About Rachel

Rachel Dawn met and married her “prince charming” young (as many small-town girls do), and embarked on an exciting life, certain she was destined for success and happiness.

Then, it all fell apart.

By 25, she found herself divorced, discouraged, disenchanted, and starting over. The lessons she learned during this time allowed her to rebuild her life, regain her confidence, and reignite her dreams. (You can read this whole story in her book Now What? A Story of Broken Dreams and the God Who Restores Them)

In 2021, she was promoted to mom. But, just three-and-a-half weeks later, her only brother died by suicide. She has spent the years since studying grief and the fallout that comes from such a traumatic loss.

She writes and speaks with raw transparency and vulnerability, telling impactful stories from her own life. While reading or listening, it feels as if you’re chatting one-on-one over coffee with a friend. Her journey and words have inspired countless others not only to persevere but also to heal and thrive through grief and grieving.

Today, she has a wonderful husband, an adorable son, two accidental cats, and a mission to help others find hope and freedom after devastating pain.
