In this powerful episode of The FitZen Project, Rachel sits down with Dana Hunter Fradella—host of Girls Who Recover and a bright light in the recovery and coaching space—for a raw and inspiring conversation about transformation, sobriety, and what it really means to be in the business of yourself.

Dana shares her journey from chasing external validation—degrees, careers, relationships, and material success—to burning it all down in recovery and finding the courage to ask: Who am I really? Together, Rachel and Dana explore:

 ✨ How sobriety became the gift that stripped away false identities
 ✨ The concept of “unbecoming” and shedding what no longer serves us
 ✨ Parenting as a mirror and the daily practice of choosing love over control
 ✨ Why true transformation starts with being, not doing

This conversation is equal parts soul work, storytelling, and practical wisdom. If you’ve ever felt the pull to burn down what isn’t working and rebuild from love, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
