In this conversation, we tackle the real stuff - how embracing our messiness can lead to genuine growth and breakthrough. Jennifer’s latest book, What If You’re Doing Better Than You Think?, serves as a loving nudge for all of us to recognize our worth, even when life feels chaotic. With a healthy blend of sass and sincerity, we discuss the importance of giving ourselves grace, the struggle of people-pleasing, and how to prioritize our own well-being. This episode is not just about survival; it’s about thriving in the middle of chaos, reminding us all that we are stronger than we think, and that every step towards healing is a victory worth celebrating. It’s an invitation to listen, reflect, and give yourself permission to be human as you journey through the ups and downs that come with this life.

  3. Not Weak, Just Weary - and Stronger Than You Think

    Not Weak, Just Weary - and Stronger Than You Think

    We often admire strength and resilience in others while doubting we have it ourselves. But here’s the truth: strength doesn’t always look bold and unshakable, and resilience doesn’t always feel like bouncing back quickly. Most of the time, this actually looks a lot more like exhaustion, baby steps forward, and continuing to show up. In this episode, we’ll rethink what it really means to be a woman of strength and resilience. From identifying with (or bawling through) Luisa’s “Surface Pressure” song in Encanto to the practice of keeping a simple “ta-da list,” you’ll discover that you’re already stronger than you think. And when your own capacity feels like it’s run out, God’s Word reminds us that His strength shows up in our weakness. Episode Highlights How we view strength and resilience in others vs what it actually looks likePractical ways to identify and validate your own strength and resilience in daily lifeThe value of showing up rather than looking tough2 Corinthians 12:9 - “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Resources Mentioned Give Yourself Credit - You Do a Lot! - “Ta-Da” List Journal Shop all Merciful Mornings journalsListen to “Surface Pressure” from Encanto Related Episodes You Might Also Like EP 3 - Encouragement for the Woman Who is Drowning in OverwhelmEP 18 - Giving Yourself Grace Through Seasons of LifeEP 21 - 5 Tips to Keep Going and Never Give UpEP 39 - The Source of Empowerment with Becky BeresfordEP 59 - Rethinking the Proverbs 31 Woman: Inspiration, Not ExpectationEP 64 - Letting Go Isn’t Giving Up: The Faithful Fight Against Anxiety with Nichole Suvar Connect with Rachel Website: racheldbaker.comInstagram: @rachel.d.baker Email: rachel@racheldbaker.com It means so much to me that you are part of this community!

    If you've ever come home from vacation feeling more exhausted than when you left, you’re not alone.

    Feel Better in Your Body: Small Steps That Actually Make a Big Difference with Alane Pearce

    We talk a lot in this community about showing up well for the people we love and the purpose we’re called to - but what happens when our bodies are too tired, inflamed, or out of balance to keep up? In this episode, I’m joined by certified health and lifestyle coach Alane Pearce, who’s passionate about helping women feel better in their bodies without shame, restriction, or burnout. Drawing from her own powerful journey through Hashimoto’s, infertility, and the exhausting cycle of chronic dieting, Alane shares how she traded the all-or-nothing health mindset for a more holistic, sustainable approach, and how you can, too! We explore what might be sabotaging your metabolism (even if you think you’re eating healthy), how to ditch diet culture without ditching your health, and why it’s time to stop ignoring the physical side of wellness. Alane walks us through the “six spinning plates” method and offers simple, practical steps you can start today to support your body in a way that feels doable and life-giving. This conversation is a gentle but empowering reminder that you don’t need to overhaul your whole life to see real change - just take one small step at a time. Episode Highlights True health is about nourishing your body, not just focusing on weight loss, which is often a symptom of deeper issues.The importance of self-care routines, including adequate sleep, movement, and balanced nutrition to sustain overall well-beingThe concept of 'spinning plates' for health: nutrition, sleep, stress management, hydration, supplements, and movement for a holistic approachWe learn that 93% of the U.S. population experiences some form of blood sugar dysregulation, often driven by dieting mentalities and processed foods.Alane encourages listeners to stop living in deprivation and instead focus on what their bodies truly need to thrive and function well.Practical steps like meal planning and small movement 'snacks' throughout the day to integrate healthy habits seamlessly into busy lives Resources Mentioned Free download: Four Simple Strategies for Better Health Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life by Jamie Kern Lima Related Episodes You Might Also Like EP 13 - The Value of Intentional Rhythms with Michelle J.
