisdom Worth Sharing
If you’re in the middle of a hard season…
If you’re feeling stuck, lost, or unsure where your journey is heading…
Rebecca’s story is a beautiful reminder:
You can rebuild from rock bottom..
You can turn pain into healing..
And you don’t have to follow anyone else’s rules to do it.
Trust your path.. Stay rooted in your purpose..
And let your healing become someone else’s hope.
