From Devastation to Healing

A Journey of Transformation

I'm honored to share my first-ever published article, a deeply personal story about loss, survival, and the path to finding hope. It’s a glimpse into the raw moments that shaped my journey and the resilience that emerged from it.

“My phone rang, and the words on the other end shattered everything: 'I don’t have time for this; I need to get my kids.' What followed was a blur of gravel roads, flashing lights, and the weight of loss that would change my life forever.”

In that moment, I stood at the edge of despair, and what came next was a journey of resilience, healing, and profound transformation. Through grief, I found the tools to rebuild my life, not just to survive but to thrive, and now I dedicate my work to helping others do the same.

This story is at the heart of everything I do at Nurtured Soul Studios, offering a safe space and trauma-informed practices to guide you from pain to purpose, one mindful step at a time.

Soul Sh*ts & Shifts: A Love Letter to Survivors

This guide was born in the fire, straight from the heartbreaks, breakdowns, and gut-wrenching grief that nearly took me out. Soul Sh&ts & Shifts: 10 Lessons for Survivors came to life after losing my dad to suicide… and surviving my attempt. That kind of pain does not just crack you, it scorches everything you thought you were.

For years, I was lost in it. Grief. Rage. Shame. Numbness. I did not know how to move forward. I barely knew how to breathe. Breath by breath, breakdown by breakthrough, I built myself back. Not into the old version… into someone I had not even met yet.

This guide is for anyone who’s ever felt shattered by life and still chose to stand up. It’s not a pep talk or a pity party. It’s true. It’s tools. It’s 10 lessons I had to learn the hard way, and now I get to hand them to you, so maybe your load gets a little lighter.

There’s no perfect way to heal. There’s just your way. If you’re here, that means some part of you is ready. So grab the guide, pour a cup (or cry into one), and let’s take this next brave step together. You don’t need to be “fixed.” You just need to be met.

With you in the mess and the magic,
—Rachel

Shots to Somatic and Pills to Poses

A Quick Guide to Sobriety, Science, and Sanity

Sobriety is not about rainbows, green juice, or pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. It’s about showing up, messy, raw, human, and deciding that numbing the pain isn’t your story’s final chapter. It’s about saying, “I’ve had enough of this,” and daring to believe you’re worth more. Spoiler: You are.

This is not just another “self-help” guide filled with clichés about “just staying strong.” (Barf.) This quick guide is your no-BS introduction to navigating sobriety with practical tools, science-backed strategies, and a hefty dose of humor. From yoga flows that calm cravings to mocktail recipes that make sobriety taste amazing, I’ve packed everything I wish I’d had when I was at rock bottom because I’ve been there.

When I say I have been there, I mean it. I have sat on the bathroom floor surrounded by a bottle, pills, and a knife, asked the wrong people for help, and thought I’d never crawl out of the hole I’d dug for myself. Somehow, through grace, grit, and a lot of trial and error, I did. If I can do it, so can you.

Inside this Quick Guide, you will find:

• The science behind addiction and how to rewire your brain to heal (without the jargon).

• Relatable, unfiltered stories (think: bottles hidden everywhere, cutting, and the journey to reclaim my life).

• Actionable tools, yoga flows, breathwork, journaling prompts, and creative exercises that actually work.

• Mocktail recipes so good you’ll never miss the hard stuff.

Sobriety is not about perfection, it’s about progress. It’s about saying “yes” to your healing, your freedom, and the life you deserve. So, if you are ready to laugh, cry, learn, and grow, this Quick Guide is your first step. This is more than a guide, it’s your lifeline to the clarity, strength, and peace you didn’t think was possible.
