How Telling the Truth About Your Past Can Set You Free

What happens when you stop hiding the hardest parts of your story? Rachel Blogg welcomes author, speaker, and content creator Rachel Sobel for a deeply honest conversation about surviving domestic violence, navigating breast cancer, raising resilient kids, and learning that vulnerability can become your greatest source of strength.

Rachel shares how years in an abusive relationship slowly eroded her confidence before therapy helped her recognize herself as a survivor. She opens up about the shame that often keeps people silent, why leaving is rarely as simple as it seems, and the importance of creating safe spaces where difficult conversations can happen without judgment. The conversation also explores parenting in the age of social media, living with ADHD, finding humor during breast cancer treatment, and how embracing every chapter of her story ultimately led to the book she always dreamed of writing. It's an honest reminder that healing doesn't come from pretending life is perfect—it comes from telling the truth about who you are.
