When the Doula Becomes the Healer: Rachel’s Journey Through Trauma and Grief


Listen Later

Rachel Pinkerton’s life has been marked by one deep initiation after another — narcissistic abuse, widowhood, single motherhood, and the complex pain of estrangement. But through it all, she has chosen service over silence.

In this episode, Rachel shares how her lived experience led her to become a trauma-informed doula for women escaping domestic violence and, later, a death doula walking with grieving families. Her story is layered, raw, and full of sacred redemption. She reminds us that even in our deepest grief, God can equip us to hold space for others — and still be held by Him.
