The Rachel Roth Show

When Kiana Danial lost her job on Wall Street, she could have seen it as an end. Instead, she saw it as the beginning of something extraordinary. Today, Kiana is the founder of Invest Diva—a platform dedicated to helping women step confidently into the world of finance. 

Through her work, Kiana is breaking down the barriers that often keep women feeling powerless or intimidated by money, transforming financial literacy into an essential skill for every woman.

In this episode, Kiana sits down with Rachel to share her story, beginning with her early experiences in Japan and Iran, where discussing money was considered taboo. That background gave her a unique perspective, fueling her passion to build a community where women could openly discuss and learn about finances. She understood firsthand the struggles and self-doubt that many women face around money, and she wanted to change that narrative.

For Kiana, financial empowerment isn’t just about having wealth—it’s about having peace of mind. She knows what it’s like to worry about the next dollar, to feel uncertain in a world dominated by masculine energy and traditionRachel Roth Show- Podcast Content Planningal financial norms. But through Invest Diva, she teaches women that they, too, can make confident investment decisions, grow their income, and build what she calls a “wealth ecosystem.”

Kiana’s mission is to show women that financial security isn’t reserved for the few—it’s achievable for anyone willing to take the first step. She believes that every woman deserves the confidence that comes with financial freedom, and she’s made it her life’s work to make this possible.

Andrea Nakayama is a powerhouse in the world of functional medicine, and her passion for empowering people to reclaim ownership of their health is at the heart of everything she does. 

Andrea’s story is deeply personal, shaped by the struggles and pain she faced after losing her husband. Rather than being consumed by her grief, she honored his legacy by channeling her energy into helping others find hope and healing in their own health journeys.

Her approach highlights the hidden epidemic of inflammation and how external toxins, paired with internal imbalances, can damage our health. Andrea emphasizes non-negotiable health basics: sleep, digestion, and blood sugar regulation. She encourages us to stop being strangers to our bodies and embrace food as medicine.

Through her Functional Nutritional Alliance, Andrea teaches that health is more than just avoiding illness—it's about harnessing the power within us to thrive.

What if you stopped hiding behind perfection? What if you showed up exactly as you are, flaws and all? In this episode, Rachel sits down with Barb Betts for an eye-opening conversation about shedding the fear of judgment, embracing authenticity, and finally kicking imposter syndrome to the curb.

Barb shares her journey of living behind a secret, weighed down by shame and the fear of being judged. But constantly worrying about what others think and striving to please everyone left her feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Her turning point came when she realized that people are going to talk no matter what.

The conversation dives deep into the idea that imposter syndrome is just a story we tell ourselves—a lie that convinces us we’re not enough. Barb admits she struggled with it for years, constantly doubting her worth and downplaying her achievements. 

Barb’s story is a reminder that living authentically takes courage, but it's the key to true confidence and freedom. Imposter syndrome will only hold you back if you let it, so rip the bandaid off, stop telling yourself those fake stories, and start living as the real you.

What if leading with purpose could change everything for you and those around you? In this conversation, Nicole brings fresh insights into what it truly means to lead with passion, and this conversation will leave you ready to step into your calling.

Nicole believes that when leaders root themselves in their mission, they inspire their teams to do the same. Too many leaders are going through the motions, lacking the passion needed to inspire those around them. If you're not connected to your purpose, how can you expect your team to feel that drive?

Nicole emphasizes that leadership is about knowing your team, appreciating them, and helping them connect their personal purpose to the organization’s mission. Productivity multiplies when people feel valued, and passion follows purpose.

“What does your heart break for?” Nicole asks. That’s where purpose is found. It’s not just about what you do—it’s about who you’re called to serve. Imagine a world where every leader tapped into that potential. Could you imagine the impact?

This conversation with Nicole will leave you reflecting on your own calling, and how you can lead with purpose in every aspect of your life. Whether you're a leader or just figuring out your path, this conversation is for you.

Rachel couldn’t be more excited about today’s conversation with Jessica Papineau, the founder of CSJ Styling. Jessica’s story is one of passion, confidence, and the magic that happens when fashion meets identity. From her early days in retail to now transforming women’s lives, Jessica has a gift for helping women feel fantastic about themselves.

When we think about fashion and styling, we often focus on clothes and beauty. But Jessica sees it differently—it’s about stepping into your power as a woman. As Jessica explains, the more insecure you feel, the more you focus inward, caught up in who you think you should be. That insecurity becomes a cycle that only keeps us stuck. But when you feel fantastic about yourself, something amazing happens.

Jessica shared how her love for fashion began in childhood and evolved into a gift she uses to help women feel fantastic. It’s not just about fit and fabric—it’s about shedding insecurities and trying something new, even when fear gets in the way. 

Jessica’s story is inspiring—her ability to align fashion, beauty, and identity is nothing short of a gift. She helps women not just look their best but feel powerful, confident, and ready to take on the world. 

