In one of the most moving episodes of the Significant Women podcast, Carol McLeod welcomes Rachel Brown—author, speaker, and founder of Never Alone Widows—for a powerful conversation about love, loss, and the miraculous restoration that only God can bring.
Rachel opens up about marrying her college sweetheart Todd and building what felt like the perfect life. But just three months into their marriage, a tragic and unexpected health crisis took Todd’s life—leaving Rachel a widow at only 23. With raw honesty, she shares the shock of sudden grief, the sacred moments of heartbreak, and how Jesus met her in the wreckage.
Now, twice widowed and walking in deep joy and renewed purpose, Rachel is helping thousands of women heal and find hope. This episode will speak to your soul—whether you’re grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply wondering where God is in your hardest moments.
