Summary

In honor of our August Book Club of Girl Wash Your Face I wanted to share the audio version of Chapter One from the book narrated by me. In this chapter I talk about a lie that I know most of us have suffered with "Something Else Will Make Me Happy." My hope is that by sharing my honest stories as a working mother, former foster parent, and a woman who has had all kinds of insecurities about my body and my relationship, is that it will spur other women to live with passion and hustle to awaken their slumbering goals. Enjoy this gift of the Second Chapter!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Rise Podcast. I'm Rachel Hollis and I built a multi-million-dollar
0:06.0	media company with a high school diploma and a Google search bar. Each week
0:11.0	we'll be sharing tangible direct advice or inspiring interviews with the same
0:16.4	intention. These are the tools to change your life. Have you ever felt like if
0:23.3	you only had the perfect job, the perfect partner, the perfect car that you
0:29.5	would be happy? Have you ever considered, oh, someday when I get married, then
0:34.2	I'll be happy or someday when I have a baby, then I'll be happy. Have you ever
0:38.5	made your happiness dependent on something happening? That is a lie that we
0:46.4	tell ourselves and it can be deeply damaging because then we're holding out for
0:51.7	a future that could be years away or might never happen at all. In this week's
0:57.4	Rise Podcast, I wanted to bring you an exclusive from the audiobook of
1:04.0	Girl Wash Your Face and the lie, something else will make me happy. I hope you
1:09.5	enjoy it.
1:14.4	Chapter one, the lie, something else will make me happy. I peed my pants last week.
1:24.5	Not full on peed my pants like that one time at summer camp when I was 10 years
1:29.0	old. We were playing capture the flag and I couldn't hold it a second longer. I
1:33.8	didn't want to admit that I just wet my pants so I doused myself with a bottle of
1:38.9	water. Imagine if you will that once all of my clothes were wet, no one, most
1:44.3	especially Christian Clark, my camp crush, was the wiser. I was resourceful even
1:50.0	then. Did others find it odd that I was suddenly soaking wet? Probably. But I'd
1:56.8	rather be an odd ball than a pants wetter any day of the week. As for last week,
2:02.4	this wasn't that level of peeing my pants. This was just your regular, I pushed
