Falling Forward is Rachel’s personal project exploring healing, self-discovery and rebuilding life after difficult experiences.

She has visited many cities in South Africa with her events and now she’s taking it to London. She teased the type of coversations to expect via a video. Take a look…

“Being a woman shouldn’t mean carrying everything and making it look easy. We’re told to be strong, to be resilient and to keep going. But it’s also okay if that weight feels too heavy sometimes. You don’t have to carry it alone,” she wrote.

“London, you’re in for a treat. These are the kinds of honest conversations you can look forward to at Falling Forward on the 19th of November 🤍,” she continued.
