Summary

Today’s episode begins with a grounding and a moment to anchor into your body - exactly what you may need if you’ve been feeling stressed or overwhelmed. This is how Rachel has been feeling lately. She discusses her new accelerated work day; the first time she has been working at this pace since her burnout. Old patterns have been cropping up, she’s had trouble sleeping, but it’s all for a beautiful reason: she is opening an exciting new venture with her brother, Ala Farms. She shares the whole story of Ala Farms, from how this land came to be owned by Rachel’s ancestors, to what the property is now, and the vision she has for it. Sometimes big steps can throw us off balance, but maybe it’s all part of the balance of life - and beginning something that makes your heart soar. Tune in to hear the high highs, the low lows, and the journey in between.
