Confidence in Christ: Reclaiming Your Identity and Living Free from Perfection

Do you ever find yourself asking, “Who am I, really?”

In this inspiring conversation, Rachel joins Bridget Aguirre to share her personal journey of discovering true confidence—not through striving, achieving, or doing it all—but through knowing who and whose you are.

Together, they unpack what it means to find peace in identity, freedom in surrender, and purpose in faith. Rachel opens up about the turning point that shifted her from burnout and pressure to rest and confidence rooted in Christ.

If you’ve ever tied your worth to what you produce, how you perform, or what others think, this episode is your reminder that your value isn’t defined by titles, numbers, or perfection. It’s found in your Creator.
