Embracing Summer: Farm Life, Midsommar, and Finding Joy

Manifesting the life of your dreams takes hard work - there’s no denying that. And with that can come stress, anxiety, a feeling of overwhelm, and many struggles along the way. In today’s episode, Rachel shares everything that is unfolding in her life right now, from the happenings at her own homestead (where the bees may have swarmed at a neighbor’s house), to how things are going on the family farm as they open the farm store and cafe. With so much happening at the same time, it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

Is there a way to appreciate stressful moments if they are bringing you somewhere beautiful? How can we do everything and keep our feet planted on the ground at the same time? Today’s episode will remind you to be proud of yourself through the busy seasons - you are creating something magical. At the end of the day, staying anchored in your reason why will carry you through to the end. 

P.S. Rachel’s farm store and cafe at Ala Gård are now officially open for business! Follow them on Instagram at @ala_farms for more, or visit them at Vassunda-Örby 41 in Knivsta, Sweden.

The Birds, The Bees, and The Farm: Creating Magic Despite Stress and Overwhelm

This show is usually full of big epiphanies, realizations, and moments of healing, with Rachel sharing the whole story and how she made her way to the final result. But today’s episode… is not one of those episodes. Rachel shares in real time everything she is struggling with right now. Over the past few weeks, she has been overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious, and she can’t seem to find a balance or a middle ground with everything on her plate. 

Is it possible to create the life of our dreams and not burn ourselves out along the way? Should we deprive ourselves of the things we want to create if we can’t find balance? Is there a way to heal from perfectionism? This episode is a vulnerable and honest moment of storytelling as Rachel sits with a lot of questions and not many answers. Tune in if you relate.

The Home Retreat: Past Selves, New Healing, and A Full Circle Experience

If you’ve been feeling anxious lately because of the state of the world, today’s episode is like a long hug.

It’s often a balancing act between taking in the news and focusing on our children, our families, and our own lives.

Anxiety, The State of the World, and Life In Between

Rachel answers this question with personal stories and gives specific practices you can do to return to a place of trust.
The second question asks about social media. How can we find balance when it comes to screen time? Are there other ways to build community? Is there a way to balance the good and the bad of the online world? Tune in for a personal and beautiful episode straight from the heart.

Ask Rachel: Your Body Tells The Truth

In today’s episode, Rachel opens up about an area of her life that she has kept private for the past couples of years - and a story she never thought she would tell. It is a vulnerable and intimate story about her pelvic floor. After learning she had a low-grade prolapse after her first birth, Rachel discovered this was affecting many areas of her life. Walking was uncomfortable, dancing led to embarrassing situations, and she felt her vitality slipping away. 
But then she learned how common this experience was. Did you know that as many as 50% of women may experience a prolapse after birth? This episode is Rachel’s journey into all things pelvic health; from reproductive care to contraceptives, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She shares what she went through growing up, what she experienced after birth, and most importantly, how she healed.

Re-Inspiring Yourself, Remembering Your Why, and Beginning Right Now

Today’s episode is a really open and honest sharing straight from Rachel’s heart. She begins by talking about the season of winter, and what winter is asking of us during these months. Winter is a time to slow down, move inward, and rest. It’s a time to anchor into our self worth, even when we are doing nothing of “value”. But Rachel often finds her mind telling her the exact opposite. She openly discusses her struggle, her grief, and how this time of year reminds her of her best friend who passed away, and all the things she used to tell Rachel when she was stuck in her “doing” mind.
At the end of the episode, Rachel goes a bit deeper on how her company is for sale and how she has integrated that news over the past couple of days. Tune in for a lovely chat that will remind you that the truth to everything lies in the present moment… when things are quiet. Sometimes all you have to do is take the cue from nature.
