Praise for When Life Happens
“Dr. Rachel gets it. She knows exactly what it feels like to be stuck, overwhelmed, and burned out by the pressure to do everything. When Life Happens isn’t another self-help book—it’s the reset that snaps you out of the spiral and gets you moving forward with confidence.”
—MEL ROBBINS, New York Times bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast
“When Life Happens is a compassionate and practical guide for anyone navigating stress, burnout, or major life transitions. Dr. Rachel provides us with a clear roadmap, giving strategies and tools along the way to help us skillfully navigate the peaks and valleys we face on the way to personal growth. This book is refreshing, relatable, and exactly what we all need when life gets messy.”
—YUNG PUEBLO, New York Times bestselling author of Lighter
“Dr. Rachel reminds us that resilience isn’t about avoiding challenges—it’s about how we meet them. This book will leave you feeling empowered, understood, and ready to take action, no matter what life throws your way.”

“In the end, this book, like the author, leads with compassion and a healthy dose of reality. It doesn’t offer gimmicks, hacks, or easy fixes.
