If you’ve been feeling “off” lately — not broken, not failing, just quietly disconnected from your own life — this episode is going to speak to you. Today, Rachel Brooks opens up about a season so many women silently walk through: the feeling of being stuck, even when everything looks fine on the outside.

This isn’t about laziness or lack of motivation. It’s about the internal shift that happens when who you’ve been no longer fits who you’re becoming. In this honest, reflective conversation, Rachel unpacks why this happens, what it means, and how to listen to the deeper guidance pulling you forward.

If you’re tired in a way sleep can’t fix… if you’ve outgrown a version of yourself… if you’re craving clarity, direction, or permission to slow down — you’re not alone. You’re not behind. You’re not failing. You’re becoming.
