Rachel Rose

Rachel Rose is the writer and content creator behind Rachel v Rose - a self-development and lifestyle blog with a mission to motivate, inspire, and encourage others to live a more positive and fulfilled life. Inspired by Rachel’s journey to her highest self, she draws on her personal experiences to share advice and tips and tricks to infuse more self-love, positivity, joy and inspiration into our lives.

In today’s episode Rachel shares her journey becoming a mother at a young age, and how she struggled against fear, anxiety, and shame. “How did my plans for my future fail? Why did I get myself into this?” - these are two questions that Rachel asks herself at the beginning of her story, and they’re both profound and incredibly introspective. Her honest and vulnerable reflections on these two questions, along with what it meant for her to become a mother, will remind you that you have the power to shift and shape your perspective. Her words on the difficulties she faced, her battle with depression and emotional setbacks, and how she shifted her mindset to one of joy and love despite what she was experiencing, will remind you that the light in our lives arrives when we least expect it, and it’s up to us to embrace that light when we find it.

Her strong, beautiful, and powerful words for teenage mothers and women will stop you in your tracks. Rachel is a voice and a soul to remember, and I’m so grateful for her courage this week. Today, Rachel has created a beautiful, safe and insightful space for all of us to continue to learn and grow. Through her blog and YouTube channel she provides support and ideas to help others become their truest, best selves. She candidly shares her experiences with others, and she truly knows who she is and her purpose in helping, encouraging, and motivating others who have been through similar experiences. Her strong sense of gratitude will remind you that every experience serves a purpose, and often that purpose is to serve as an example of what’s possible.

I feel like I have such a huge purpose now in my life, and it’s not just to be the best mother and provide the best life and example to my daughter. But to support, encourage, and motivate others who go through situations like I did.
