Summary

A lot has been going on in Rachel’s life lately. After hosting a big Halloween celebration, her family was off to Portugal the very next day. But the journey brought with it a lot more than Rachel bargained for. She shares the story through the airport, on the plane, to a taxi cab - and into a very dark place in Rachel’s mind filled with fear, anxiety, and an overwhelming sense of impending doom. It was a place she hasn’t been for many, many years - and thought she had healed from. How can we know that we have truly conquered our fears? What if we are just living a life that caters to our issues? Can we continue to look deeper within and be honest with ourselves? Maybe it’s less about not falling apart, and more about supporting ourselves so that when we do fall apart, we are held. As usual, today’s episode is shared straight from the heart and will make you feel better if you’re ever caught up in a negative thinking pattern.

0:00.0	On today's episode of the podcast, I start off by sharing our big Halloween village celebration
0:06.6	and how this is definitely something we're going to be doing every year from now on.
0:11.6	And then I move on to sharing that we are in Portugal right now, having a beautiful family
0:16.8	vacation, but that somehow the journey here and many small and big things all colliding
0:24.1	happening at the same time brought me to a really difficult and low mental space where I have
0:32.0	been sitting with a lot of anxiety and fear over the past few days. And you know how sometimes it's just really hard having
0:39.7	your heart live outside of your body when you have kids? I'm in that place right now. And as usual,
0:46.5	I share it all from the heart. Thanks for listening. Let's jump it.
0:59.5	The new five-pound meal deal from McDonald's.
1:02.5	Get a cheeseburger or mayo chicken, medium fries, four McNuggets, and a medium soft drink for guess what?
1:08.2	That's right, five pounds.
1:12.9	It's not called the five pound meal deal for nothing from 11 a.m not available on delivery carbonated soft drink upgrade fees apply
1:18.0	participating restaurants subjects availability hi friends hi welcome back to the show I feel like we
1:26.8	haven't talked in a while, even though it was just a
1:29.6	week ago. We have not had a break in this podcast. It's just that so much has happened since we
1:37.2	spoke last. First of all, I need to preface this show just by saying, I am in Portugal. We're staying at an Airbnb and it's not
1:46.9	the super awesomest conditions to record in. I'm sitting in kind of an echoy room and there's a
1:53.9	pretty loud refrigerator next to me. I'm kind of hoping you can't hear it and that this recording
1:58.6	will be okay. We're also right just in the middle of a very
2:02.1	busy, it's a busy street, but it's a busy walking street. So I thought, okay, it's going to be
2:07.2	pretty quiet anyway to record the podcast because there's not a lot of cars going by. But Portuguese
2:12.5	people are really loud. I mean, the way like Latin American people and Hispanic people are loud, the way most
