It’s story time today on From the Heart and Rachel has some hilarious ones. Tune in as she talks about homesteading, the work behind the scenes, and some epic fails that have resulted in quite a few messes to clean up. Homesteading may look like a dream life online, but in reality it comes with a lot of dedication, learning as you go, and picking yourself back up when things go wrong.
On top of that, Rachel gives a sleep update. She discusses Finn’s new routine and what has changed in life since getting more sleep (hint: she is feeling much more creative again!). By the end of the episode, you will come away knowing that we may put a lot of work into our families and home life, but it is always worth it. The seasons of life will ebb and flow, but the love there is always a constant.

Think about the time before iPads, smart phones, and other devices. You came home from school and played outside. You went on a road trip and sang songs with your family. You did arts, crafts and other activities when you were bored.
Today’s episode discusses the sensitive topic of smart devices, the internet, and how excessive screen time can affect the health and wellbeing of our children. Have we lost the ability to be bored? Can we still find presence in the moment? Rachel shares stories from her own family life and offers ideas to limit screen time and raise well balanced kids. The internet can offer us so much - can we learn to keep the good and get rid of all the rest? Tune in to find the balance.

So many of us live our lives burnt out. We work, we provide for our families, and we spend the rest of the time managing our never ending to-do lists. Or is that just an old story we tell ourselves? If this sounds like you, today’s episode ponders a very big question: is it possible to change who we are at our core?
Rachel has always been someone who puts work first, who never stops moving, and who always has a million projects on the go. She reflects on why this might be the case: is this all she witnessed and experienced as a child? If life had turned out differently, would she have been different? And if so, how can we unlearn any generational trauma and unhelpful thought patterns to get back to who we truly are within? Today’s episode will help you reframe your past and learn to prioritize rest. There is hope in the beautiful mundane moments of life, and the dishes can wait. Tune in to begin.

How often does your inner critic tell you that you’re not good enough? How often do you feel the urge to poke, prod, fix, and change yourself? In today’s episode, Rachel is coming out of a few hard weeks with bad body image. She unpacks that negative voice within and how to walk the fine line between authentic self-love and obsessing over what you look like.
After a triggering experience in a changing room and a comment from a stranger, Rachel was feeling the pressures of society to look a certain way - especially as a postpartum woman. But there is a true path to loving the skin you’re in, and it has nothing to do with your appearance. It’s all about finding embodiment and peace in the moment. You can choose joy, kindness, and self-love - right now. Tune in to realize it.

In today’s episode, she discusses how to navigate your mornings in a way that works for you.
Whatever phase you are at in parenthood, know that it is all fleeting. Our job is to take care of ourselves through all of life’s ups and downs the best we can, and cherish the special moments we have with our kids along the way. It won’t last forever.
Maybe it’s time for a whole new era! One filled with sleep, self-care, and no guilt. And of course, Rachel also discusses her recent experience at the Taylor Swift concert. It’s a fun episode filled with transition. Tune in to embrace it all.
