Today’s episode begins with a grounding and a moment to anchor into your body - exactly what you may need if you’ve been feeling stressed or overwhelmed. This is how Rachel has been feeling lately. She discusses her new accelerated work day; the first time she has been working at this pace since her burnout. Old patterns have been cropping up, she’s had trouble sleeping, but it’s all for a beautiful reason: she is opening an exciting new venture with her brother, Ala Farms.
She shares the whole story of Ala Farms, from how this land came to be owned by Rachel’s ancestors, to what the property is now, and the vision she has for it. Sometimes big steps can throw us off balance, but maybe it’s all part of the balance of life - and beginning something that makes your heart soar. Tune in to hear the high highs, the low lows, and the journey in between.

Still Healing: Mold, Heartbreak and The Story of Bear
There are some memories that imprint themselves on our bodies. When we think about them again, those same feelings still linger and make themselves known. And when the time is right, we get presented with opportunities to heal in ways that we couldn’t in the past.
In today’s episode, Rachel is four year post mold - and still processing and healing from this very difficult chapter of her life. She goes on a walk down memory lane and shares some stories she hasn’t before, including the full story of Bear, Lea’s stuffed animal. It all leads to where she is right now, feeling sad and grateful at the same time. Tune in for the journey.

In Tune with the Moon: How to Live According To Your Cycle
Do you live in tune with your monthly cycle? Do you rest when your body is calling you to rest? Do you stand in your power when you have more energy? In today’s episode, Rachel has just started her period. She shares how she has been feeling this time around, from her philosophical ponderings, to struggling with feeling small, and a funny story involving Dennis.
Our cycles can often determine what we need in a day: how much rest we should get, how creative we feel, how we should nourish ourselves. But we don’t always listen to it. This episode will inspire you to get to know your cycle intimately. Being on your period can be a time of true connection and lead to a deeper understanding of yourself, but we are taught to pretend nothing is different. Tune in to change how you move through your day and listen to what your body is telling you.
