Rachel's "My Bear Jeff’s" God Story

In my first episode of February, Episode 27 “Rachel’s Story,” I interview KC ROCKSTAR special guest, Rachel Cohen.  Rachel is the Chief Bear Officer and Founder of My Bear Jeff.  In our conversation, Rachel and I discuss her faith journey, favorite scriptures, and why God’s love and peace are so important in helping those who are going through trauma. We also talk about how she created her company from several personal experiences in her life that included her own childhood experience with trauma when she was diagnosed with a very serious heart condition at a young age resulting in her hospitalization.  Rachel also shares how God used her family to help her with her recovery.  She also shares how her trauma experience created empathy for children going through extreme trauma (poverty, neglect, abuse, and being made to marry very young).  She saw extreme trauma firsthand while living in Southeast Asia and after she returned to the US she realized trauma was a growing issue even in her own city.  To bring children in trauma comfort God gave her the idea to sell teddy bears as a buy one, give one model, and thus My Bear Jeff was born. 

Enjoy listening to Rachel’s inspiring God story that is behind her My Bear Jeff company and her success.
