In this episode, Sarah and I explore the liberating power of taking responsibility for ourselves.   Sarah shares her experience of how taking responsibility for herself has transformed her life and allowed her to feel free, content, and sufficient.

Welcome to Relationship Coaching with Rachel, where we provide insights and tips to help you find peace in your most challenging relationships. Today, I have a special guest on the podcast, Megan Weisheipl, who will be discussing her new book, The Selfish Hour. 

As a relationship coach and teacher of meditation and yoga, I understand the importance of creating sacred time for myself.

The Selfish Hour is a must-read for anybody seeking personal growth and transformation. Megan wrote this book from a place of being healed and provides practical tips on how to transform your mind in just one hour a day.

Megan shares her story of creating a life from a situation she didn't want. She talks about feeling like the parent in the relationship, and how she mirrored her story from her own mother's story. The Selfish Hour is a reminder that being selfish is not a negative thing. It's important to be your own person and not try to fit in.

Listeners can get a sneak-peak download of the first chapter of The Selfish Hour: https://www.meganspeaks.com/

Making a sincere apology can have a profound impact on your level of self-worth. What I realized over the last several weeks is that I realized that the way I was taught about making an apology was that it was either "owed" like a bad debt or it came with a lot of strings attached.  

What you'll learn in this episode:   


When we apologize from a place of fear, it has a different energy to it. It feels heavy and haunting. There's an air of manipulation to it. 
When we apologize from a place of love, it feels genuine. 
A sincere apology can give anyone a sense of freedom when we come from the right place. 

I'm delighted to say that learning to sincerely and timely apologize is one of the biggest gifts I've ever given to myself.
