The Rachel Hollis Podcast

This episode features Rach answering listener voicemails about relationships, pursuing ideas, and chasing dreams later in life. Her advice focuses on self-respect, realistic thinking, and taking action without overcomplicating things.

This episode focuses on how adults can intentionally build meaningful friendships, especially when making friends feels harder than it did in childhood. Rachel argues that friendships in adulthood rarely happen by accident and that they require authenticity, initiative, and intentional effort.

Is there something in your life you already know isn’t working—but you keep trying to make it work anyway? In this episode, Rachel dives into the psychology behind why we stay stuck in relationships, careers, and situations long after we know they’re wrong. It’s called the sunk cost fallacy, the belief that we should keep investing in something simply because of how much we’ve already put into it. If you’ve ever struggled to walk away from something that no longer serves you, this honest, tough-love conversation will help you rethink what it really means to let go and why your future might depend on it.

It’s an all new ASK RACH episode! First, she shares what she learned while advocating for her daughter after years of behavior struggles at school, including how brain scans, understanding overstimulation, and changing her approach as a parent transformed the way she supports her child. Then Rachel responds to a listener who says she “hates herself” after a divorce, career upheaval, and losing the life she thought she’d have. Rachel explains why self-hatred is often a sign of living out of alignment with who you truly are—and why moments when everything falls apart can actually become the starting point for rebuilding a life that fits you. If you’re feeling stuck, lost, or like you’ve lost trust in yourself, this episode is the reset you might need. Have a question for Rach? Call the podcast hotline and leave a voicemail!
