There are so many things I could cling to about how hard this year has been, what it

is to raise four kids without their dad, what it is to go through the trauma with them

of that whole experience.

That's just one thing.

And I could cling to, I could look for stories that would back up the truth that this is

too hard, that I can't do it, that I'm not capable, but y'all, I will never reach

for the story that disempowers me.

If there are a hundred stories of people in my situation failing and one story of someone

in my situation succeeding, I am laser-focused only on the one story.

And you may call me naïve, but I will take naïve over bitter any day of the week.

And bitterness comes when I tell myself lies about what is possible for my life and I blame

other people for why I'm stuck.

Hi, I'm Rachel Hollis and this is my podcast.

I spend so many hours of every single week reading and listening to podcasts and watching

YouTube videos and trying to find out as much as I can about the world around me.

And that's what we do on this show.

We talk about everything, life and how to be an entrepreneur, what happened to dinosaurs,

what's the best recipe for fried chicken, what's the best plan for intermittent fasting,

what's going on with our inner child, how's therapy working out for you?

Whatever it is my guests are into, I want to unpack it so that we can all understand.

These are conversations, this is information for the curious, this is the Rachel Hollis

podcast.
