In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach gets candid about the challenges of navigating midlife, perimenopause, and the frustrating realization that the routines and strategies that worked in her 20s and 30s no longer seem to deliver the same results. While her family life is thriving, she opens up about feeling stuck in her career, creativity, fitness, and personal style, prompting her to launch an experiment: identifying what's working, recognizing what isn't, and trying the exact opposite of her usual approach to see what changes. Rachel reflects on the identity shifts that come with getting older, the pressure of reinventing yourself while juggling family responsibilities, and the importance of giving yourself permission to evolve. She invites listeners to join her on this journey of rediscovery, reminding them that just because something worked in the past doesn't mean it's the right approach for the person they're becoming.
