In this episode of Ask Rach, Rachel Hollis answers two powerful listener questions that, while different on the surface, share a common theme: what do you do when life doesn’t line up with your dreams? One caller is battling the discouragement of a tough job market, struggling to land any role at all. Another is a young woman trying to pursue creativity while navigating the challenges of a troubled home environment.
Rachel explores the overlap between these situations — resilience, resourcefulness, and finding momentum even when circumstances feel stacked against you. With practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement, she reminds listeners that beginnings don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between survival and dreaming, this episode offers both perspective and tactical tools to help you keep moving forward.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
