Customer Reviews
My new fave pod!
Rachel is such a graceful and easeful interviewer, i only started listening yesterday and am already binging all seasons! Love the intentionality of showing the real stuff behind building your dream life from so many awesome guests’ perspectives. A must listen!
Real
A easy to listen and authentic podcast that shares practical advice for anyone who is searching for insights into their career journey!
Career (and life!) Support through Connection
I feel so seen, relieved, and affirmed that I am right where I need to be when listening to Rachel’s reflections on the intersection between career and life. This podcast is phenomenal for navigating the dynamic workplace and life stages through which we all find ourselves evolving. I feel more connected to my needs, motivated to find a work/life balance that fits my own purpose, and reignited to work through fears that show up along the way. It is powerful to hear other guests on the show encountering similar crossroads! Thank you, Rachel!
