"Everyone thought I was crazy for walking away. But for the first time in my life, I wasn't abandoning myself."

Oooh... powerful words!

Do you ever feel like you're abandoning yourself so you can just... survive?

Maybe you're barely surviving because you're not ABLE to truly be yourself. And if you could follow the path that is meant for you, it will help you break free.

That's what this week's episode is all about, where Karina Pontiles shares her R.I.S.E. method with us and how playing the rules and doing what we *think* we should be doing... is really holding us back.

We talk about:

• The hidden cost of doing what you’re “supposed to do”
• What Karina had to unlearn to actually feel free
• Why success without alignment will always feel empty
• Her R.I.S.E.™ Method and how to rewire subconscious patterns
• How to break out of survival mode and reclaim your truth

If you've been secretly craving a full-blown life and business reset, this episode may just give you permission to choose what's true to you... not what's expected of you from others.

Sometimes, it's hard to know if fear is actually protecting you... or keeping you small.

In this episode, I sit down with Jenn T. Peterson, an Equus coach, Shamanic Reiki Master, and former award-winning marketer who uses horses with her clients to help mirror their truth in ways that most humans can't.

We talk about:

• How to decode false fear vs. real fear (and why you get stuck in the fake kind)
• What a horse can tell you about your marketing plan (yes, really)
• Why your body already knows what your brain is resisting
• What it means to run a soul-aligned business
• How Jen's method helps women shift from selling with pressure to selling with purpose

If you've ever felt like marketing is icky or selling doesn't feel good... this conversation will completely reframe how you think about visibility, confidence, and running a business that feels like you.

What happens when you go from CEO of an ed-tech company to a stay-at-home mom to launching a business that helps teachers leave the classroom? Lisa Harding joins Rachael to talk about her unexpected leap into entrepreneurship—and how she went from supporting teachers inside the system to empowering them to find freedom outside of it.

In this conversation, Lisa shares how she overcame the fear of judgment, the ethical questions she wrestled with, and why she felt morally obligated to help teachers transition out of the classroom with support, strategy, and a whole lot of heart.

We also dive into:

• What sparked Lisa’s career shift (hint: it wasn’t about being her own boss—at first)
  
  
• The imposter syndrome she faced, even after leading a company as CEO
  
  
• Why teachers make incredible employees and entrepreneurs
  
  
• The surprising power of supportive community during any big life transition
  
  
• Her advice for teachers who are scared to make the jump—or unsure if they even should
  
  

Whether you’re a burned-out teacher, a quiet entrepreneur, or someone wondering what else is out there—this one’s for you.
