In today’s episode, Rachel opens up about an area of her life that she has kept private for the past couples of years - and a story she never thought she would tell. It is a vulnerable and intimate story about her pelvic floor. After learning she had a low-grade prolapse after her first birth, Rachel discovered this was affecting many areas of her life. Walking was uncomfortable, dancing led to embarrassing situations, and she felt her vitality slipping away. 

But then she learned how common this experience was. Did you know that as many as 50% of women may experience a prolapse after birth? This episode is Rachel’s journey into all things pelvic health; from reproductive care to contraceptives, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She shares what she went through growing up, what she experienced after birth, and most importantly, how she healed.

Today’s episode is a really open and honest sharing straight from Rachel’s heart. She begins by talking about the season of winter, and what winter is asking of us during these months. Winter is a time to slow down, move inward, and rest. It’s a time to anchor into our self worth, even when we are doing nothing of “value”. But Rachel often finds her mind telling her the exact opposite. She openly discusses her struggle, her grief, and how this time of year reminds her of her best friend who passed away, and all the things she used to tell Rachel when she was stuck in her “doing” mind.

At the end of the episode, Rachel goes a bit deeper on how her company is for sale and how she has integrated that news over the past couple of days. Tune in for a lovely chat that will remind you that the truth to everything lies in the present moment… when things are quiet. Sometimes all you have to do is take the cue from nature.

Today’s episode is another segment of Ask Rachel, where listeners call in and receive answers from the heart. But before she dives into your questions, Rachel shares a little bit about her difficulties over the past week - with the state of the world, inside her own family, and her struggle to be vulnerable and tell the truth.

Your questions brought out two clear themes of the day. The first theme is about quitting veganism, how to ethically transition to eating animal proteins, and the best way to have that conversation with your kids.

Tune in for a conversational episode that feels like you’re grabbing coffee with a good friend.
