Hi guys, welcome to another episode of the Rachel Hollis podcast. I'm Rachel Hollis

if we're just meeting for the first time and this is coming to both an audio format and

on my YouTube channel so you can check out either one that makes your heart happy. I am...

I feel like I start every episode by saying that I'm excited about this week's topic,

but I am again and probably I am excited about every topic that I talk about here on the show

because I genuinely get pumped about doing this work and I get really curious about things

and I want to figure stuff out and so when I feel like I've got some ideas that are interesting

or maybe some good questions that I'm asking, I love being able to share that with you.

So I am excited about this week's topic and I'm excited to be recording this podcast episode

in one of my favorite places in the entire world and that is Hawaii. I have been visiting

Hawaii for probably the last 15 years. It is one of the most sacred places in the whole

world to me and I heard once that all of us have certain places on the planet where we're

just aligned with the earth energy. I know. Just go with me. And I think Hawaii is one of those

places for me. I always feel very present. I always feel very connected. I always feel like

the island teaches me or gives me exactly what I need while I'm here. Whether that's

a hard lesson I need to learn or a person to speak to or a book to read. I just love, love,

love being here and I do not take it lightly. I feel really blessed to be able to come here

and spend a little time and I have spent the last several days reading and resting and going

to all my favorite places and it's just really special. So I'm excited to record a podcast here

because I feel like, man, it's the most centered you're ever going to get me. And this is a good one.

This is not something I intended to make a podcast about but I have had such a really

shocking response to this topic in my friend group that it feels like something I want to put out
