From the Heart with Rachel Brathen

If you are a mother, you probably know the feeling of fear well. In today’s episode, Rachel talks about the biggest trauma her nervous system is still experiencing today - the fear of something happening to her children.

Lea had surgery this week which was a huge experience for their entire family. Rachel shares the entire story from start to finish, and beautifully puts the terror moms can feel into words. It’s a vulnerable episode about the root cause of our fears, a mother’s never-ending love, and how to regulate your nervous system when the ground beneath you feels shaky.

Can we build confidence in our children? Or is confidence something they have to figure out for themselves? This episode brings us another segment of Ask Rachel, where Rachel answers questions from listeners that have called in. She shares her future vision and dreams for the store at Ala Farms and how to deal with roosters so they don’t ruin your life.

Then she answers a really beautiful question on how to build confidence in our children- especially if they are very sensitive. The answer may not be in lifting them up and talking about how perfect they are, but instead being a safe place for them to lean into their insecurities and find their own footing. It’s a fun and open episode that will lift you up and inspire you to love hard and reach for your dreams.

In today’s episode of From the Heart, Rachel shares her process of getting things done and how she stays productive in her daily life. It looks a lot like this: manifesting with the energy of a thousand suns, side questing on the way to another side quest, and then falling apart on the couch with a tub of ice cream once all is said and done. 

We all have different ways that we generate and create. But it all comes down to how we can rest and recover. Do you know what true rest looks like? Are you depleting yourself more than you’re filling yourself up? This is a fun episode of story-telling (and even some duck poop) that will inspire you to work hard, rest hard, and keep building the life that reflects you.

In today’s episode, Rachel shares many opposing thoughts that we are all thinking right now: the world is absurd, crazy and scary - but the world is also full of so many beautiful things. Everywhere we look there is war, genocide, starvation, and terrifying men in positions of power. But there are also children laughing, flowers blooming, and ducks in Rachel’s house! How can these polarities exist at once? And even more so, how can we find happiness and joy amidst the chaos and uncertainty?

Whatever you are doing to take care of yourself right now is beautiful. Whether that looks like small self-care practices or prepping a bunker for the apocalypse (Rachel shares a bit more of her journey here, too!), it all counts. At the end of the day, the only one coming to save you is you. Tune in for an episode that will empower you to remember that you are the one you have been waiting for.
