When Faith Becomes Control: Rachel Pietsch on Reclaiming Identity, Voice & Freedom
Description
For decades, Rachel Pietsch lived under the weight of religious rules, family expectations, and a belief that her feelings, instincts, and voice were somehow wrong. When her husband faced burnout, she was forced into strength — and in that pressure, her inner truth finally broke through.
In this conversation, Rachel shares her journey from being a silenced “church mouse” to becoming a woman who reclaimed her boundaries, questioned everything she was taught, and learned to trust her own voice. She opens up about emotional neglect, breaking harmful family cycles, and the transformative role therapy played in giving her permission to think, choose, and live for herself.
Today, Rachel helps others free their voices too — literally and emotionally.
Her story is a powerful reminder that courage often begins in the smallest moment: a boundary placed, a question asked, a truth spoken out loud.
