Creating Community, Honoring the Land, and Full Circle Moments
Jun 1200:41:45Tap to summarizeToday’s episode is about going back to basics, full circle moments, and a new chapter intertwining with the old. Rachel has just launched a summer retreat after some serendipitous circumstances. It has her reminiscing back to her twenties when her and Dennis first launched retreats together from their kitchen table. She shares some old stories and why she’s feeling so nostalgic: she now feels integrated back into a sense of community that she somehow lost along the way. Rachel has been great at creating community and then standing on the outside of it. She shares some reasons why she has felt this way, and why this new season of her life at the farm feels like something she can be included in as well. If you are longing for a shift in your life, or if you’ve felt stuck or stagnant, this episode will help you remember that there is an answer out there if you go looking for it.
Transcribe →Artificial Intelligence and How to Live in the Real World
Jun 500:52:39Tap to summarizeThis episode of From the Heart is all about AI and how it is infiltrating every corner of our lives. After a few upsetting encounters with AI, Rachel was left wondering: do the bad parts of the internet outweigh the good? Where are we headed as a society? And is it even our fault if there’s no way to stop it? It can be so hard to balance the desire to live without the internet while our lives have become so intertwined with it. But maybe there is something we can do. We can create spaces for real world experiences. We can spend more time in nature. (And we can throw our phones in the lake if we really want to). Rachel shares more about how she walks that difficult line through living life on her farm. It’s an episode that will leave you craving more of the things that actually matter.

May 2900:47:20Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode, it’s the end of May, Rachel’s energy is buzzing, and things are happening all around! Rachel talks about the momentum that this month brings to the Scandinavians, and just how that momentum has met her: it’s come bearing so many ideas and epiphanies.Rachel has been initiating a million things lately, and she talks about different projects she has going on the farm, how her day looks juggling the store, podcast, garden, gym, and being a mom, and what her human design tells her about the way she works. It all culminated into a realization: she’s spent so much time in the garden lately that she hasn’t had any time for real work. But what if spending time in the garden is the real work? What if nature can provide everything that we are looking for? This is a positive episode filled with inspiration and the chance to cultivate a life that meets your needs and uplifts you.

Transcribe →Ask Rachel: How to (really) Build Confidence in Your Kids
May 1500:50:16Tap to summarizeCan we build confidence in our children? Or is confidence something they have to figure out for themselves? This episode brings us another segment of Ask Rachel, where Rachel answers questions from listeners that have called in. She shares her future vision and dreams for the store at Ala Farms and how to deal with roosters so they don’t ruin your life. Then she answers a really beautiful question on how to build confidence in our children- especially if they are very sensitive. The answer may not be in lifting them up and talking about how perfect they are, but instead being a safe place for them to lean into their insecurities and find their own footing. It’s a fun and open episode that will lift you up and inspire you to love hard and reach for your dreams.
Transcribe →Initiating, Resting and Life as a Side Quest
May 800:50:43Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode of From the Heart, Rachel shares her process of getting things done and how she stays productive in her daily life. It looks a lot like this: manifesting with the energy of a thousand suns, side questing on the way to another side quest, and then falling apart on the couch with a tub of ice cream once all is said and done. We all have different ways that we generate and create. But it all comes down to how we can rest and recover. Do you know what true rest looks like? Are you depleting yourself more than you’re filling yourself up? This is a fun episode of story-telling (and even some duck poop) that will inspire you to work hard, rest hard, and keep building the life that reflects you.

Transcribe →The Absurdity of the World, Prepping, and Why You Need To Rely On Yourself
May 100:58:40Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode, Rachel shares many opposing thoughts that we are all thinking right now: the world is absurd, crazy and scary - but the world is also full of so many beautiful things. Everywhere we look there is war, genocide, starvation, and terrifying men in positions of power. But there are also children laughing, flowers blooming, and ducks in Rachel’s house! How can these polarities exist at once? And even more so, how can we find happiness and joy amidst the chaos and uncertainty? Whatever you are doing to take care of yourself right now is beautiful. Whether that looks like small self-care practices or prepping a bunker for the apocalypse (Rachel shares a bit more of her journey here, too!), it all counts. At the end of the day, the only one coming to save you is you. Tune in for an episode that will empower you to remember that you are the one you have been waiting for.

Transcribe →Would You Choose The Man, The Bear… Or a Woman?
Apr 2400:52:32Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode, Rachel answers a very specific question: does she hate men? The answer to this is… no, not all men. But the truth is, the male population as a whole is not giving women a lot to feel confident in right now. From charlatans in the healing space preying on the vulnerable, to the lack of prosecutions resulting from the Epstein files, and the shocking rape academy online, we live in a misogynistic system that is meant to protect men and allow women to be harmed and abused. But what can we actually do about it? This episode is a call for all of us - especially the “good men” out there - to step up and make a change. Have the hard conversations with your friends, say something when you see something, and don’t lay down and accept things as they are. We must make a change for our wives, our sisters, and our daughters - and it starts with doing the work in mundane moments of our own lives.
