What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and had no power? Or the grocery stores had no food? Or there wasn’t any clean water anymore? What would you do if all of a sudden you were expected to live a completely different lifestyle than you are used to? Can we really rely on the government or anyone else to take care of us?

In today’s episode, Rachel talks about prepping for the end of the world. Over the past couple of months, she has felt a deep urge to protect her family and be ready for a potential crisis. She discusses her beliefs growing up in Sweden, and how they have changed over the years and after experiencing Covid. Then she shares real actions her family have taken to feel less panicked and more ready for anything that may come our way. Ultimately, the goal is to feel grounded and taken care of - with that power coming from you instead of anywhere else.

Today’s episode will inspire you to put your hands in the soil and grow something. Rachel shares her entire history with gardening, from how she got started to her intuitive process now. The beautiful thing about gardening is that you can just begin, and nature will take it from there.

Tending to a little plot of land has changed Rachel’s life for the better. This daily work of time spent in the garden working with her hands is shifting something so primal inside of her - and showing her maybe there is another way to live. Maybe growing our own foods is the way out of the existing system that is draining us and taking us away from our children. If we want something to change, we have to be that change. You can start right now by growing some food. Tune in to get inspired.

It’s time for another Ask Rachel episode of the podcast - and the questions that came today were really incredible. It was a very mother-centered episode, with guests asking about setting boundaries with their mothers, how to find moments of self-care when you’re a new mother, and how we can really make a change in the world when we are so immersed with raising our kids.

Rachel also opens up about a topic she doesn’t speak on much - her relationship with her own mother. It’s a very intimate episode focused on the people who hold so much, and somehow continue to keep giving. Tune in to open your heart.