Rachel walked away from their conversation realizing that every woman could benefit from having someone like Jessica in her life—someone who can breathe life into their wardrobe and, more importantly, their confidence.

Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions, no longer fulfilled in your work or life? Maybe you’ve thought about starting over but something keeps holding you back. Whether it’s your current identity, your beliefs, or even your age, taking that leap toward change feels overwhelming. 

If this sounds familiar, you’re in for a treat—Rachel is sitting down with Traci for an amazing conversation on what it takes to walk away from what you’ve built and step into something new. 

Traci, who left her successful career at HGTV, felt the pull for something more. She wasn’t unhappy with her job, but she knew deep down that she was meant for more. That pull led her to hit pause, reassess her life, and start creating something on her own terms.

She realized her career didn’t define her, and despite the fears around money and identity, she knew she had to take control of her life. Traci’s biggest breakthrough? Understanding that what you do is not who you are. We often get trapped in hustle culture and forget to pause and reflect on what truly matters—our passions, values, and how we can apply them across every aspect of life.

We often get stuck in routines that don’t bring us joy, and the thought of self-discovery can feel like a lot. But the key is taking that first step—trusting yourself to find your way forward. Rachel and Traci’s conversation is a reminder it’s time to take a breath and reimagine what’s possible. Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.

Have you ever had a conversation that left you feeling inspired, uplifted, and ready to take on the world? Today’s episode does just that. Rachel had the pleasure of sitting down with Nate Chatfield, a director of soccer and a licensed speaker, who shared his journey of personal growth and the profound impact it’s had on his life. 

Certified through the John Maxwell training program, Nate’s approach to life isn’t just about self-improvement—it’s about using his personal growth to impact those around him. Nate breaks down one of Maxwell’s core principles, the Law of Intentionality. 

Nate and Rachel also explored the Enneagram—a tool that has transformed how he understands and interacts with others. The Enneagram isn’t just about self-awareness. It’s about elevating how we treat each other. Nate believes if we all truly understood ourselves and each other, we’d create stronger, more authentic connections—whether at home, in business, or in friendships.

Nate also shares a raw and personal story about his wife that led him to understand the difference between happiness and joy. Happiness, he says, is fleeting based on what’s happening around you. But joy? Joy is defiant. It’s rooted in knowing who you are and can’t be shaken by your circumstances. “Joy is a choice,” Nate reminds us, and it’s one worth making, even when life tries to pull us down.

For Nate, it all comes back to using his growth to help others. His goal is simple: to add value to every person he meets, leaving them better than he found them. After this conversation, Rachel is confident you’ll walk away feeling both inspired and ready to take meaningful action in your own life.

Rachel sits down with Donna Winship from Identity Exchange, whose incredible experiences and insights have long inspired her. Having completed Donna’s course Knowing Rediscovered, Rachel has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of Donna's teachings on faith and identity. 

Rachel is thrilled to share Donna's impactful experiences and wisdom, knowing her listeners will find this episode enlightening and empowering. Donna’s approach to faith goes beyond traditional practices. 

She emphasizes experiencing God in a personal and transformative way. This means moving past just reading but instead developing a relationship where you actively engage with his presence in your life. It's about rediscovering a personal connection that leads to an inner change and a deeper understanding of your true identity.

Donna explains that we often let the world and our past experiences dictate our perceptions. Instead, she encourages us to be still and know God. Understanding your identity in God is a journey. 

Once you know who you are in God, the real transformation begins. It’s about changing the way you think and understanding that failure is a part of the learning process, not a sign of God's absence.

Donna reminds us that we don’t need to have everything together to approach God. Her insights on identity, faith, and living fearlessly have inspired Rachel to deepen her relationship with God and embrace her identity.

Have you ever felt like political conversations are tearing your relationships apart? If so, you’re not alone.

In a raw and hopeful conversation, Rachel and author, speaker, and storyteller Carlos Whittaker tackled how to stay connected despite differing political views. Carlos, known for his viral message "don't stand on issues…walk with people," shared his unique perspective on the growing divide in our country.

Carlos believes the problem isn't new—division has always existed—but our constant exposure to opinions, especially through our phones, has made it feel more intense. He encourages us to stop standing so firmly on issues and instead walk with others, even when we disagree. 

Carlos’s insights remind us that we can have our opinions without letting them destroy our relationships. Through empathy and understanding, we can bring back meaningful conversations and connection—even when it feels impossible.

Carlos also shared his experience of disconnecting from technology for seven weeks, living with monks and the Amish. During that time, he rediscovered the power of real conversations and the importance of creating safe spaces for disagreement. In a world full of distractions, it's a lesson we all need.

This conversation offers hope for anyone struggling with political differences in their relationships, showing how empathy and connection can help keep those differences from causing division.
