My recovery was a lot of leaning on other people. And life is for me really an amazing experience when I can use the things that I experienced, that in the moments of the pain and the depths of those pain I'm going.
Have you ever wondered how someone overcomes decades of eating disorders and spiritual trauma? In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Rachel Quast opens up about her life-altering journey. Rachel, a Master's level counselor and founder of SHED (Self-Healing through EDucation), has faced anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and deep spiritual and family trauma. Her parents' extreme workaholism left her feeling invisible and unloved, pushing her to cope through food.
Rachel's candid discussion reveals how she navigated these tumultuous waters and found solace in her faith and community support. Rachel delves into the critical role of trauma work in healing.

Her struggles with emotional eating, even during recovery, highlight the ongoing challenges many face.
Rachel also shares how her relationship with God helped her break free from spiritual trauma, offering a message of hope and transformation. If you're seeking inspiration or practical advice on dealing with eating disorders, emotional struggles, or spiritual crises, Rachel's story is a must-listen. Her experiences underscore the importance of community support and faith in the recovery journey. Tune in to hear how Rachel uses her past to help others heal and find purpose.
