In today’s episode, Rachel shares many opposing thoughts that we are all thinking right now: the world is absurd, crazy and scary - but the world is also full of so many beautiful things. Everywhere we look there is war, genocide, starvation, and terrifying men in positions of power. But there are also children laughing, flowers blooming, and ducks in Rachel’s house! How can these polarities exist at once? And even more so, how can we find happiness and joy amidst the chaos and uncertainty?

Whatever you are doing to take care of yourself right now is beautiful. Whether that looks like small self-care practices or prepping a bunker for the apocalypse (Rachel shares a bit more of her journey here, too!), it all counts. At the end of the day, the only one coming to save you is you. Tune in for an episode that will empower you to remember that you are the one you have been waiting for.

In today’s episode, Rachel answers a very specific question: does she hate men? The answer to this is… no, not all men. But the truth is, the male population as a whole is not giving women a lot to feel confident in right now. From charlatans in the healing space preying on the vulnerable, to the lack of prosecutions resulting from the Epstein files, and the shocking rape academy online, we live in a misogynistic system that is meant to protect men and allow women to be harmed and abused. But what can we actually do about it?

This episode is a call for all of us - especially the “good men” out there - to step up and make a change. Have the hard conversations with your friends, say something when you see something, and don’t lay down and accept things as they are. We must make a change for our wives, our sisters, and our daughters - and it starts with doing the work in mundane moments of our own lives.

Does it feel like time is just moving quicker and quicker? Are you yearning to slow down the clock and enjoy each moment as it comes your way? In today’s episode, Rachel is about to celebrate her husband’s 40th birthday. After meeting in their twenties, having two children, and spending decades together - this feels like a big milestone. Rachel shares her thoughts on growing older as she takes a trip down memory lane.

With every passing year it feels like time is moving faster. How can we slow it down? How can we appreciate each decade as it comes our way (and especially the challenging ones with young children)? One day we will look back and miss it all. This episode will have you feeling nostalgic and remind you to appreciate every single moment - because it’s all we have.

What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and had no power? Or the grocery stores had no food? Or there wasn’t any clean water anymore? What would you do if all of a sudden you were expected to live a completely different lifestyle than you are used to? Can we really rely on the government or anyone else to take care of us?

In today’s episode, Rachel talks about prepping for the end of the world. Over the past couple of months, she has felt a deep urge to protect her family and be ready for a potential crisis. She discusses her beliefs growing up in Sweden, and how they have changed over the years and after experiencing Covid. Then she shares real actions her family have taken to feel less panicked and more ready for anything that may come our way. Ultimately, the goal is to feel grounded and taken care of - with that power coming from you instead of anywhere else.

Today’s episode will inspire you to put your hands in the soil and grow something. Rachel shares her entire history with gardening, from how she got started to her intuitive process now. The beautiful thing about gardening is that you can just begin, and nature will take it from there.

Tending to a little plot of land has changed Rachel’s life for the better. This daily work of time spent in the garden working with her hands is shifting something so primal inside of her - and showing her maybe there is another way to live. Maybe growing our own foods is the way out of the existing system that is draining us and taking us away from our children. If we want something to change, we have to be that change. You can start right now by growing some food. Tune in to get inspired.

It’s time for another Ask Rachel episode of the podcast - and the questions that came today were really incredible. It was a very mother-centered episode, with guests asking about setting boundaries with their mothers, how to find moments of self-care when you’re a new mother, and how we can really make a change in the world when we are so immersed with raising our kids.

Rachel also opens up about a topic she doesn’t speak on much - her relationship with her own mother. It’s a very intimate episode focused on the people who hold so much, and somehow continue to keep giving. Tune in to open your heart.
