40 to 40 Series, Week 6: Confirming and Questioning My Stance on Religion

40 to 40 Series, Week 6: Confirming and Questioning My Stance on Religion In this episode, Rachel is wrapping up the 40 to 40 series with the controversial topic of Religion.  Rachel grew up in a devout Catholic family, and was accustomed to the rituals and traditions that defined her early years—attending Catholic school, participating in weekly mass, and going through various sacraments like baptism and first communion. She recounts her journey through Catholicism, the doubts that surfaced, and how these experiences prompted her to question if this faith truly resonated with her personal beliefs and values. Transitioning from a strictly religious upbringing to an agnostic stance opened Rachel's mind to a broader spectrum of belief systems, allowing her to maintain a non-judgmental outlook. We explore the significance of cultivating personal spirituality outside the confines of organized religion, and how moral and ethical values have consistently guided her life. Emphasizing the importance of self-pride and authenticity, she reflects on how these principles contribute to a fulfilling existence. Finally, prepare for an exciting future at The Business of Apparel Podcast, which will kick off with a rebranding announcement!  So, stay tuned, and don't miss it!   In this episode, you'll hear: -Rachel's Catholic background and a history of sacraments in the Catholic church. -When Rachel started to question her relationship with Catholicism and the church. -Some of the challenges Rachel started to see in regard to her values. -Why Rachel was devastated after being told she couldn't be saved and was going to Hell. -How being Agnostic is a much better fit at the moment for Rachel.     Purchase the Business of Apparel Online Course: https://www.thebusinessofapparel.com/course To connect with Rachel, you can join her LinkedIn community here: LinkedIn.
