    The Days Are Long But the Years Are Short

    The Days Are Long But the Years Are Short

    This week Lea Luna (and the podcast!) turned seven years old. Since these years of life are the most formative, this feels like a big milestone. In this episode, Rachel takes a trip down memory lane and reflects on Lea’s life, from her birth to present day. She shares hilarious stories that highlight her daughter’s feisty personality (like the time she tried to run away from home) and more.
    One of the most bittersweet moments of parenthood is when you realize that your child is growing older and will need you less and less every day. All we can do is provide them with love and support until they are ready to launch. Tune in for a nostalgic episode that will truly remind you that the days may be long, but the years are short.
    Next week’s episode is Ask Rachel for the 7th anniversary. Call Rachel to leave a question at +1 (720) 443 1771.

    Yoga, Discipline, and How to Stay Committed to Self-Care

    Yoga, Discipline, and How to Stay Committed to Self-Care

    With spring on the way, Rachel has some exciting news to share. She is hosting a 12 day yoga challenge! After finding herself in a bit of a rut in her physical practice, she is committing to movement in the best way possible: with her community.
    This podcast episode is all about discipline. We often wait for motivation to take the lead and inspire us into action, but life actually works the other way around. We have to show up for ourselves - even when it’s hard and even when we don’t want to - and that’s how discipline and motivation are built. Tune in for a deep dive of how to anchor into a solid routine of self-care, and why doing it with a community can set you up for success.

Postpartum episode resonated!

Rachel, your story and sharing of your life after baby #2 is so admirable. I love the way you are cherishing each moment of life. I’m 57, sons are 25 &23 and I, too, cherished every age and stage, no matter how difficult it can be at times! You pod this week really brought me back to that time in my motherhood. Love it!

Speaking feelings into reality

Rachael, your podcast is true and real. Todays episode on “Does it take a village to raise a child” spoke to my soul. You brought into existence the experience I felt with my son. There is so much expected of women and mothers in our society. How do we care for ourselves while carrying by so much? Starting with the question helps us all. May the next generation of mothers have a different experience. May they be supported to care for their children because they are cared for deeply by the people around them in helpful ways. May it be available to all women regardless of family situation or income. May our babies have the gift of mothers who are cared for. Thank you for your words and thoughts…you are exactly who the world needs exactly as you are.
