Winning the Crown - with Rachel Slawson - Part II

Miss Utah 2020 brings here encore performance to the studio with America's Podcaster, Kurt Caceres, and opens up raw and unfiltered about her bipolar disorder, bisexuality, and the multiple times she tried to take her own life. Growing up watching her father physically assault her mother, gave her PTSD and traumatized a young Rachel for life. She has had to work hard to understand how to have healthy romantic relationships as well as coming to acceptance and going public with her sexuality. Growing up and raised in the Mormon church, she was taught that being gay was wrong, to the point that they would denounce any family that supported a gay child. She had to hide her true self in shame for many years until eventually realizing she couldn't do it anymore. After numerous times competing to win Miss Utah and having plastic surgery to change her body to what she thought the pageants wanted, she attempted to take her own life as a result of her not succeeding in the pageant. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she has now found ways to live a healthy lifestyle mixed with the right amount of medication to live a normal and balanced life. This young woman has overcome more obstacles before 25 years old than most experience in a lifetime. She is an example and inspiration for all the youth out there who are battling the same demons.
