"We all have the ability to be resilient. Every day, we wake up with choices that we are allowed to make, that we're in control of, and how we choose to use those really lands us in a really healthy and whole space, or in a really dangerous, unhealthy place."

Reflecting on her past, the businesswoman said her personal struggles were the result of self-sacrifice and making unhealthy decisions.

"I've done unhealthy, I've done unhealthy for too long. I have sacrificed myself, my mental, emotional and physical health for too long, and I don't want to do that anymore."

Speaking on her current journey, Rachel said that by taking the longer and most uncertain road to healing, she knows that the growth she will experience is both authentic and permanent, expressing excitement for the woman she's becoming.

While many expected her to finally address her high-profile divorce from Siya Kolisi, the documentary instead focuses on Rachel's personal growth and healing journey.

The screening forms part of a national roadshow across South Africa, kicking off in March and travelling through several major cities, including Gqeberha and Johannesburg.

"In every city, we are creating intentional spaces for you to see pieces of yourself to recognise your own strength, your own becoming, your own forward motion, even when it felt impossible."
