Christmas Season Updates, From the Heart

It is time for the most important practice we will do to prepare for 2025. In today’s episode, Rachel shares her Intention Setting Ceremony, where you will sit with your journal and call in your heart’s longing for 2025. Rachel will guide you through the entire practice, from setting up an altar, to shaking off any feelings with a dance party, sitting down to quietly ground - and then begin.
Focusing on the four main areas of your life - your home, body, mind, and soul - you will close a chapter and define what comes next. What feeling do you want to embody by the end of the coming year? What is the most beautiful version of 2025 that you can imagine if you had all resources at hand? With actionable journaling prompts, what may have seemed unclear will be brought into full focus. At the end of this practice, you will have 12 goals to work toward, as well as a clear intention, affirmation, and word of the year to guide you toward something new. Tune in to call all your longings into existence. The universe listens.

Becoming Your Future Self with Mimi Bouchard

Welcome back to From the Heart. This week on the show, Rachel is finally home after a winter ski vacation, and she is settling into her usual routine. She shares about her time on the slopes with her family, the big overhaul she has done when it comes to her diet and counting her macros, and also what it felt like returning home after a long time away.
While vacations are special, it’s ultimately the little everyday moments that make life completely worthwhile. Taking your first sip of coffee in the morning. Laughing with your children. Sitting on the couch with your husband. At the end of your life, these are the times you will remember. Maybe we don’t always need to reach for the stars, but sometimes just appreciate the small, slow moments that make you feel alive. Tune in for the inspiration to slow down and find meaning in the little things.

The Mundane Magic of Life

What do the stars have in store for us in 2025? In today’s episode, Rachel is joined by our favorite astrologer, Debra Silverman, to share the astrology forecast for the year ahead. Together they discuss your soul versus your ego, how to slow down and live a life grounded in self-acceptance, using astrology to find fulfillment as we age, and Rachel’s own chart and the big shifts she has seen recently. Then of course, Debra shares her predictions for what is ahead and how to prepare, for each sun sign from Aries to Pisces. Tune in as Debra offers a message of hope and helps you peel back the layers of 2025 and find the tools you need to embrace your true, authentic self. Astrology can teach you how you love, how you act, what motivates you and… it gives you a permission slip to come home to yourself.

The Astrology Forecast of 2025 with Debra Silverman

Today’s episode is a sensitive topic and Rachel has a big story to tell. It is time to talk about how she culled three roosters and ate them on the farm. Beginning the episode with a discussion on nourishment, veganism, postpartum, and losing and gaining weight, Rachel shares where she was before and how she feels in her body now. 
She then shares how she came to this place - from being vegan to finding a deep urge within her to live off the land the way her ancestors did before her. And finally, she comes to her roosters and shares the entire story, from hatching them, to culling them, and eating them. Tune in for a vulnerable episode on learning, reverence, and life and death.

The Circle of Life (and how three roosters changed my life)

Today’s episode is another segment of Ask Rachel, where listeners call in and receive answers from the heart. But before she dives into your questions, Rachel shares a little bit about her difficulties over the past week - with the state of the world, inside her own family, and her struggle to be vulnerable and tell the truth.
Your questions brought out two clear themes of the day. The first theme is about quitting veganism, how to ethically transition to eating animal proteins, and the best way to have that conversation with your kids. Second, a theme surrounding long-term relationships emerged. How do you forgive someone and move on when they caused you a lot of hurt? And how do you know when the one is really the one? Rachel dives into her own storytelling, sharing about her past relationships and how she knew it was always Dennis. Tune in for a conversational episode that feels like you’re grabbing coffee with a good friend.

Bonus Episode: Yoga Girl is For Sale

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.

Winter Wants You to Slow Down

In this episode Rachel shares her all-time favorite books on Yoga and Spirituality. She dives into the words that came along with her on adventures, the stories that supported her, and the passages that changed her life. Books often represent so much more than the paper they are made out of. To Rachel, her books are sacred keepsakes that are filled with little notes, letters, and pictures that tell the story of what she was feeling as she held these books in her hand. 
Do you have books in your life that you return to again and again for many different reasons? From “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle, “Be Here Now” by Ram Dass, Pema Chodron’s “When Thing’s Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times” to Rasha’s “Oneness”, join Rachel as she shares the personal connection she has to her favorite books and stories from her own life inspired by each one.
