Benshen Talks S.H.I.T.

12. The Power of Pivoting with Rachel Saunders


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and forever inspiration, Rachel Saunders — ceramicist, business owner, and community builder — who shares her journey about coming into an interestingly new (and slightly scary!) era. Rachel is focused on creating, sharing her work while simultaneously surrendering to the evolution of both her identity and ceramics business along the way.  

Rachel has always been willing to live a life of freedom. From her ceramics business to online Destination for iInspiration, The Sanctuary, it’s undeniable that Rachel embodies a sense of assuredness and lives life in a way that speaks to her authenticity — even in the midst of change. Rachel shares how specifically travel and Human Design have played a role in understanding the perceived shifts and limitations that inevitably anchor her to her true essence. 

Rachel and I discuss how creating space for others to be excited about is how we all can start to feel a sense of genuine connection and community. Plus, Rachel shares the lesson of choosing to make any situation (regardless of circumstances) peaceful and joyful. It’s a relationship — we’re all in this together, so let’s do this together.
