In this edition of "Ask Rach" on The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach tackles three listener questions about navigating difficult relationships, protecting your energy, and knowing when it's time to put yourself first. She offers advice to a woman struggling to watch her best friend repeatedly pursue an unhealthy relationship, emphasizing the importance of respecting other people's choices while establishing emotional boundaries. Rachel also explores how to maintain a positive, growth-oriented mindset when your partner sees the world through a more pessimistic lens, reminding listeners that they don't need to change someone else's beliefs to stay true to their own. Finally, Rach delivers some tough love to a woman considering moving cities with a boyfriend who has relied on her financially for years, encouraging her to recognize the difference between supporting a partner and carrying an unequal relationship. Throughout the episode, she reminds listeners that loving someone doesn't mean sacrificing their own peace, independence, or well-being.

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.

She explains why it’s important to pay attention to the connection between physical and mental health and offers practical tools for navigating days when you’re feeling especially low, including focusing on the bare minimum, listening to uplifting music, moving your body, checking in on your physical health, and interrupting negative thought patterns. Rachel also emphasizes the importance of being honest with loved ones about how you’re feeling, giving yourself grace during difficult moments, and recognizing that even the smallest acts of self-care can help you gradually find your way back to feeling like yourself. She reminds listeners that while these strategies aren't a substitute for professional help with clinical depression, small, intentional choices can make a meaningful difference when you're struggling emotionally.

Rachel also offers tough love for anyone stuck on an unavailable partner, emphasizing that real love chooses you back and that sometimes moving forward requires completely cutting contact, filling the empty space with new experiences, and choosing yourself instead.

In this throwback episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach dives into one of her favorite topics—the law of attraction—and shares 11 practices she believes can help you manifest the life you want more quickly. She explains the importance of paying attention to your words, thoughts, and emotions; visualizing what you want; taking tangible action; using mantras, gratitude, prayer, and written goals; and surrounding yourself with people who support the future you’re trying to create. Rachel emphasizes that manifestation isn’t simply about wishing for something to happen, it requires changing how you show up, doing the work to move toward what you want, and ultimately learning to trust the process without becoming overly attached to when or how the result arrives.

Rachel emphasizes focusing on what you can control, creating emotional boundaries, and continuing to do the inner work so past experiences don’t determine your future or get passed on to the next generation.

In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach challenges listeners to stop waiting for January 1st to change their lives and instead use the final 90 days of the year to build momentum toward the person they want to become. She introduces her “Five to Thrive” habits: making an hour each day for yourself, drinking more water, giving up something you know isn’t serving you, moving your body for at least 30 minutes, and practicing daily gratitude. Rachel emphasizes that knowing what will improve your life isn’t enough—you have to consistently apply that knowledge, embrace discomfort, and create the structure and accountability necessary to turn better choices into lasting habits.

This episode is actually a video over on YouTube, and it’s much more fun to watch there because I’m making chicken salad while teaching you about goals (hence the chopping you'll hear if you listen to this instead of watch) 😂 But the lesson works just as well in your headphones!

The way I set goals at 43 looks VERY different from the way I chased them at 23. 

In this episode, I’m breaking down the three eras I’ve gone through: Aspiration, Conviction, and Compounding, and what each one taught me about actually getting where I want to go.

And these aren’t really about age. They’re about the season you’re in. So the question is: Which era are you in right now, and what does that mean for how you should go after your goals?
