Beyond Surviving with Rachel Grant

Rachel Grant joins Anne and Michael for an honest and meaningful conversation about healing, resilience, and what it really means to move beyond simply surviving. As a Sexual Abuse Recovery Coach and the creator of Beyond Surviving, Rachel brings both personal experience and professional insight to a conversation about breaking free from the weight of the past and finding a way forward. Together, they talk about the impact of trauma, the importance of connection, shame, relationships, boundaries, and the practical steps that can help people begin to reclaim their lives. Rachel's message is ultimately one of hope—that what happened to us can be part of our story without having to define who we become.
