This episode is an invitation to reconsider what it actually means to be awake. We talk about the difference between being informed and being consumed, how constant exposure to distress can quietly disconnect us from ourselves, and why choosing creation, joy, and regulation isn’t avoidance — it’s sustainability. A grounded reflection for navigating this moment without losing your nervous system in the process.Retreats: www.playfulembodiment.com/retreat(September 2026 - Location to be announced soon!)Functional Mushroom Electrolytes: www.lucidhydration.com (code RACHEL)Music by Rockot on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/users/rockot-1947599/
What if everything you’ve been chasing — joy, love, clarity, even gratitude — starts with one simple thing? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the true meaning of safety: in your body, your mind, your relationships, your work, and your environment. We’ll explore what it feels like when safety is missing, why your nervous system keeps you on alert, and practical, tender ways to begin cultivating real safety in your life. This is for anyone who’s felt constantly on edge, disconnected, or unsure if they’re even allowed to feel secure. By the end, you’ll have tools, guidance, and heartfelt encouragement to start weaving safety back into your life — and with it, the space to finally access joy, love, and freedom.Retreats: www.playfulembodiment.com/retreat(September 2026 - Location to be announced soon!)Functional Mushroom Electrolytes: www.lucidhydration.com (code RACHEL)Music by Rockot on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/users/rockot-1947599/
This episode explores grief as a sacred portal rather than a problem to fix. From honoring past identities to consciously releasing old versions of self, we’ll dive into how grief lives in the body, why intentional grieving matters, and how ceremony can support death and rebirth.

Ever feel like life hands you the same lesson again… just packaged differently? This episode is a gentle reflection on deepening, not starting over.

Everything feels like it’s falling apart — and that’s exactly the point. In this episode, we explore why the endings of 2025 (a 9 year, year of the snake) are necessary, how to flow with the current instead of fighting it, and why the new year (2026, a 1 year, year of the horse) will feel lighter — But only after a sacred pause of integration. trust the process, honor the rest, and prepare for forward momentum.Retreats: www.playfulembodiment.com/retreat(Sedona, AZ - Jan 16-19, 2026, September 2026 - Location to be announced soon!)Functional Mushroom Electrolytes: www.lucidhydration.com (code RACHEL)Music by Rockot on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/users/rockot-1947599/

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like your brain just won’t let you move forward, this episode will help you understand why.

In this episode, I’m sharing the unexpected truths that came up for me during yoga teacher training—and why choosing to walk away was one of the most aligned decisions I’ve made. We talk about personal growth, intuition, permission to pivot, and the beauty of trying new things without needing to “finish” them. This one’s for anyone who’s afraid to start something because they’re scared they might not stick with it. Sometimes the point isn’t to finish... sometimes it’s just to begin.
For the first time ever, I walked away from a music festival thinking “wow, that was challenging.” Max and I share about our collective experience at Lightning in a Bottle, going through the ups and downs and everything in between.
Ever caught yourself thinking everyone around you is cooler, more talented, or more ‘together’ than you? In this episode, I open up about a subconscious belief that’s quietly shaped my life—and how I’m rewriting it. From childhood memories to major business pivots, I share how the habit of putting others on pedestals has impacted my confidence, and how I’m learning to reclaim my seat at the table. This is a tender, real, and empowering reflection with practical tools to help you rewrite your mental software and remember your magic.

Plus, a glimpse into what’s next for me. Join me for an honest conversation about trusting the process and embracing the path meant for you.
In this deeply personal episode, I share my ‘aha’ moment of finally naming my past experiences as emotional abuse—and the layers of shame, guilt, and self-doubt that came with it. We’ll explore how trauma diffuses over time, why we minimize our own pain by comparing it to others, and how reclaiming our truth is the key to healing. Plus, I’ll guide you through a powerful visualization to call back your energy and step into your strength. If you’ve ever struggled to validate your own experiences, this episode is for you.
