Summary

It’s time for Ask Rachel on the show! In today’s episode, Rachel takes four beautiful questions from listeners - and each one followed themes of how to move forward, how to anchor into what is happening now, and how to accept change. One listener asked about the farm store, how to get started on doing something similar, and what the timeline should be. Another listener asked how to get out of a slump when you feel stuck. Then the conversation shifted into deeper topics, such as how to transition from early, new love into long-term partnership and the scary decision to shed an old identity and move forward with something new. It’s a meaningful episode that will remind you that life happens in seasons and you’re always on the right track as long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other.
