Welcome to another episode of From the Heart. Today Rachel begins with a meditation - something all our hearts need - to settle into the moment and open ourselves up to receive. When the world feels dark, when our days feel like a never-ending to-do list, we have to make sure that we are making joy a priority in the small moments we have for ourselves. There is no other way to carry on.  Rachel talks about how she is leaning into joy as her life accelerates. Spring is getting closer, she’s preparing to open her farm store, lead a retreat and fulfill her own garden projects, and all these activities are keeping her anchored in joy. You have full permission to appreciate the beauty you have in your life. It’s the only way you can exist alongside the darkness of the world and be part of the change.  At the end of the show, Rachel gives an update on Ringo after his recent surgery. Tune in for a fun episode filled with life updates, dreams, and joy as rebellion.

Maybe the apocalypse isn’t what you see in the movies. It’s not power grids collapsing, fires burning everywhere, and zombies coming for us all. Instead, it looks like society being okay with abuse and asking us all to move on. In today’s episode, Rachel has entered a new level of feminine RAGE. She talks more about the abuse women and children suffer at the hands of men and the micro-aggressions from non abusers that keep us all from holding the bad men accountable. It’s time for the men to step up. Rachel’s shares hard conversations she’s had with her own husband and how you can speak to your partner about what a just and equitable world looks like. If we are going to survive the patriarchy, we need our men to listen. Tune in for an emotional and fiery episode that may be the spark we need.

As a mother, as a woman, and as a business owner, she shares stories of people she almost worked with that were in the files, and experiences from when she was young that shaped her. If you are not feeling the rage then you are not listening. Tune in for an episode that will inspire you to look closely at the fabric of the society we live in and know in your heart: it’s time to burn it all to the ground.

If you’re a parent, you may have heard a million different theories on how to best raise children. But here’s the thing: none of those people have ever been in your shoes and they’ve never raised your kids. In today’s episode, Rachel talks about parenting from intuition and from your own lived experience.  Do we really need advice from experts, ChatGPT, or a hundred parenting books telling us what to do, or is this something we just innately know? Is it okay to lecture other people’s kids? Can we be friends with our kids or do we always have to be that authoritarian figure? Maybe parents don’t need more boxes to check on the parenting checklist. Maybe they just need more support so they can do what they already know how to do. Tune in for an episode that will guide you on your own journey in parenthood and remind you to always lead with love and compassion.

In today’s episode, Rachel is talking to you from the first day of her moon, feeling very vulnerable and sad. She begins by sharing her views on the injustices occurring in every corner of the planet. When we are separated geographically, but still feeling these intense emotions for others, what can we do? One answer is to connect deeply to our feminine. Rachel gains some momentum and shares a practice she has to really express her feminine energy - the ugly dance. If you ever feel the need to embody your emotions through movement, to act out and rage against the insanity of the world, or to step into your fullest expression of self, the ugly dance is the answer. Maybe no one has taught us what healthy anger looks like - and maybe no one has given us permission to touch the ugliest parts of ourselves - but this episode will. Tune in to go there.
