She explains that most unrealized potential comes from worrying about judgment, rejection, and the opinions of others— whether those opinions are real, imagined, or projected from our own self-criticism. Drawing on personal stories from her career, marriage, family relationships, and parenting, Rach emphasizes that success requires being willing to look foolish, face criticism, and fail publicly.

Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach explores the idea that positivity is not an innate personality trait but a skill that can be developed through intentional practice. Using the story of her first childbirth, a 52-hour labor that taught her the power of choosing how to respond to difficult circumstances, she argues that while people cannot control many of life’s challenges, they can control their perspective. Rachel explains the science behind negativity bias, cognitive distortions, and the brain’s tendency to focus on threats, emphasizing that thoughts are not facts and that mindfulness can help people separate themselves from unhelpful thinking patterns. She advocates for practical habits such as daily gratitude journaling, regulating self-talk, limiting negative social media influences, and moving the body regularly, citing research suggesting that a significant portion of happiness comes from intentional actions rather than life circumstances. Ultimately, she encourages listeners to view positivity as a daily practice of returning to gratitude, resilience, and hope, even in the midst of hardship, rather than as a form of denial or “toxic positivity.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

She argues that the body is our most reliable guide, often sensing danger or alignment before the mind can explain it, and encourages listeners to reconnect with their physical and emotional signals through practices like journaling and self-reflection. She also discusses synchronicities as meaningful “winks” from the universe, the importance of paying attention when situations feel unnecessarily “clunky,” and how closed doors can often be redirections rather than rejections. Finally, she introduces the “peace test,” suggesting that a deep sense of calm and alignment is one of the clearest indicators that we are on the right path. Throughout the episode, Rachel blends personal stories, spiritual beliefs, and practical self-development advice to encourage listeners to trust themselves, listen to their intuition, and view setbacks as guidance rather than failure.

She discusses symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, heavy periods, and depression, explaining how she initially mistook these changes for a mental health crisis before discovering through blood work that she had estrogen dominance. Throughout the episode, she encourages women to advocate for themselves by seeking doctors who specialize in women’s hormones and functional medicine, tracking their menstrual cycles, reducing stress, and paying closer attention to nutrition, sleep, and supplementation. Ultimately, she frames these symptoms not as something women should silently endure, but as important signals from the body that deserve attention, support, and compassionate care.
