🎙️ Overview
In this raw and empowering episode, Rachael Flick shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma, uncertainty, and the challenges of motherhood—a story that she shared at a women’s event to inspire others to keep going, even in the hardest of seasons.
Growing up in a home fraught with mental illness, addiction, and trauma, Rachael took on the role of caretaker from a very young age. By the time she met her husband, Micah, and started their life together, she had already built walls around her heart, guarding herself from the very future she was being called to—motherhood.
Despite her fears and resistance, God’s calling to become a mother was undeniable. Through a life of obedience, faith, and trust in God, Rachael embraced the season of uncertainty and stepping into the unknown. Her story is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability, faith, and perseverance in the face of hardship.
“I had consecrated myself to the Lord, and I said, ‘God, you sit on the throne.’”
In this episode, Rachael opens up about the difficult journey of reconciling her past traumas with her present calling and the courage to keep going, even when it feels impossible.
