A Fight for Medical Freedom (Hosted by "Under the Sun" Podcast)

Blog Post: Thank You for Sharing Our Story - Samuel’s Fight for Medical Freedom

We are so incredibly grateful to the hosts, Aileeah & Irene, for providing us with the platform to share our journey on their podcast. It has been an emotional, difficult, and sometimes lonely road, and this episode has been a chance to bring light to the challenges we face in Samuel's fight for health and medical freedom. From the very first conversation to the heartfelt discussions that followed, the hosts not only gave us a voice but also helped amplify our message to a wider audience. In return, I wanted to offer this spot on my blog to host some additional content to go along with the podcast episode, for those momma's who want more details!

As a mother, there is nothing more important than protecting your child, and for the last several years, I’ve fought not only for Samuel’s physical health but also for his right to make informed medical choices, and for my right to make them for him. We know this...

Samuel's Journey Toward Justice, Healing, and a Brighter Future

medical samuel Jan 06, 2025

If this is our first time to meet, "Hello". I am Rachelle, the mother of an incredible young man named Samuel. Over the past decade, our family has faced a battle I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Samuel’s journey through chronic kidney disease, multiple hospital systems, and devastating medical setbacks has tested our faith, resilience, and strength. Now, as we stand at a crossroads, I’m sharing our story in the hope that it inspires others to help us advocate for Samuel’s care and give him the future he deserves.

A Decade of Challenges

Samuel was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome in 2014, and by 2015, it had progressed to FSGS (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis), a condition that would eventually require a kidney transplant. Despite years of dialysis, medical interventions, and our constant advocacy, systemic barriers made his journey incredibly difficult. We’ve had to navigate hospital policies, vaccine mandates, and inconsistent care, all while watching Samuel’s health—and trust in the...

Breaking the Silence: Understanding and Supporting Those Struggling with Suicidal Thoughts

Breaking the Silence: Understanding and Supporting Those Struggling with Suicidal Thoughts

[Click the Audio Above To Hear this Post Read to You]

The loss of a loved one to suicide leaves an ache that words can barely touch. It’s natural to feel confused and overwhelmed, asking, “How could this happen?” or “Why didn’t they ask for help?” These questions are heavy and often unanswerable, but I want to share parts from my own story in the hope it might offer some clarity and compassion to those wrestling with this pain.

 

My Journey Through the Darkness

I have walked the road of suicidal thoughts and even attempts—one of which led to hospitalization in 1992. These struggles often felt like silent battles—unseen and unheard by those around me. What made it even harder was the absence of a clear reason for the intensity of my emotions. Despite walking a difficult road in life, for the most part, I could manage—until I couldn’t. Feelings of overwhelm would crash over me suddenly, like waves pulling me under, leaving me drowning in hopelessness and self-doubt.

For decades, I c...

Journal Entry- 2024-0930

saving samuel Sep 30, 2024

 

As we were discussing what to do next, to help get him out of the hospital, I asked him “What do you want?”

He replied without hesitation:

“Take [it all] out and let whatever happens happen.

A miserable life is no life at all.”

And his voice quivered and he shut his eyes and closed out the world.

I wanted to cry with him- another dagger to my heart that I have to remind myself to not take personally, but to remember he’s speaking from a place of deep pain.

I tried to offer something of wisdom and encouragement and said that instead of him going to Jesus (he’s told me before he wants to go to Heaven where there’s no pain), let’s ask Jesus to come to him.

That He is strong when we are weak; that he can rest in Him.

 

And I wonder-

HOW do I make that happen?

How do I help my son see this and use this to his advantage and for his survival?

Have I failed, as his mother, to have him be this age and not have the thinking paths and patterns to get access to this strength...

Realizing he may have Narcissistic Traits!

Realizing he may have Narcissistic Traits!

[Press Play to Listen to Rachelle Read This Blog]

So many people are talking about narcissism these days, and I HATE to label people or categorize them into a group of people who are being labeled as worthy to be cast away and ostracized from relationships!

As a Christian, this is a very hard predicament for me!

