Don't hold anything too tightly. Just wish for it, want it, let it come from the intention

of real truth for you, and then let it go.

For me, our soul is like it's unbound, it's limitless, but we will use words to limit ourselves.

When people stop believing that somebody's got your back or Superman's coming, we turn

to ourselves, and that's where you become empowered.

Courageous participation attracts positive things.

I'm Gwyneth Paltrow, and this is the Goop Podcast, where we bring together

visionaries, scientists, healers, artists, and seekers. I'm so grateful that I get to

interview these extraordinary thought leaders and share their wisdom with you.

And I love listening to the conversations that are led by my co-host and dear friend,

Cleo Wade. Cleo is a beautiful poet and author. I deeply admire her in the way she keeps her

heart open to the world. Together, we believe that engaging an open-minded, honest, and sometimes

difficult conversations has the power to change our lives. All right, over to Cleo.

Today's guest is Rachel Cargill. Rachel is an activist, entrepreneur, and author of the new book,

A Renaissance of Our Own, a memoir in Manifesto on Reimagining. I've admired Rachel's work as a

public thinker for a really long time, and I was so thrilled to finally get a chance to speak with her.

In her book, Rachel explores the ways in which were capable of profound transformation

on a personal level in our communities and beyond. Today, Rachel shares her personal story of self-discovery

and how it changed the course of her life. We talked about the power of rest, what it means to be

an alignment with our values, and how to embrace and deepen the relationship to our bodies.

I love the way Rachel contextualized self-care and how being our best self is our highest service.

Okay, let's cut to my chat with Rachel Cargill.
