When Emilee Pearson was born with cystic fibrosis, her parents were told she likely wouldn't live into her teenage years. Today, she's 46 years old, celebrating 24 years of marriage, preparing to become a grandmother, and living a life filled with miracles she never imagined possible.

In this deeply moving conversation, Emilee shares how she learned to place God's promises above medical predictions, how faith carried her through life-threatening illnesses, motherhood, gestational surrogacy, the possibility of a lung transplant, and the breakthrough medication that completely changed the course of her disease.

But this episode isn't just about surviving impossible odds. It's about learning to see God's hand in ordinary moments. It's about choosing hope when fear feels easier. It's about believing that miracles didn't stop in scripture—they're happening all around us today. Whether you're facing a health crisis, grieving unanswered prayers, or simply wondering if God still sees you, this conversation will remind you that He is still writing miracles.

In this episode we discuss: • Living beyond a terminal diagnosis • Choosing faith over fear • Recognizing modern-day miracles • Motherhood through impossible circumstances • Gestational surrogacy and trusting God's timing • Why science and faith work together—not against each other • Developing "a believing heart" • Finding God's hand in everyday life • What it truly means to rise I hope you'll listen with an open heart.

I have a feeling this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

In this uplifting and honest conversation, Rachel sits down with religious educator, speaker, and digital missionary Sonrisa Hasselbach to explore joy, confidence, faith, and the courage to keep showing up—even when life feels hard.

Known for blending gospel truth with humor, Sonrisa shares how her love of making funny videos eventually merged with her testimony of Jesus Christ, creating a unique ministry of encouragement online.

Together, Rachel and Sonrisa discuss why joy isn't merely the result of favorable circumstances but a divine attribute woven into our purpose as children of God. They also dive into the story of the woman with the issue of blood, the difference between worldly confidence and divine confidence, and how many women unknowingly sabotage themselves through negative self-talk. Sonrisa offers a powerful perspective on repentance—not as shame, but as turning toward Christ whenever our thoughts drift away from truth.

If you've ever struggled with comparison, imposter syndrome, discouragement, or feeling "not enough," this episode is a reminder that confidence doesn't come from perfection. It comes from trusting the Savior and moving forward anyway.

What does it look like to find God in the middle of ordinary life? In this heartfelt conversation, Rachel sits down with Institute teacher Kathryn Davis to discuss faith, relationships, young adults, and the life-changing practice of recognizing God's hand in our daily lives. Kathryn shares what she's learned from teaching thousands of young adults, why today's rising generation gives her tremendous hope, and how one simple practice—recording where she sees God each day—changed the way she views challenges, uncertainty, and unanswered prayers. Together, they discuss: • Why your relationship with God impacts every other relationship in your life • The relationship we often neglect most: our relationship with ourselves • What young adults are carrying emotionally and spiritually today • Why so many people feel "behind" in life • Learning to trust God when doors close • How to recognize God's hand in everyday moments • The power of recording spiritual experiences • What today's youth are teaching us about choosing faith • Why hard things often lead to deeper conversion • How to support and encourage the rising generation One of Kathryn's most beautiful reminders is that if God is working miracles in the lives of those around us, He is working in ours too—even when we can't yet see it. Whether you're navigating uncertainty, parenting young adults, preparing to serve a mission, or simply trying to feel closer to the Savior, this conversation will leave you with greater hope and a renewed desire to look for God's hand in your life.

In this powerful episode of She Rises, Rachel sits down with Heidi Lyn Campbell—speaker, leadership mentor, and coach—to talk about confidence, calling, and trusting God when life doesn’t unfold the way you planned.

Heidi shares her personal journey as a self-described “late bloomer”—navigating years of unexpected waiting, building a career she never planned, and wrestling with questions during some of her hardest seasons. Through it all, one thing remained constant: her commitment to staying anchored in her relationship with the Savior.

Together, Rachel and Heidi explore what it looks like to trust God’s timing, especially when you don’t yet have evidence that things will work out. Heidi shares how those early seasons of waiting became the very foundation that later carried her through infertility, marriage, and building a blended family.

This conversation also dives into the confidence gap many women experience. Drawing from her background in executive coaching, Heidi opens up about why so many capable, talented women feel like imposters—and how we can begin to recognize our gifts, own our strengths, and lead in a way that feels authentic.

You’ll walk away with practical, powerful tools for:

-Letting go of comparison and embracing your unique leadership style Delegating with clarity (and without frustration)

-Setting boundaries that protect your energy and calling

-Leading with both accountability and grace

-Showing up with confidence—even when you don’t feel ready

Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that your life is not off track. God is not behind. And you are not lacking. Rather, you are being shaped into the woman you’re meant to become.
