In February of 2018, Rachael’s husband Micah was murdered in the line of duty. Micah was shot while protecting fellow police officers and citizens who came under fire during the arrest of a car thief. Micah left Rachael, and their seven year old twins, behind in his act of heroism. Devastated by the death of the future she and Micah had dreamed of together, Rachael nevertheless refused to succumb to her circumstances. As a professional counselor, she began to apply practical skills to grieve well and grow through the painful, traumatic experiences. In The Hopecast, Rachael and her guests will share their stories on their journeys of resilience. These stories will motivate and encourage you with clarity, direction and healing. Listen and meet the people who have been empowered by hope. Come and learn the skills to face your past and prepare for your wholehearted future.

Comfort for a new widow
Thank you so much Rachael for giving words to some of my thoughts in my journey of grief. Your podcast touches many places in my heart, in that my husband also had a background in law enforcement and eventually became a paramedic. Though his journey at the end was a 11 month battle with cancer, I saw both of us grow closer to the Lord in the midst of it.

Rachael does a good job of bringing the raw moments of life that we may experience to the authentic and “real” expression of them. She’s always looking for the “hope-full” side of things which I find inspiring as an enneagram 4.
I’m thankful for her process and journey, sharing along the way. If you want a podcast that you feel you’d be able to sit down and have coffee with, this is it.
Thankful,
Andy
