In this episode of Pain to Passion Live, I'm diving deep into a heart-to-heart conversation with Rachel Havekost, a remarkable mental health advocate and writer. Rachel's story is about resilience, transformation, and hope, and I can't wait to share it with you!

In our chat, Rachel takes us back to her early years and opens up about her struggles with an eating disorder. She shares how she didn't have many people to relate to during those challenging years, but then how things took a positive turn when she found support through group therapy and hearing others tell their stories. She shares how this experience reshaped her path to healing. As we chat, you'll learn how she found herself on a unique journey of becoming an influential mental health advocate. Rachel's storytelling prowess is remarkable, as you'll see as she breaks down stigmas around depression, eating disorders, and divorce. We dive into her personal journey of self-discovery, learn more about how she's learned to truly value herself, AND hear the coolest story about invitation to the Harvard Mental Health Summit! This episode is a testament to the transformative power of sharing personal stories and its immense impact on the mental health landscape. So, get ready to gain valuable insights and feel inspired to embrace your unique self!
