At twenty, she found her father after a fatal accident. At forty, she lost her husband to cancer. And somehow—she found herself again.

In this deeply human conversation, lifestyle and beauty creator Rachael Potash shares how she turned unimaginable loss into a story of reinvention, healing, and hope. Now a mom of two and a bonus mom to four, she's helping women over 40 feel seen, confident, and hopeful again through fashion, beauty, and honest storytelling.

Rachael opens up about:

💔 Losing her husband at 40 and rebuilding her life from scratch 💫 Navigating motherhood, grief, and a blended family of six kids 💋 Finding love again — and redefining beauty, confidence, and identity in midlife 🧠 Choosing better instead of bitter, and learning to honor both joy and loss

This is not a story about tragedy. It's a story about rebirth — the kind that happens when you decide your second act will be your strongest.
