What if the key to lasting wellness wasn’t about overhauling your entire life, but returning to simple truths? In this episode, Allie is joined by Rachel Johnson—lawyer, founder of J&O Law and Ah.mi Health, and mom of three—for an honest conversation about ambition, burnout, wellness, and building a life that feels as good as it looks.

Rachel shares how she transitioned from Big Law to entrepreneurship, how a group text about postpartum health blossomed into a community of 2,000+ women, and what she’s learned about honoring your true self even in high-pressure careers. Together, they explore postpartum depression, the joy of doing things just for you, and how to stop chasing someone else’s version of success.

Key Themes:

* Entrepreneurship and life after Big Law

* From burnout to sustainable wellness

* Postpartum depression and recovery

* Letting go of narrow identities and embracing multiplicity

* Starting small and building community without overwhelm

Mantras and Tools:

* Greens. Water. Move. Repeat. (And sleep!)

* Start with the basics, not biohacks

* It’s okay to do something just because you love it

Resources Mentioned:

* Sam Harris’s Waking Up app

* ah.mi health on Substack

* Instagram: @ahmi.health
