S1:E14 Faith, Motherhood & Building Legacy After the Storm with Rachel McCord
In Heels with Keni Silva | Season 1 | Survival to Significance
Rachel McCord joins Keni Silva for an intimate conversation about faith, motherhood, and the moment that changed everything. As founder of The McCord List, Rachel built a media platform rooted in hope and transformation — but behind the scenes, she was fighting an eight-year health battle that doctors repeatedly dismissed.
Just months after appearing in Times Square and landing a major television opportunity, Rachel underwent open-heart surgery. After years of worsening symptoms and unanswered questions, she and her husband finally uncovered a life-threatening mitral valve condition. Facing staggering odds, Rachel leaned fully into her faith, describing a supernatural peace in the days leading up to surgery.
Now a survivor, mother, and media leader, Rachel reflects on how the experience reshaped her purpose — shifting her focus toward legacy, intentional parenting, and using her platform to help others move beyond pain and into lasting hope.
