Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices In this edition of Ask Rach, Rachel Hollis responds to two listener questions centered on the challenges of balancing ambition, work, and family. First, she speaks with a single mother of teenagers who feels guilty for spending years focused on building her businesses rather than being fully present with her kids, encouraging her to stop viewing her sacrifices as failures and instead recognize the life and stability she built for her family. Rachel emphasizes that rebuilding connection with teenagers is still possible, but it requires showing up for them on their terms, respecting their individuality, and finding authentic shared experiences rather than forcing emotional conversations. In the second half, she addresses a listener asking about household support systems, openly sharing her own experiences with mothers’ helpers, nannies, housekeepers, and delegating responsibilities throughout different seasons of motherhood and entrepreneurship. She argues that seeking help at home should not carry shame, especially for working parents, and reframes hiring support as both practical and empowering, ultimately encouraging listeners to let go of unrealistic expectations and build lives that allow them to focus on what matters most.

Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices In this experimental, live-recorded episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rachel experiments with a looser Rach Talk format recorded in her Instagram broadcast channel, mixing personal development advice with casual life updates and pop-culture commentary. In this episode, her main message is that falling off track is inevitable, so people should stop treating failure as proof of who they are and instead build a daily “reset plan” to help them recover quickly. Using examples from baseball, tennis, journaling, and inner-child visualization, she encourages listeners to identify the emotions that come up when they fail and create small spiritual or grounding practices that meet those emotional needs. The episode then shifts into lighter topics, including the Met Gala, upcoming sequels, Martha Stewart, moving to the Hudson Valley, wanting a dog, debating chickens, and her hopes for Mother’s Day.

Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices -- In this episode, Rachel takes you into one of the most honest conversations she's had yet: what it really means to make a promise, to yourself, to your goals, to the life you say you want. Inspired by her own story of quitting on herself over and over again before finally figuring out what follow-through actually requires, Rachel walks you through how she completely redefined what a promise means, and how that single shift changed everything. Her health. Her business. The way she shows up for herself every single day. This isn't a motivational pep talk. It's a framework. Inside this episode, Rachel shares 5 points of reference that will help you redefine your promises from the ground up so that when you set a goal or build a habit, you're doing it with real clarity, real intention, and a much better shot at actually seeing it through. And because this work deserves more than just a listen, we've paired this episode with this month's worksheets — a companion guide designed to help you go deeper on your own and take an honest look at what your current promises actually look like.
