Building A Human-Centered Framework For Well-Being with Rachel Buckley


Listen Later

What if your grind isn’t a discipline problem but a design mismatch? We sit down with Rachel Buckley of the Wellbeing Project to rethink success from the inside out, trading vague self-care for a practical framework that meets both body and being. Rachel’s story moves from New York sales floors and network marketing calls to single parenting in Asheville and hard-won spiritual clarity. Along the way, she discovered something that changed everything: she’s a wisdom teacher, not a traditional founder. That shift reframed “lack of follow-through” as misalignment—and opened the door to work that fits.

We unpack the seven core concepts of her Wellbeing Project, built to be universal and accessible with free online courses and weekly conversations. Think structure like AA but content for everyone: clear, human-centered language, no jargon, and a focus on what all people need to thrive. Rachel shows how “tending” replaces performative self-care. Instead of optimization, you get rhythms: consistent sleep, real food, movement, and the inner nutrients of connection, inspiration, and knowledge. She shares simple rituals that make life feel livable now—like a weekly, agenda-free gathering that keeps community strong without the performative networking.

We also get into common entrepreneurial myths. Ownership isn’t automatic freedom; freedom comes from fit. Rachel explains why keeping her business small on purpose protected her values and season of life, and how partnering let her stay in her genius as a teacher. Then we explore the Being Blueprint, a living personal manual that uses AI to synthesize insights from multiple modalities into practical, everyday guidance. It’s not about labels—it’s about decisions you can trust.

If you’re craving a humane path to growth, this conversation offers tools and language you can use today. Listen, share with someone who’s running on fumes, and tell us what part you’ll tend first. Subscribe for more conversations that put human thriving at the center of work and life.
