Rachel Hollis on the Power of Asking the Right Questions


Listen Later

It’s 2025, and it’s season 15! I could not be more excited for this season and all that it will bring, starting with today’s guest, Rachel Hollis. Since Rachel’s last book in 2020, so much has happened in her life, and she’s here today to talk about it and her brand new book, What If YOU Are the Answer?: And 26 Other Questions That Just Might Change Your Life, which is out January 7. On the 1 percent chance you don’t know Rachel and her work, Rachel is the stratospherically popular author of books like 2018’s Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be, 2019’s Girl, Stop Apologizing: A Shame-Free Plan for Embracing and Achieving Your Goals, and 2020’s Didn’t See That Coming: Putting Life Back Together When Your World Falls Apart. She is an author, a motivational speaker, a blogger, a podcaster — a leader in the self-help space, which you all know is a world I love to read books about. As I said, since 2020, Rachel’s world has been rocked by a divorce from her ex-husband, Dave Hollis, who died in 2023 after their separation; a miscarriage; finding new love (your world can be rocked even when it’s good!). In this new book, Rachel is harnessing the power of asking questions, and is doing so in a very vulnerable, candid, and close-to-the-bone way. As she puts in the book, “the right question can change everything,” and in this book Rachel asks 26 questions that cause readers to look at their own life through a new lens. I loved this book, and I think you will too.
