In this episode of Conversations on the Porch, host Steve Twynham speaks with Rachel Smith about the sudden loss of her husband, the intense process of grief, and the vital role community support played in her recovery.

Rachel shares how that experience led her to retrain from teaching into transformational life coaching, offering mindfulness classes, vision workshops, and her Dream Builder program to help others create lasting change.

The conversation highlights practical steps, the power of saying “yes” to life, and how small, consistent actions can open new opportunities and purpose.
