69: Opening the Black Box: A Story of Grief and Growth | Rachel Robertson

Rachel shares her journey of rediscovering joy after the devastating loss of her brother at age 14. For years, she searched for validation in external moments, but it wasn’t until becoming a mother that she truly felt light again. Through breathwork, journaling, and self-reflection, Rachel uncovered the emotional blocks that kept her from healing—and found her light inside a metaphorical black box. Her story culminates in the bold decision to open her own Pilates studio, a dream she held for 20 years. This episode is a testament to resilience, self-trust, and the power of showing up for yourself and your family.Find Rachel here:https://www.returntoform.cahttps://returntoform.ca/pilates/workshopscourses/https://www.instagram.com/returntoformkinesiology/Timestamps00:00 - Rachel's Story05:33 - Tools for healing: journaling, breathwork, meditation09:05 - Facing recognition and fear11:38 - Trusting others and letting go13:02 - Role modeling for her daughters16:00 - Studio Meaning#HealingJourney #Breathwork #SelfDiscovery #GriefRecovery #EmotionalHealing #TrueStories  #MentalHealthAwareness #TransformationStory #BreathworkHealing #FindingLight
