This week on Behind Beautiful Things, we sit down with Rachel, author of the powerful new memoir As Is. In this deeply moving conversation, Rachel opens up about her upbringing in an isolated religious community, the trauma her family endured, and the healing journey that followed.

Through yoga, self-discovery, and resilience, Rachel found a path toward freedom and peace—and she shares the lessons that helped her rebuild her life.

If you’re drawn to stories of healing from trauma, personal transformation, and spiritual growth, this inspiring episode is one you won’t want to miss.
