Welcome to our end of year reflection that will help you close the chapter of what was 2024 and move on to something new. In this episode, Rachel will guide you through a full practice, working your way through everything the year brought your way.
What was magical in 2024? What was really hard? What were the big epiphanies you discovered? What are you most grateful for? And what are you leaving behind? This is one of our favorite and most popular practices that we do every single year on the show, so grab some tea, your journal and a pen, and let’s dive in. (And don’t forget, next week on the show we will sit down for our big intention setting ceremony for 2025!).

Today is a very exciting day on From the Heart because we are joined by none other than Tori Dunlap (you know her as @herfirst100K on Instagram). She is a money expert, badass businesswoman, bestselling author, podcast host, and THE Financial Feminist. By the time Tori was 25, she had saved up her first 100K, and now she empowers other women to fight the patriarchy - and get rich!
In this episode, her and Rachel dive into all things from how to save (with a step by step plan!), investing and ethical investing, and crypto currency. They also take a look at much deeper issues, such as why the system is the way it is, SHAME and why women feel is so much more than men, and how financial literacy really is the best form of protest. If you are looking for the path to financial freedom, it’s time to tune in.

With some beautiful insights on breaking cycles, how to handle crises, and the pressures put on women by society, this episode will leave you with a sense of peace in yourself and the will to move forward.

There are a lot of feelings being felt this week in the United States. Some people are grieving, some people are celebrating, and all around tensions are running high. In today’s episode of From the Heart, Rachel talks about what is on everyone’s mind at the moment: the results of the election. She shares why she was less vocal on social media this time around before jumping into how she actually feels about it all.
With so many differing viewpoints, how can we find the middle ground and remain a cohesive community? Is it possible to hold another’s viewpoint in your heart and actually listen to them? Where are we heading collectively as a society? And what, if anything, can we be hopeful for? As usual, Rachel unpacks all of this from the heart. Tune in for an episode that offers some comfort, some solace, and some space to be human no matter how you are feeling.

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.

Without knowing how we really got here, today’s episode is all about poop, germs, and bathroom situations. Rachel begins discussing her Halloween party and the realization that hit her when she discovered: where is everyone gonna go to the bathroom? This leads to some pretty hilarious and worrisome storytelling, from renting a porta potty for her party, to an incident in a public bathroom in Mexico, and something that happened to Rachel one time on the beach.
As a bit of a germaphobe, Rachel shares how she navigates motherhood during these tricky situations, the funny differences of being a girl mom versus a boy mom, and how to cultivate our children’s intuition through it all. At the end, she gives an update on a prank she’s been playing. It’s a very entertaining episode with lots of laughs and some important insight.

What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? In today’s episode, Rachel is going through transition. She talks about a big change happening in her family that is bringing about a different routine. With space opening up in her day, she feels on the cusp of creating something incredible. But there is always that voice in the back of our heads telling us that we are not good enough. Telling us that we are going to fail. How do we find the courage to take the leap anyways?
Maybe it’s all about fighting for inspiration, doing the work every day, and committing to yourself. Maybe it’s about learning to get intimate with our fears, shame, and vulnerabilities. And maybe it’s about the simple truth that trying and failing is better than not trying at all. It’s how you figure out who you are. Tune in for an episode that will motivate you to get started, no matter what your creative endeavor.

When we want to make a change or step into a new version of ourselves, the thing that is holding us back isn’t just logistics, resources, or time.

We all face daily frustrations; those little moments that throw us off balance and make us feel like nothing is going our way. If it feels like life is working against you, today’s episode will share one of the most important self-care practices that can calm you in just a few moments.

Sometimes pausing to consider your needs can go a long way.
In the middle of the episode, there is space to hold your own heart and consider something uplifting: maybe, just maybe, learning to ride the waves of daily frustrations will be a life vest when the universe throws you a major curveball. Tune in for an emotional share from the heart.
