Description

In this Ask Rach episode, Rachel answers two powerful listener questions that so many women can relate to. First, a caller asks how to take care of herself without feeling completely burnt out. Rachel shares how burnout is often a symptom of overcommitting, and why the key to recovery is aligning your time and energy with your deepest values. Then, another caller opens up about the struggle of balancing work, home, and life with a new baby. Rachel offers her signature big sister advice on why “balance” is a myth, what rhythm looks like in real life, and how to keep perspective in the hardest seasons. With practical wisdom, humor, and heart, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone and you don’t have to do it all.
