What do the stars have in store for us in 2025? In today’s episode, Rachel is joined by our favorite astrologer, Debra Silverman, to share the astrology forecast for the year ahead. Together they discuss your soul versus your ego, how to slow down and live a life grounded in self-acceptance, using astrology to find fulfillment as we age, and Rachel’s own chart and the big shifts she has seen recently. Then of course, Debra shares her predictions for what is ahead and how to prepare, for each sun sign from Aries to Pisces. Tune in as Debra offers a message of hope and helps you peel back the layers of 2025 and find the tools you need to embrace your true, authentic self. Astrology can teach you how you love, how you act, what motivates you and… it gives you a permission slip to come home to yourself.

Welcome back to From the Heart. This week on the show, Rachel is finally home after a winter ski vacation, and she is settling into her usual routine. She shares about her time on the slopes with her family, the big overhaul she has done when it comes to her diet and counting her macros, and also what it felt like returning home after a long time away.

While vacations are special, it’s ultimately the little everyday moments that make life completely worthwhile. Taking your first sip of coffee in the morning. Laughing with your children. Sitting on the couch with your husband. At the end of your life, these are the times you will remember. Maybe we don’t always need to reach for the stars, but sometimes just appreciate the small, slow moments that make you feel alive. Tune in for the inspiration to slow down and find meaning in the little things.

It is time for the most important practice we will do to prepare for 2025. In today’s episode, Rachel shares her Intention Setting Ceremony, where you will sit with your journal and call in your heart’s longing for 2025. Rachel will guide you through the entire practice, from setting up an altar, to shaking off any feelings with a dance party, sitting down to quietly ground - and then begin.

Focusing on the four main areas of your life - your home, body, mind, and soul - you will close a chapter and define what comes next. What feeling do you want to embody by the end of the coming year? What is the most beautiful version of 2025 that you can imagine if you had all resources at hand? With actionable journaling prompts, what may have seemed unclear will be brought into full focus. At the end of this practice, you will have 12 goals to work toward, as well as a clear intention, affirmation, and word of the year to guide you toward something new. Tune in to call all your longings into existence. The universe listens.

Today is a very exciting day on From the Heart because we are joined by none other than Tori Dunlap (you know her as @herfirst100K on Instagram). She is a money expert, badass businesswoman, bestselling author, podcast host, and THE Financial Feminist. By the time Tori was 25, she had saved up her first 100K, and now she empowers other women to fight the patriarchy - and get rich!

In this episode, her and Rachel dive into all things from how to save (with a step by step plan!), investing and ethical investing, and crypto currency. They also take a look at much deeper issues, such as why the system is the way it is, SHAME and why women feel is so much more than men, and how financial literacy really is the best form of protest. If you are looking for the path to financial freedom, it’s time to tune in.

You can find Tori’s offerings here: Her First 100K: https://herfirst100k.com/ NYT Bestselling Financial Feminist Book: https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-book #1 Podcast on Money, Financial Feminist: https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-podcast/

It’s time for another segment of Ask Rachel. This week on the show, you sent in some truly vulnerable questions that led to a really beautiful, open-hearted conversation. Can we fix a relationship that is on two separate pages? What dynamics shift when we make a big change in our lives? Can we fully heal from our childhood wounding? And how can we learn to parent differently than how we were parented, if that’s all we’ve ever known? 

With some beautiful insights on breaking cycles, how to handle crises, and the pressures put on women by society, this episode will leave you with a sense of peace in yourself and the will to move forward.
