This episode is an unforgettable conversation with the radiant, resilient, and fiercely authentic Rachel Fitzpatrick—a Kentucky-born project executive, yoga teacher, and transformational coach who has walked through fire and come out shining.

Rachel shares the deeply personal story of how a life she carefully built during the pandemic crumbled—and how she chose to recover with clarity, power, and vision. From an unexpected pregnancy and the purchase of her dream home to an emotionally and physically unsafe relationship that ended with a restraining order, Rachel’s story is one of grit, grace, and reclaiming identity.

What I love most about Rachel’s recovery journey is how she moves from survival to self-expression—from shame to sovereignty. She opens up about the moment she knew she had to protect herself and her unborn child, how sobriety cracked her wide open, and why she now sees every invitation to healing and growth as sacred.

You’ll also hear us dig into:

• How childhood dreams shape our adult decisions
• Why "selling" as a woman can feel so vulnerable—and how to reframe it
• The energetic shift that happens when you finally say NO to what feels wrong
• What it means to choose safety, even when it’s terrifying
• Why grace, forgiveness, and firm boundaries can coexist

Whether you’re recovering from a toxic relationship, an outdated identity, or a season of surviving instead of thriving, this episode is a love letter to your own resilience.
