This week on Older & Bolder, Debbie McCulloch welcomes Rachel Schneider, Chief Inspiration Officer and author of The Widow Chose Red. With remarkable courage and compassion, Rachel shares how losing her husband to ALS changed everything—and how she found her way forward through unimaginable grief.

Rachel also opens up about her journey as a mother navigating her son’s struggle with addiction, and how those painful experiences shaped the work she does today: empowering women to live with intention, self-worth, and spiritual awareness.

Now an author, speaker, and guide for women entering their next chapter, Rachel reminds us that midlife is not the end—it’s the beginning of a whole new kind of power.

Her story is a moving reminder that healing is possible, joy is still within reach, and purpose can be born from pain.
