From Rock Bottom to Reinvention: Finding Light After Loss
Manage episode 496421762 series 3548116
In this unforgettable episode of Shine on Success, host Dionne Malush sits down for a raw, unfiltered conversation about grief, reinvention, and the courage it takes to lead with heart. What starts as a conversation about viral marketing and entrepreneurial success unfolds into a deeply human story of loss, healing, and rediscovering purpose.
Rachel built an empire reaching over 100 million people a year, but behind the numbers was a woman navigating unimaginable pain after losing her father. Together, Dionne and Rachel explore what it means to keep showing up when everything falls apart, how creativity can become a lifeline in grief, and why the most powerful thing we can do is tell the truth. If you’ve ever felt broken, this episode reminds you: you’re not alone, and you can rise again.
