Summary

It’s time for another Ask Rachel episode of the podcast - and the questions that came today were really incredible. It was a very mother-centered episode, with guests asking about setting boundaries with their mothers, how to find moments of self-care when you’re a new mother, and how we can really make a change in the world when we are so immersed with raising our kids. Rachel also opens up about a topic she doesn’t speak on much - her relationship with her own mother. It’s a very intimate episode focused on the people who hold so much, and somehow continue to keep giving. Tune in to open your heart. If you have a question for Rachel, you can call her at +1(720) 443-1771.

genuine self-care when you are a new mother in

the trenches. Does it actually exist? What does it look like? How do we genuinely fill our cups?

I got a really heartbreaking question that I know we are all asking ourselves right now, which is how

do we make a change in this world,

especially if we are mothers and navigating family life, is it hopeless or is it not?

1:03.1

And then there's also at the very beginning a question about my relationship with my own mother

1:07.9

and where we are at today. So essentially, it's a very intimate

mother-focused episode today. Jamie Lang and Sophie Haboo have arrived on Disney Plus. We're having a

baby. We're having a baby. I've always wanted to be mom. And we're bringing you on our journey through everything.

Thank you. I have more of an idea.

1:32.5

I think of it like a Tamagocchi.
