In this compelling episode, we sit down with Raquel Rose—wife, mom, school-counselor-turned-entrepreneur and passionate advocate for life. As a young college student, Raquel found herself facing an unplanned pregnancy at age 21, a moment she describes as terrifying and isolating. But at the same time, she experienced an encounter with the Eucharist that brought healing, hope and a decisive turn toward choosing life. From this thorny season emerged The Little Rose Shop—a creative storefront born out of faith, crafted items and the desire to bring the Gospel into the everyday. Her daughter became “the rose to her thorns,” and the business name is a tribute to the fact that what appeared painful became fruitful.

She shares about how The Little Rose Shop doesn’t just design cute faith-inspired products, but builds a vision of pro-life that reaches from the unborn child to the marginalized person, from the home to the marketplace. Whether you’re a mom, a business person, a church-goer, or someone who simply values life and hope, Raquel’s story is an invitation: say yes to what seems scary, trust God’s plan and let your every-day gifts become part of a larger mission.

Tune in to hear how the “little rose” of her life has blossomed into a movement for dignity and life in every season.
