In this week’s episode, Rachel talks with Cecily Breeding about becoming the person God designed us to be—in mind, body, and spirit. Together, they explore how to live with wholeness and grace, let go of pressure and perfection, and embrace a life rooted in purpose and peace. They also share practical ways to encourage our kids to enjoy movement and remove the barriers that keep us from thriving in our own health and wellness journeys.

🎙️ Coffee & Conversations with Rachel — Episode Intro

Today on Coffee & Conversations with Rachel, we’re welcoming Sara Allegri, owner and instructor at Pilates Island Studio. Sara has a gift for helping people reconnect with their bodies—especially after a long break, an injury, or a season of feeling unsure about where to start again.

In this conversation, Sara and Rachel talk honestly about what it means to step back into movement with grace instead of guilt, to release the pressure of perfection, and to let healing begin—not from shame, but from love. It’s a beautiful reminder that grace is stronger than shame, and that it’s never too late to begin again.

In the final part of this 3-part series, Rachel and Lace dive into one of the biggest challenges many families face—school. From sensory overload to social struggles and misunderstanding, the classroom can be a tough place for autistic kids.

Lace shares what helped her most as a student and offers insight from her lived experience. Together, she and Rachel talk through ways parents, teachers, and caregivers can create safe, supportive environments where neurodivergent kids can truly thrive.

☕ Join us for this thoughtful conversation about empathy, advocacy, and empowering children to be seen, heard, and celebrated—just as they are.
