From the Heart with Rachel Brathen

It’s time for another episode of Ask Rachel! Today Rachel takes a beautiful and very relatable question from a listener on how to speak more kindly to your body. She shares her history of struggling to speak kindly to herself, and a moment when she was nine years old where she first felt like her body wasn’t good enough. Ultimately, this is a practice! Rachel gives some little things she does in her day to bring out the voice of her inner best friend and quiet the inner critic. 

There are always resources we can use to find more self-love. And that is especially important when it comes to our children! Rachel talks about things we can teach our kids so they speak kindly to themselves, and gives examples of conversations she is having with Lea right now. On top of that, she takes a question on how to pick up new skills and start new projects, and relatedly, some advice she has for learning new languages. Your body can do incredible things! Tune in for a reminder to be kind so it can work its magic.

Ask Rachel: How to Be Kind To Your Body

Happy September! Fall has officially arrived in the north of Sweden where Rachel lives. The seasons change quickly here, and Rachel is already finding herself in darker days, wearing heavier clothes (and having wild animal encounters outside!). Things in nature may be slowing down, but are you? In this episode, Rachel shares how important it is to set a fall intention: something to serve as a guiding light, to align you with nature, and help you find a purposeful daily rhythm. For her, that intention is to sit at the pottery wheel each and every day.

Does play feel frivolous to you? Usually, when we have free time from our children, we do the things we are “supposed” to do. But what if play is actually a basic human need? Do you have your own version of pottery? And can you make more time for something in your life that is just for you? This episode will help you see why it’s one of the most important things you can do.

Play Is A Basic Human Need

So many of us want to live a slower and more deliberate life. But how do we get there? In today’s episode, Rachel shares her path - it’s to practice it! The life she is living right now was once a dream. It involved a lot of learning, trying new things, and making mistakes along the way. But now, quite a few years in, she is noticing that the things that were once hard are coming more naturally. She can tend to her garden, care for her bees and animals, do pottery, and even knit.

You have to start somewhere! Practicing your longing is the way to embody and actually live that longing. Whatever you are dabbling in right now, this episode will inspire you to keep creating pockets of time for it, keep trying, and keep dipping your toes in. Before you know it, you will be swimming.

May You Heal So Hard You Do Arts and Crafts Again

After a long summer, it is finally time to get back to school, back to basics, and back to routine. Rachel has some time now to tackle the chaos and mess that has accumulated over the past couple months, and she shares honestly what the state of her house was like. Her family definitely didn’t start the new school year off on the best foot!

How do the perfect Instagram moms keep their houses clean all the time? Is there some secret trick some of us are missing? Is it possible to keep an entire family organized? Today’s episode is a relatable one - sometimes we fail, sometimes things get chaotic, and sometimes things are just flat out messy. But maybe that means you’re enjoying life. Tune in to let yourself off the hook.

Is It Possible To Keep An Entire Family Organized?

In today’s episode, Rachel is fresh off hosting her first-ever retreat in her hometown in Sweden — 58 people from all over the world who came together for a week of yoga, hiking, sauna, campfires, and deep sharing. It felt like a full circle moment: welcoming people into the exact place that shaped her, and stepping fully into what she feels she’s truly meant to do.

Underneath all the beautiful moments, one thing kept surfacing again and again — the reminder that none of us are meant to carry things alone. Community isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s medicine. Whether you’ve been on a retreat or not, this episode will remind you of the people around you, and nudge you to lean into connection instead of isolation. If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing it all solo, this one’s for you.

We Were Never Meant To Do This Alone

It’s peak harvest season over in Rachel’s life at the moment. In today’s episode, she discusses everything happening in her kitchen thanks to all the deliciousness coming from nature. It’s a long list: kefir, shrubs, fire cider, kombucha, elderberry syrup, elder flower champagne, and St. John’s Wort oil! 

Rachel shares a funny story about how she learned to make kefir, the delicious drinks and mocktails that come from the shrubs, and the benefits of a daily fire cider shot (with a kid-friendly version, too!). Living in this way helps you to be present, connect with nature, and bring aliveness and vitality to your home. Tune in for a fun episode that will inspire you to connect with that kitchen witch that lives within of us.

Everything Happening In My Kitchen Right Now (and some recipes!)

In today’s episode, Rachel is just coming out of two days of indulgent alone time. Her husband took both the kids to Stockholm, and Rachel got to bask in a clean, quiet house for the first time since she can remember. She spent the time walking, reading, going inward, doing retreat prep, and simply allowing herself to enjoy things.

Oftentimes, we feel like we have to earn pleasure, joy, rest, and play. We think we have to work so hard until we deplete ourselves - and then we can take time to slow down. But what if that’s not true? What if we should reach for those things just because? What if pleasure is our birthright? Today’s episode will help you shift the narrative and enjoy your life more.

What If Pleasure Is Your Birthright?

Joy isn't the reward you earn after all the work is done. Joy is the work. That's what a new series on For the Love with Jen Hatmaker is all about, the Sacred Yes. It's choosing delight, rest, and pleasure on purpose because saying yes to yourself, that's the thing that finally lets you fill your table with everybody else. Come find your Sacred Yes with Jen. Follow and listen to For the Love with Jen Hatmaker wherever you get your podcasts.

This episode brings us another segment of Ask Rachel, where Rachel takes calls from listeners and answers any questions they have. The inquiries today were so beautiful, and all were connected to the theme of returning home to yourself. How can we navigate heartbreak? When life is incredibly overwhelming, how do we settle down and find peace within ourselves? How do we know we are making decisions for us and not for family or friends?

There are also some pregnancy related questions where Rachel shares helpful tips for first trimester exhaustion and how to convince your husband to have more babies if they aren’t too keen on the idea. Tune in for a thoughtful episode that will help you trust in your body and live according to your own timeline. If you have a question for Rachel, call her at 1-(720) 443-1771.

Ask Rachel: Meet Yourself Where You Are

For the past few weeks, Rachel has found herself in a depleted slump. But now, she has slowly crawled out to see the light again. Feeling more rested and energized, she shares the tweaks and changes she made in her life that brought about this change (Hint: one of them may have been Bad Bunny).

Sometimes we can get so caught up in trying to make things magical and extraordinary, that we turn something that is already good into something that brings us unneeded work, stress, and exhaustion. And then we lose the ability to enjoy it - even if we managed to turn it into something amazing. This episode will remind you how important it is to linger in the good. Sometimes that is exactly what’s needed.

How to Exist in the Good Enough

What is the true meaning of success? Is it possible to manifest financial freedom and still stay true to who you are? How can we do business with a heart? To answer these questions we dive into the topic of money, success and manifesting abundance. In this episode Rachel shares stories from her past to find the secrets to how she built a thriving business out of nothing. Coupling spirituality with abundance, we explore the idea of using meditation as a tool to cultivate trust and with it, the life you've always dreamed of.
