    Birth and Death: A Story About The Circle of Life

    Birth and Death: A Story About The Circle of Life

    The past few days for Rachel have been heavy and beautiful in the best and worst ways possible. She tells the story of saying goodbye to their dog, Laika, from how she navigated the days leading up to it and the conversation she had with her daughter around death. It was during these quiet days at home that her phone rang: her best friend was in labor (look out for a podcast episode with Olivia coming soon!)
    From witnessing a birth and a death in the same weekend, this episode is a beautiful story about the circle of life, the thin veil that connects us on either side, and the power of our hearts. Just as the contractions of a woman in labor come in waves, so too do the feelings of grief after loss. And the cycle begins again. 
    Grab some tissues and tune in to a heart wrenching episode that will remind you of your purpose in this great adventure called life.

    The Life of a Dog and the Moments Between Hello and Goodbye

    The Life of a Dog and the Moments Between Hello and Goodbye

    The animal lovers out there will resonate with today’s episode… but it’s also a very sad one. Rachel and her family just received some incredibly hard news. Their dog, Laika, is in her final days. 
    Rachel shares how she will prepare her daughter for this heartache, and how Laika has showed up as a protector throughout Rachel’s pregnancy. It’s cruel and unfair that every hello with a four-legged soulmate eventually leads to a goodbye, but the moments in between we can cherish forever… and they never really are further away than our hearts.
    Bring your tissues and tune in for an episode that will remind you to hug your fur babies tight.

Mind-numbingly lame

Rachel’s early podcasts were good; but the past year or so have become just mindless drivel of self-entitled and privileged whining of a narcissistic white woman who doesn’t work but will keep droning on and on about how tired and burnt out she is because of all she does (ie, garden, swim, eat, and drink).

From the ❤️

Rachel is a real one, and this, very much comes across in her podcasts. Episodes are relatable for a lot of us. Her rate of speech and precise use of language, makes her podcasts so easy to listen to. Thank you and stay blessed!
