In this throwback episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach sits down with clinical psychologist and Good Inside founder Dr. Becky Kennedy to rethink what effective parenting looks like and how parents can raise resilient, confident kids without relying on punishment or shame. Dr. Becky explains her “sturdy leadership” approach, which centers on setting firm boundaries while validating children’s emotions, and shares practical strategies for responding to strong-willed kids, teaching emotional skills, and repairing moments when parents lose their cool. Together, they explore how our own childhood experiences shape the way we parent and emphasize that learning new parenting skills can not only strengthen our relationships with our children, but also help us become more confident, emotionally grounded versions of ourselves.

In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach explores how a tiny shift in the words we use can change the way we experience our lives, focusing on the power of the phrase “I am.” She encourages listeners to stop turning temporary feelings into permanent identities, replace exaggerated or self-deprecating language with more accurate descriptions, and separate what actually happened from the story they tell themselves about it. Rachel emphasizes that this practice is not about denying difficult emotions, but about naming them honestly and choosing language that creates more agency, clarity, and opportunities to move forward.

Ultimately, Rachel argues that perseverance matters more than perfect motivation and challenges listeners to keep moving forward so they can build a life they’re proud of rather than look back with regret.

In this edition of "Ask Rach" on The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rachel answers listener questions about rebuilding after a major business failure, attracting the right buyer when selling a business, and using old journal entries without getting stuck in the past. She encourages listeners to view failure as valuable experience rather than a definition of who they are, pair visualization with practical action when pursuing a goal, and measure personal growth by looking at how far they’ve come instead of fixating on how far they still have to go. Rach emphasizes that setbacks can become assets in your next chapter and that practices meant for personal growth should ultimately help you move forward and not keep you analyzing the past.

In this preview episode of this month's premium version of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rachel explores how meaningful change comes from raising the minimum standards you’re willing to accept in your life rather than constantly chasing your maximum potential. She explains how relationships, health, business, and personal growth are shaped by the baseline behaviors and expectations we consistently maintain, and shares how powerful catalysts like frustration, embarrassment, or simply being fed up can push us to establish a new standard. Rachel encourages listeners to identify an area where they’re ready to say “never again” and use that feeling as motivation to create a higher baseline they can actually sustain.

Ultimately, she acknowledges that parenting can be exhausting, lonely, chaotic, and imperfect while still describing raising her four children as the most meaningful experience of her life.
