I think that's one of the hardest saddest things I don't know if any of

you all feel like this being in a family any of you in a family where you've done

your therapy and you've done your work and lots of people in your family have that your kids, I'm going to do something different. It is so sad to me to look at so many family members

that I don't really have a relationship with, or if I have a relationship it's a very surface

level there's nothing real there and I tell you right now if my kids grew up

if my kids 40 years old and they're like yeah, I don't you know I don't really my mom like she didn't do her work like she's just if my kid was saying I can't really have a relationship with this person because they don't do their own work

and it's too hard to know like I can't imagine feeling worse.

Hi, I'm Rachel, and in this show, we talk about everything.

Life and work, health and healing, relationships with others and

with ourselves. These are stories for the seekers. These are conversations for the curious. This is the Rachel Hollis

podcast. Hi guys. Welcome to another episode of show and a new edition in our series called Ask Rachel

which is where people call in and leave me a voicemail asking me all kinds of questions, life and business and relationships and intimacy.

I mean, you name it, we've had the question in these episodes and you and I listen to the

voicemails together and then I answer in real time to give my thoughts.

If this is your first time listening to this and maybe you're wondering like oh I didn't know that this random chick was a

clinical psychologist or I'm not I have no actual

credentials for why people ask me advice, but they do. So if you want to hear what a random chick on the internet thinks about how to manage your stress levels or whether or not

you should ask out your neighbor.

That's what these episodes are all about.

Why don't we just jump in and hear what the questions are today?

Hi, Rage, my name is Lindsey.

I love your show.
