This was not an easy interview. Rachel’s story is heartbreaking, yet it's also a remarkable testament of hope and faith. Rachel and her husband Shane had a daughter, Kenadie. In 2018, they lost her to cancer. She was only ten years old, and grief shattered their lives. But amidst the darkness, signs began to appear—glimmers of hope, whispers of connection, and a path to something greater.

Rachel now runs an instagram page titled for11_together, a site dedicated to sharing stories of connection.

I didn't realize until the end of the interview, but this was Rachel's first time ever as a guest on a podcast. When she told me this, I was so grateful—this was a powerful and emotional conversation.
