In this episode, we talk to Rachel Krentzman. She describes herself as authentic, creative and sensitive. Rachel lives in Israel. Rachel tells us about sitting on a comma with leaving her community and religion of upbringing. After building the expected life that her community had shaped, Rachel felt unfulfilled and foreign in a world where everyone and everything was pre-defined. As she began thinking about leaving for a new path, she had to face the backlash of others’ approval, criticisms and being pushed away by her family and community. Her journey took her across 3 countries, new beliefs, new callings and creating a community of her choosing. Tune in to hear what Rachel means when she says “Do I have a right to shape my own life?”.
