For the next few weeks, we are going into the vault to share past episodes. This week takes us back to January of 2024 where Rachel reflects on what it means to be seen while we’re growing—messy, honest, and beautifully unfinished. From calling out the “disappear and come back different” culture to unpacking the difference between solitude and isolation, Rachel urges us to stop hiding and start showing up—just as we are.
What You’ll Hear:
Rachel’s take on why you don’t need to disappear to reinvent yourself
A story about her own recovery and baptism
Insight on king-like behavior, healthy discourse, and disagreement
A reminder to be kind, call people by name, and notice the helpers
