From the Heart with Rachel Brathen

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.

Welcome to another episode of From the Heart. Today Rachel begins with a meditation - something all our hearts need - to settle into the moment and open ourselves up to receive. When the world feels dark, when our days feel like a never-ending to-do list, we have to make sure that we are making joy a priority in the small moments we have for ourselves. There is no other way to carry on. Rachel talks about how she is leaning into joy as her life accelerates. Spring is getting closer, she’s preparing to open her farm store, lead a retreat and fulfill her own garden projects, and all these activities are keeping her anchored in joy. You have full permission to appreciate the beauty you have in your life. It’s the only way you can exist alongside the darkness of the world and be part of the change. At the end of the show, Rachel gives an update on Ringo after his recent surgery. Tune in for a fun episode filled with life updates, dreams, and joy as rebellion.
