In this edition of Ask Rach, Rachel Hollis responds to two listener questions centered on the challenges of balancing ambition, work, and family. First, she speaks with a single mother of teenagers who feels guilty for spending years focused on building her businesses rather than being fully present with her kids, encouraging her to stop viewing her sacrifices as failures and instead recognize the life and stability she built for her family. Rachel emphasizes that rebuilding connection with teenagers is still possible, but it requires showing up for them on their terms, respecting their individuality, and finding authentic shared experiences rather than forcing emotional conversations. In the second half, she addresses a listener asking about household support systems, openly sharing her own experiences with mothers’ helpers, nannies, housekeepers, and delegating responsibilities throughout different seasons of motherhood and entrepreneurship. She argues that seeking help at home should not carry shame, especially for working parents, and reframes hiring support as both practical and empowering, ultimately encouraging listeners to let go of unrealistic expectations and build lives that allow them to focus on what matters most.

In this experimental, live-recorded episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rachel experiments with a looser Rach Talk format recorded in her Instagram broadcast channel, mixing personal development advice with casual life updates and pop-culture commentary. In this episode, her main message is that falling off track is inevitable, so people should stop treating failure as proof of who they are and instead build a daily “reset plan” to help them recover quickly. Using examples from baseball, tennis, journaling, and inner-child visualization, she encourages listeners to identify the emotions that come up when they fail and create small spiritual or grounding practices that meet those emotional needs. The episode then shifts into lighter topics, including the Met Gala, upcoming sequels, Martha Stewart, moving to the Hudson Valley, wanting a dog, debating chickens, and her hopes for Mother’s Day.

In this live episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast (recorded at RISE Elevate in Chicago), Rachel interviews three women from the RISE community whose lives were transformed by taking action on deeply personal goals. Breanna shares how attending Rise motivated her to reclaim her health, ultimately leading her to lose weight, run a half-marathon while pregnant, and pursue bigger dreams. Liz tells the emotional story of founding Ruby's Rainbow after the birth of her daughter with Down syndrome, growing it from a simple idea into a nonprofit that has awarded over $4 million in scholarships. Cyndi discusses leaving corporate life to build Wanderlust Campus into a nationally recognized business while simultaneously transforming her health and inspiring her children. Throughout the conversation, themes of imposter syndrome, leadership, resilience, and the power of community emerge, as Rachel emphasizes that extraordinary change often begins with small, imperfect steps and the willingness to believe in a bigger vision for your life.
