A lot has been going on in Rachel’s life lately. After hosting a big Halloween celebration, her family was off to Portugal the very next day. But the journey brought with it a lot more than Rachel bargained for. She shares the story through the airport, on the plane, to a taxi cab - and into a very dark place in Rachel’s mind filled with fear, anxiety, and an overwhelming sense of impending doom. It was a place she hasn’t been for many, many years - and thought she had healed from.  How can we know that we have truly conquered our fears? What if we are just living a life that caters to our issues? Can we continue to look deeper within and be honest with ourselves? Maybe it’s less about not falling apart, and more about supporting ourselves so that when we do fall apart, we are held. As usual, today’s episode is shared straight from the heart and will make you feel better if you’re ever caught up in a negative thinking pattern.

Without knowing how we really got here, today’s episode is all about poop, germs, and bathroom situations. Rachel begins discussing her Halloween party and the realization that hit her when she discovered: where is everyone gonna go to the bathroom? This leads to some pretty hilarious and worrisome storytelling, from renting a porta potty for her party, to an incident in a public bathroom in Mexico, and something that happened to Rachel one time on the beach. As a bit of a germaphobe, Rachel shares how she navigates motherhood during these tricky situations, the funny differences of being a girl mom versus a boy mom, and how to cultivate our children’s intuition through it all. At the end, she gives an update on a prank she’s been playing. It’s a very entertaining episode with lots of laughs and some important insight.

What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? In today’s episode, Rachel is going through transition. She talks about a big change happening in her family that is bringing about a different routine. With space opening up in her day, she feels on the cusp of creating something incredible. But there is always that voice in the back of our heads telling us that we are not good enough. Telling us that we are going to fail. How do we find the courage to take the leap anyways?  Maybe it’s all about fighting for inspiration, doing the work every day, and committing to yourself. Maybe it’s about learning to get intimate with our fears, shame, and vulnerabilities. And maybe it’s about the simple truth that trying and failing is better than not trying at all. It’s how you figure out who you are. Tune in for an episode that will motivate you to get started, no matter what your creative endeavor.
