The Cycle Breakers Podcast

If you're having a "bad" day or feeling off, this one's for you. I almost didn't record today because I couldn't fake the high-vibe energy. So instead, I got real - because masking our emotions only takes us further from the medicine we need. This is a permission slip to pause, feel deeply, and connect with your Spiritual Counsel for guidance. Your bounce-back rate is your superpower. Let's explore how to hold the duality and move through the funk with compassion and curiosity.

In this convo, Rach riffs on:

• How a sudden shift in frequency can be a sign you're meeting your next level
• How to honour and alchemize negative emotions, instead of shaming them
• Simple but powerful practices to move through heavy energy
• How I use my signature method to come back home to myself

In this episode, we're diving deep into what it really means to lead with integrity - especially as Indigenous women reclaiming our power, our voice, and our value in business. Inspired by a recent experience that challenged me to hold my boundaries and reflect on what I truly stand for, this conversation explores the sacred responsibility we carry as leaders. We'll walk through the teachable moments that emerged - not from blame, but from embodiment.

This is a heart-led reminder that leadership isn't just about what you do - it's about how you do it. And when we lead from a place of truth, courage, and love, even the hardest moments become medicine.

We're talking: → the energetic power of honouring your word → why integrity is the foundation of heart-centered leadership → how the Seven Sacred Teachings guide us in business → the importance of protecting your medicine and your boundaries

In this solo episode, I'm unpacking the truth about the "gap" so many of us feel between our current reality and the life we know we're meant for. Whether it's in your relationships, career, or money - the problem isn't that you're not doing enough. It's that your subconscious, nervous system, and energetic setpoint might still be aligned with the old you. I share how we bridge that gap from the inside out using my science-based, Indigenous-led method rooted in deep inner rewiring and sacred self-reclamation.

In this episode, I riff on:

• Why this "gap" exists and what to do about it
• How subconscious beliefs and nervous system dysregulation create repeating patterns in relationships, career, and money
• Examples of how your current programming keeps you from what you desire
• How to stop sabotaging and start creating your dream life

What if your biggest block to receiving joy isn't what's happening outside of you - but what's lingering within? In this episode, Rachael unpacks the all-too-common fear that good things won't last- the fear that the "other shoe will drop."

Whether you're waiting for the sky to fall or feel like you're bracing through your blessings - this conversation will bring light to the shadow and power back to your path.

In this episode, Rach riffs on:

• How this fear shows up as tension, doubt, and sabotage

• The connection between ancestral trauma and hypervigilance

• Why your brain resists unfamiliar safety and success

• Common protection patterns like self-sabotage and shrinking
