In this heartfelt episode of the Forgive Yourself podcast, I welcome Rachel Vasquez, a transformational public speaker dedicated to inspiring change, hope, resilience, and empowerment for individuals creating a new life after loss. Rachel specializes in guiding women and their children through grief, helping them cope with loss, find strength, and embrace healing by awakening joy.

Grief can come in and it can present like depression, bringing up anxiety, bringing up insecurities and questioning of our self worth.

Rachel shares her profound journey of loss, including the tragic death of her husband in 2018, and how it catapulted her into a mission of supporting others through grief. She discusses the importance of normalizing conversations about grief, both in everyday households and corporate environments, and emphasizes the need for support programs and educational initiatives to foster understanding and compassion.   Rachel’s story is a testament to finding purpose through pain and the transformative power of embracing joy amidst grief. She offers insights into the mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional aspects of grief, and how these affect our overall well-being. Rachel also touches on the unique challenges faced by widows and their children, and provides valuable tips for effective communication and support within grieving families.

Transitions always bring some sort of grief. And we can not connect it just to major losses, but the minor losses too, or the minor things that we go through…   …if we don’t address them, they do build up and affect our overall well being.

Join us as we dive deep into Rachel’s mission, her work with the Modern Widows Club, and her efforts to bring grief education into corporate settings. Her passion and wisdom are sure to inspire and uplift anyone navigating the difficult journey of loss.   Whether you’re facing a personal loss or seeking to support someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights and encouragement.
