The Rachel Martin Podcast

Midweek motivation coming at you from Rachel Martin, here to remind you that the fastest way to the top of your hill—literal or metaphorical—is to stop fearing failure and start chasing it. Inspired by Sarah Blakely’s kitchen table tradition, we flip the script on what “failure” means. You’ll learn why failure is data, how it fuels the FIO Mindset, and why embracing it speeds up your success. Whether you’re running up a monster hill or tackling a big life goal, this quick hit will get you moving, believing, and figuring it out along the way.

Sometimes the path you start on isn’t the one that gets you to the top—and that’s okay. In this Monday Motivation, I share why pivoting isn’t failure, it’s wisdom in motion, and how the real win is simply reaching the summit, no matter the route you took.

If you’re staring at a hill—literal or figurative—this is your reminder to keep moving, trust the pivots, and celebrate when you get there.

In this FIO Friday episode, I share a 3 AM story from crewing the Race Across America—where exhaustion, doubt, and self-questioning collided. And what I realized in that moment? It wasn’t about waiting for clarity. It was about staying in it.

If you’re in the messy middle, this episode is your reminder that progress doesn’t always come with fireworks—sometimes, it comes from simply refusing to stop.

Your FIO Move this week: Stay in it. Take the next small step. Let presence be your progress.

Keep figuring it out!

What if your thoughts aren’t the truth—just noise?
In this episode, we talk about what it really means to observe your thoughts instead of obey them. I share my own bold move of the week (launching this podcast in real-time) and how I flipped the thought that tried to stop me.

You’re not stuck. You’re just believing the wrong voice.

This is your invitation to FIO your thoughts—and take the next step anyway.

Start Here: What It Means to FIO

Welcome to the first episode of The Rachel Martin Podcast—home of FIO Fridays and real conversations about taking action before you have it all figured out.

In this intro episode, I’m sharing why I created this show, what FIO really means (Figure It Out), and how we stop letting overthinking run the show. If you’ve ever waited for the perfect time, the right plan, or the feeling of “ready”—this is your invitation to move anyway.

You don’t need more time.
You need to FIO.
