Today on the Rise Podcast, it's my pleasure to bring you another chapter from the audiobook

of Girl Stop Apologizing. I'm Rachel Hollis and I've built a multi-million dollar media company

interviews with the same intention. These are the tools to change your life and your business.

This is the Rise Podcast.
