On Healing and Legacy Through Fiction: Rachel Caplin’s Soul-Stirring Story
What happens when a tech executive discovers writing as therapy for processing her grandmother's dementia? In this powerful episode of Every Soul Has a Story, host Dara Levan converses with Rachel Caplin—VP of Business Development, mother of three, and author of "The Spoon and the Sea." Rachel shares her incredible journey from Australia to Israel, how she met her husband in a destined encounter, and why writing fiction became her unexpected path to healing. Discover how writing helped Rachel process grief, why she initially never intended to publish her book, and how current events in Israel inspired her second manuscript. Listeners will learn about the therapeutic power of writing, balancing multiple passions, and finding joy during dark times. This conversation explores writing as legacy, cultural identity, and how our greatest challenges often birth our most meaningful creative work.
