Rachel Kennedy transitioned from being a stay-at-home mom to a beacon of support for individuals navigating the tumultuous waters of divorce. Initially, she began offering informal assistance to those in abusive situations, driven by her own life experiences. This led to the official founding of Gathering Hope, Minnesota, in 2021, an organization dedicated to helping women — and occasionally men — through the challenging process of divorce. As her children grew older and she faced a major life shift, Rachel sought a deeper way to fulfill her passion for supporting others, deciding to return to graduate school to become a therapist. Her journey from informal aid to a structured support system highlights Rachel’s unwavering commitment to helping people rebuild their lives during one of their most difficult times.
