Somehow we have arrived at the end of another year - and with that, it’s time to say goodbye to 2025. Today’s episode is one of our most popular of the entire year. We are going to process the year that has now passed. Before you can sit down and set your intentions for the new year, you need to ask yourself: what did 2025 bring you? What was beautiful? What was difficult? What lessons do you want to bring with you into 2026? And w...

With the internet at our fingertips, are we losing our critical thinking and problem solving skills? And if so, where are we headed as a society if we can’t think for ourselves anymore? In today’s episode, Rachel talks about how to tell the difference between deep integrated knowing versus information we just copied and gathered online. It is imperative that we feel rooted in knowing who we are and where we come from. This episode ...

How many epiphanies will we come to in our lives? How many cycles of the spiritual journey will we go on? Well, maybe that’s the point. In today’s episode, Rachel talks about feeling lost again and again. With her husband away, her to-do list is overflowing, she has lost her voice, her daughter has gotten sick, and her son has the chicken pox. But maybe it’s not about having a perfectly peaceful life all the time. It’s about the mo...

Your inner critic tells you a lot of things. Usually it’s just trying to keep you safe, but sometimes it’s completely untrue and harmful. In today’s episode, Rachel talks about her inner critical voice and how that is amplified in the online space. Sometimes the voice inside your head can sound a lot like the voices of the trolls online. After considering this, the conversation shifts toward our children. Do we really want to su...

In today’s episode, Rachel shares her eternal struggle for balance when it comes to sleep, her diet, and taking care of herself in general. How can we choose the most grounding, loving thing for ourselves? And on the other side of the spectrum, how can we not indulge so much that we ta...

Today’s episode begins with Rachel talking a little bit about their family vacation to Tenerife. It was a nourishing time spent doing nothing but reading and lounging on the beach.

Their origin story is one for the books! It has it all, from chanc...

Today’s episode is a tender one that was difficult to record. Rachel opens up about her fear of death. She discusses how this fear has shaped her throughout her life, from her childhood when it was formed, through motherhood, up until this very moment.

In today’s episode, Rachel opens up about a big, beautiful expansion happening in her marriage right now. For the first time in a long time, Rachel is able to lean more into her feminine side. Her husband has been taking the lead, and she has actually been able to accept letting go of control. How did these changes come about? It wasn’t from nagging or expecting someone else to become a new person - it was from recognizing barriers...

She comes home with a newly found understanding of herself and the world. Rachel talks a little bit about Path of Love (but not much because the experience is secret!),...

In today’s episode of the podcast, Rachel talks all about toddler tantrums. Her two-year-old son is in a phase right now where he doesn’t like to wear pants, or sit in his car seat, or brush his teeth, and this often leads to some big emotional releases. But what if we shifted our views around? What if we could see a tantrum for what it really is - an intelligent little body learning how to hold and release anger? We all need big ...
