Too Long, Didn’t Listen (TLDL):

• Let your tears out. Crying is truth, authenticity, and emotions leaving the body
• Take the time to reflect on periods in your life where you got what you needed in a way that you didn't want or expect.
• If you look at the progression of your life in a linear way (one thing continuously happening after another rather than processing everything as separate events), there is rich opportunity to reflect on how these beautiful gifts arrived in unexpected ways

Season 2 Episode 3 : The European Dating Episode

This episode is Fun, with a capital F!! Rachelle takes you on her adventures through dating, and gets raw when answering the question, "Why date around Europe?!"

Listen in to hear her thoughtfully express the joys and the setbacks of traveling in your 40's, her love of all things culture, and how she experienced the differences between countries; from languages, food, and units of measurement to education around sexual health, relationships, and social norms. All the while exploring how those differences both enriched her experience and made for funny faux pas along the way!

Rachelle wraps it up with a mind-blowing analogy about Tea and Consent that you won't want to miss!

• When the seasons make it so we cannot go outside, we go within to be in the stillness
• Seasonal depression - looking at what’s underneath + the patterns that emerge

Society tells us all the time that to have a healthy relationship with our friends, family, coworkers and certainly in romantic partnership, you have to compromise. Unfortunately, no one teaches us what true compromise is and nobody teaches us how to compromise correctly. Today, Rachelle does just that. She opens up about her own experiences with toxic compromise and shares some common compromise dos and don’ts. Remember, in order for something to be true compromise, both parties must give something.

In this episode of The Shit They Should’ve Taught Us In School:

• Rachelle’s impending plans
• Rachelle’s personal relationship with toxic compromise
• Toxic compromise vs. true compromise
• Things you do not need to compromise on

We’ve all heard about the importance of setting boundaries, but have you ever been given a list of ways to do so? Today, Rachelle reminds us the importance of determining our own boundaries before sharing some effective ways to set boundaries with friends, family, co-workers and partners.

We can never change how others behave, but there is freedom in the fact that we, ourselves, always reserve the right to change.

In this episode of The Shit They Should’ve Taught Us In School:

• Being aware of your own boundaries
• Forewarning others that they may need to set boundaries with you
• Remembering that even firm boundaries will be crossed
• Some effective ways to deliver boundaries
• Finding the freedom in having the power to change

Do you know what’s healthy, free, promotes relaxation, leads to better sleep, reduces stress, clears up acne, helps raise libido, and more?! No, not meditation…It’s MASTURBATION! In this episode, Rachelle initiates the much needed conversation about masturbation. She dives deep into her personal history with masturbation and how she owes it to her parents for her healthy relationship with it in adulthood. She also suggests those who don’t masturbate to inquire why and encourages those within relationships to talk openly with their partners about it. It’s truly sad that something most every human does–and deeply enjoys–is such a taboo topic. So let’s talk about masturbation!

In this episode of The Shit They Should’ve Taught Us In School:

• The problem with men determining what female self-care looks like
• The gender double standard of masturbation
• Some tips for educating children about masturbation
• Why you and your partner should talk about masturbation

While traditional gender roles continue to fade, it’s becoming more and more important to have conversations about which tasks you and the partner you live with are responsible for. In this episode, Rachelle talks about the role that clear division of labor plays in cultivating a well-run household and avoiding resentment. Having these conversations can be nerve wracking and challenging, but the strongest partners–or co-CEOs–do it early and often.

In this episode of The Shit They Should’ve Taught Us In School:

• The importance of allocating roles when you live with your partner
• How actually making a list of who has been doing what often paints a different picture than the one in our minds
• Remembering that some family tasks take more time and energy than others
• Why many of us hesitant to ask for more help

As humans, our entire personality–including the way we give and receive love–forms by the time we’re five years old. On today’s episode, Rachelle explains why it is so important for us to revisit these formative years. Whether it’s talking to our parents, siblings, or friends, we need to question the life lessons we learn in our youth, or we’re subject to living our lives like trained elephants: unaware that the “chains” of our childhood no longer exist, and that we’re actually able to run free. 

In this episode of The Shit They Should’ve Taught Us In School:

• The reasons it’s important to always ask “why”
• How our whole personalities are developed by age five
• The dismantling of our parents being gods
• Why we should question all of our childhood “truths”
• The power of non-verbal communication

From a very early age, society sells us the idea that a woman’s happiness must come from being in a relationship. The social and economic framework of the western world is built off of this idea. Today, Rachelle explains why these notions are simply untrue, and how they lead many of us to settle for less than what we deserve. 

In this episode of The Shit They Should’ve Taught Us In School:

• How society sells women the idea that they need a relationship to be happy
• Why you shouldn’t compromise too much to simply be in a relationship
• Asking for things that you can give in a relationship
• Why it’s okay to ask for a partner who can give you as much as you give them 
• Being willing to wait for a partner that meets your wants and needs, and being okay if that partner never comes
