    Breaking Free From Labels: What the Rooted with FitZen Retreat Taught Me

    What happens when you remove the labels you’ve carried for years? In this solo episode, Rachel Fitzpatrick reflects on the powerful experience of hosting the Rooted with FitZen Retreat — a weekend centered around self-awareness, authenticity, and remembering who we are beneath the identities we've collected over time. Through yoga, breathwork, deep conversation, and intentional reflection, something unexpected happened: people began to release the labels they thought defined them. “You’re too ambitious.”  “You’re too emotional.”  “You’re too much.” These stories often become the quiet rules we live by. But what if they were never ours to begin with? Rachel shares the biggest insights from the retreat — including the idea of living with your lid open, allowing curiosity, courage, and growth to replace fear and self-protection. This episode explores how vulnerability in community creates transformation, and why small, intentional spaces like retreats can lead to some of the b Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!Favorite Yoga Leggings: prAna HeavanaI highly recommend the ones without pockets- best I have found to date.RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.
