The Rachel Hollis Podcast

In this episode of Ask Rach, Rachel responds to listener questions with a mix of practical advice and motivational “big sister” guidance, covering topics like managing menopause symptoms, breaking social media addiction, and training for a race. She emphasizes that long-term well-being comes from understanding one’s body and addressing root causes like stress and nutrient deficiencies rather than just symptoms. She also advises replacing unhealthy habits (like excessive phone use) with more fulfilling alternatives and using free resources to learn new skills, framing idle time as an opportunity for personal growth. Overall, the episode blends wellness education with mindset coaching, encouraging listeners to take control of their habits, health, and future through intentional choices and self-awareness.

This episode features Rachel sharing practical, beginner-friendly advice for starting a running routine, drawn from her own journey from non-athlete to marathon runner. She emphasizes building consistency through simple habits, like choosing a safe route, investing in proper shoes, fueling and recovering correctly, and setting goals such as signing up for a 5K. Ultimately, she frames running as both a physical and mental practice, encouraging listeners to start small, stay consistent, and prove to themselves they can do hard things.

Your body may have changed, but your glow hasn’t gone anywhere. Whether it’s post-baby, perimenopause, or menopause, so many women wake up one day and think, Wait… who even is this body? In this episode, Rachel is sharing 9 hacks to glow up in the body you have right now. From lighting tricks to style swaps, brows that change your whole face, and posture that instantly boosts confidence, these are small, doable shifts that make a huge difference in how you feel. Backed by science, ancient wisdom, and Rachel’s signature humor, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need a “new body” to love yourself today, you just need a few hacks to highlight the one you already have.

In this episode, Rachel reframes the feeling of being “stuck” as a powerful crossroads rather than a failure, arguing that it often comes from overwhelm and misalignment, especially when people overwork or chase too many directions at once. She encourages listeners to see this season as a privilege that allows for self-reflection and growth rather than survival. She emphasizes that clarity doesn’t come from adding more, but from simplifying and reconnecting with one’s intuition through intentional quiet time, such as brief daily meditation, where individuals can ask for guidance and trust the subtle, nonverbal responses that arise. By learning to listen to this inner voice and act on small next steps, she suggests that people can move forward with greater purpose, peace, and confidence, ultimately transforming uncertainty into a meaningful path forward.

This replay of Rachel's interview on the The Nikki and Brie Show highlights how success is built through years of persistence, reframing obstacles as necessary growth, and taking consistent action toward personal goals. They also emphasize the importance of self-belief, pursuing passions alongside responsibilities, and creating a life on your own terms.
