In this deeply intimate and inspiring episode, Rudi sits down with his wife, Anniston Riekstins—not as a co-host, but as a guest—to explore the profound spiritual and emotional awakening that transformed her from the inside out. What began as unexplained sadness evolved into a full-body remembrance of who she really is—beyond the productivity, the proving, and the push.

Through grief, stillness, and radical self-honesty, Anniston sheds light on the healing process so many of us resist and the roadmap she discovered that’s now available for every woman ready to return to her essence. She unveils Coming Home to Her, a free 7-day voice activation experience designed to help women reconnect with the power, peace, and purpose already within them.

If you’ve felt like you’re in between identities, disconnected from your body, or unsure of who you are becoming—this episode is your invitation to come home.

• Embodiment isn't a concept—it’s a way of being
• Healing doesn’t always have to be long and hard; it can begin in one intentional moment
