    Live Without Regrets: What Sets Your Soul on Fire?

    Live Without Regrets: What Sets Your Soul on Fire?

    Rachel reflects on the tragic events of 9/11/01, encouraging listeners to live fully, embracing each moment with gratitude, nurturing deep, passionate relationships, and being bold enough to seize opportunities as they present themselves. 
    She emphasizes the importance of focusing on personal passion and purpose, rather than worldly success. Steering away from the conventional narrative of success, she argues that worldly success—often measured in material wealth and societal recognition—should not be the ultimate goal. Instead, she urges her listeners to find fulfillment in pursuing their unique passions and purpose, as these are the pursuits that bring genuine joy and satisfaction.
    In this episode: 
    Remembering Todd Beamer and all the brave souls of #Flight93 this #911. Their courage & selflessness in the face of terror continues to inspire us all. Let's honor their memory by living out Beamer's immortal words, "Let's Roll." They remind us that unity & bravery can overcome any adversity. #NeverForget

Authentic, raw, encouraging

Rachel is the real deal. I’m so grateful for her mentoring, her real & raw vulnerability, her breaking of the mold. I wish more “influencers” would take her lead - to share with compassion, empathy, and love.