However, since 2018, as I have become aware of Narcissism Personality Disorder and the traits that are associated with it, I have been forced to come face to face with the realities that it is now essential to be able to recognize and understand these "symptoms" and "characteristics" before, during, and after a romantic relationship with someone who may be displaying behaviors that are confusing, at the least, and toxic, unhealthy, and abusive, and even sometimes dangerous - at the most!

As a divorced single mother, with children, I had not idea when I reentered the dating scene, in 2022, that I would be encountering so many men who exhibit these characteristic traits AFTER...

Equipping Your Inner Circle to Support You Out of Narcissistic Abuse

Uncategorized Jul 19, 2024

When I first left my husband, in 2008, I did not understand anything about narcissism. What I knew was that I was not sure how he would react when he realized that I had really taken our three small children, withdrawn half of our checking account, and really left this time. He had mocked me on the way out, scoffing at the idea that I was seriously going to leave after he told our best friends and I that it was my problem, not his, that he was entertaining lustful behaviors that were breaking down the trust and safety in our marriage. We had been married a little over ten years, had just had our youngest child, and I finally felt like I had "Biblical Grounds" to leave.

I drove to my best friend's house and let her know what had happened. They seemed supportive, as much as they could be, despite the fact that we all strongly believed in Christian marriages. 

I didn't have the time, or the words, to try to explain the depths of what I had been going through, behind our closed doors, wh...

Do This While Going NO Contact [After a Breakup]

no contact tracker Jul 09, 2024

Many people know that "Going No Contact" is a smart move when dealing with a narcissist. But what else should you do to break free from their manipulative web?

After a few breakups with narcissistic men, I've realized that just going no contact isn't enough.

Here's what you can do instead of dwelling on the sadness and grief, constantly checking your phone, or replaying the past.

These 7 things have helped me maintain No Contact and create the space I need to reflect and recharge and also get clarity on how I am really feeling and what I really want to be more on the offensive rather than the defensive should he reach out to me:

  1. Feel the Pain & Face the Feelings - Write down any aha moments or memories, and allow yourself to feel the emotions that come up.
  2. List What You Don't Like - Be brutally honest about the person or the relationship. This is where you validate your own red flags and gut feelings that you've been ignoring.
  3. List What You Like or Love - Acknowledge the good t

Staying in a TOXIC Relationship is NOT your "Cross to Bear"!

separation Mar 05, 2023

Preview: 

"If you feel like you are in a narcissistic, toxic, abusive, manipulative, controlling, deceiptful, or coercive relationship that is not bringing God glory, your staying in that relationship is not bringing God glory either. A fruitful relationship is consistently honoring God, yourself, and others." 

Hear me explain in this podcast episode: I already have it cued up (at 2:56)... Just Press Play.

Loose Transcription:

Speaking of that, I had a new comment this morning I want to speak to really quick.

There was a woman that just basically said on one of my posts that she has not been able to get free from her situation, and she has decided that that's the cross that Jesus wants her to bear.

I want to speak against that.

As a believer in Jesus Christ, I believe in the finished work of the cross.

If you look at Hebrews, I think chapters 8, 9, and 10, and also in Galatians chapter 3... if you really read what Jesus did at the cross for us; He died and paid the price for...

"You Won't Leave" - My IG Reel That Got Over 1M Views

 

I had NO idea this was a systematic problem in the body of Christ at the time I posted my YouTube video (originally a private Facebook live) and this sassy reel. All I knew was I was finding my voice a little at a time and had the vision that I could possibly start telling bits and pieces of my story using these silly humorous reels.

When this reel went viral, I gained over 2000 followers within a few weeks as well as many private messages  from wives sharing similar stories with me.  Suddenly my voice became theirs. 

My husband told me for years that I couldn't leave.

He was wrong.

Watch my "Let's Talk About My Divorce" YouTube Video to hear my raw story as I told it three days before our divorce was final.

I had no idea my telling this would help so many others who are experiencing the same feelings of being "trapped" in what is supposed to be a "Christian Marriage".

Wow! This reel one hit 1,060,000 views with over 7000 Likes and 333 Savesl! #relatable
