Rise Up Restored - Episode 79: Rachelle's Story

Ep. 79: Rachelle's Story — Suicide Thoughts, 12-Steps, and Finding Hope Again Co-hosts Becky and Tiffany welcome Rachelle, who shares her powerful journey of healing, faith, and self-discovery after betrayal trauma tied to her husband's addiction. Her childhood was deeply rooted in faith, which shaped her values and relationships — but her marriage soon brought emotional challenges and the pain of betrayal. After reaching a breaking point — including thoughts of ending her life — Rachelle found hope and community through 12-step meetings and a healing retreat that marked a turning point in her spiritual and emotional recovery. She realized her peace didn't depend on her husband's choices, but on her own surrender, support systems, and trust in God's healing process. Today, Rachelle continues to grow in Christ, learning to let go of control, embrace authenticity, and rest in the sufficiency of God's grace. --------- Rise Up Restored is hosted by Becky Ruff, an APSATS-certified partner specialist and betrayal trauma therapist in Utah and Idaho.
