035: After Losing So Much, She Discovered What Truly Mattered with Rakel Chafir


Listen Later

Rakel Chafir was 8 months pregnant with her second child and the height of her fitness and coaching career, when one morning she woke up and realized she had completely lost her voice. The vocal polyps that had emerged left her with one option for treatment during her pregnancy – no talking whatsoever, until she could have the surgery she needed several months later. Unable to work or communicate, Rakel and her family relunctantly moved to back to Florence where she would recover from surgery and a year of vocal therapy to regain her voice.

Rakel is a high-performance coach and a world leading body confidence expert who helps women over 40 release the emotional and physical weight that keeps them from experiencing massive success. She's the author of the bestseller Free Your Body: 7 Steps to Get the Body You Desire and the Freedom You Deserve. She's also the creator of Fuel - The Body Resilience Training, a high-intensity body and mind practice created in collaboration with an international team of clinical psychologists and neuroscientists.

Today, Rakel joins Arwen for a conversation about how losing her voice helped her learn what truly mattered - and how this experience changed her life. They talk about the power of reframing, the relief that comes with facing fears, how to let go of emotional weight and the need to control everything, and truly love life.
