Summary

Rachel’s stay in Aruba has come to a close. With her husband and son spending an extra week, she discusses the impending sense of separation anxiety she feels leaving them behind. At the same time, she is experiencing a rare migraine, which leaves her wondering - how many of the ailments we feel in our body are purely emotional and energetic? What if the mind is responsible for a lot more than we really know? With all of this happening, Rachel shares some final stories from her time in Aruba, including what has changed on the island since her last time visiting and how family gatherings go with Dennis’ side. She then shares about her plans for Sweden as she returns home. It’s a lighthearted episode that will leave you uplifted and thoughtful. In the spirit of throwing it back to 2016, Rachel has a new yoga class out on Patreon with a playlist and poses from a class she taught way back in the day. Take the class here.
