I have never listened to ANYTHING I could identify more with as a woman living with severe depression and anxiety. Rachel puts words to feelings I’m only beginning to understand and certainly have never be able to verbalize. Rachel, as you tell your story I constantly find myself thinking “I know what she’s feeling. I’ve felt those feelings. Those are my feelings!” Thank you so much for sharing your journey and I hope you keep on sharing.

Brava, sweet Rachel! What a brave and beautiful podcast! Just finished yellow brick road and then our bonus podcast!I feel like I’m curled up by a fire listening to a friend who is fun, funny and illuminating. Thank you for bringing so much joy, compassion and truth to a topic that many people try to push away. You remind us that we are not alone. Love and blessings, Pamela

Reverend Rachel uses her unique creative voice to bring forth what is essential to her experience of life, depression, relationship, identity, and home. Worth every minute, and will leave you eager to learn what comes next. Just, wow!

As someone who also has depression Rev Rachel speaks to my soul. Her story telling is amazing and powerful. Somehow listen to her talk will inevitably put a smile on my face.

Reverend Rachel once saved a woman’s life by listening and literally talking her down off a ledge. She didn’t know the woman in the motel room next door. Yet she saved her. This is only one of the compelling true stories she tells us in the most riveting and entertaining way. Yes, she is a funny, as well as an honest, kind human whose own life was in the balance once, and who uses every gift that depression (“the worst roommate ever”) has given her to talk us all off our various ledges, real or virtual. Every human on earth can benefit by her rich, insightful and wise recounting of a life full of pitfalls and joys. I highly recommend it.

If you or someone you know is living with depression (which pretty much means everyone) this podcast is an excellent companion on the journey. Rev. Rachel strikes a wonderful balance of authenticity, compassion, humor and hope.
