Conversations with Rachel
Welcome to my media library—a space where I share conversations from the heart. Via podcasts, and videos, I speak openly about the themes that guide my work: grief, identity, transition, and the complexity of holding space for others and ourselves. Whether I’m speaking about supporting LGBTQ+ individuals in traditional communities, the many faces of grief, or how we adapt through life’s changes, these videos are meant to educate, uplift, and connect. I invite you to listen in—and perhaps find something that speaks to your own journey.
