She offers practical advice for tackling household chores, planning meals, prioritizing the three goals that will actually move your life forward, and making time for rest and self-care. Rach also explains why a productive week isn't just about checking things off a to-do list, but about intentionally creating the life you want to live.

In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach gets candid about the challenges of navigating midlife, perimenopause, and the frustrating realization that the routines and strategies that worked in her 20s and 30s no longer seem to deliver the same results. While her family life is thriving, she opens up about feeling stuck in her career, creativity, fitness, and personal style, prompting her to launch an experiment: identifying what's working, recognizing what isn't, and trying the exact opposite of her usual approach to see what changes. Rachel reflects on the identity shifts that come with getting older, the pressure of reinventing yourself while juggling family responsibilities, and the importance of giving yourself permission to evolve. She invites listeners to join her on this journey of rediscovery, reminding them that just because something worked in the past doesn't mean it's the right approach for the person they're becoming.

In this throwback episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach dives into one of her favorite topics—the law of attraction—and shares 11 practices she believes can help you manifest the life you want more quickly. She explains the importance of paying attention to your words, thoughts, and emotions; visualizing what you want; taking tangible action; using mantras, gratitude, prayer, and written goals; and surrounding yourself with people who support the future you’re trying to create. Rachel emphasizes that manifestation isn’t simply about wishing for something to happen, it requires changing how you show up, doing the work to move toward what you want, and ultimately learning to trust the process without becoming overly attached to when or how the result arrives.

This episode is actually a video over on YouTube, and it’s much more fun to watch there because I’m making chicken salad while teaching you about goals (hence the chopping you'll hear if you listen to this instead of watch) 😂 But the lesson works just as well in your headphones!

The way I set goals at 43 looks VERY different from the way I chased them at 23.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the three eras I’ve gone through: Aspiration, Conviction, and Compounding, and what each one taught me about actually getting where I want to go.

And these aren’t really about age. They’re about the season you’re in. So the question is: Which era are you in right now, and what does that mean for how you should go after your goals?

In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach shares three simple lists she uses to stay productive, clear mental clutter, and keep her biggest dreams front and center. She explains why a “results list” can be more effective than a traditional to-do list by focusing on meaningful outcomes, recommends a digital brain dump for capturing ideas instead of relying on memory, and introduces the “someday list” as a place to write down the dreams and experiences you want to pursue... even when you have no idea how you’ll achieve them yet. Rachel encourages listeners to spend less energy simply staying busy and instead create systems that help them make measurable progress, free up mental space, and stay connected to the future they want to build.

In this edition of "Ask Rach" on The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach answers listener questions about finding yourself again during an overwhelming season of motherhood and finally making progress on goals when you feel like you’ve been stuck for years. She encourages listeners to acknowledge when life has been harder or different than expected, prioritize genuine self-care before demanding more productivity from themselves, and push past the initial discomfort of getting back into the world. Rachel also explains that when you know what to do but still aren’t taking action, the missing piece may be a goal exciting enough to pull you forward, a powerful enough reason for pursuing it, or a community that challenges you to grow.

🎥 THIS EPISODE IS BEST ENJOYED ON YOUTUBE: [WATCH HERE]

This week’s episode is a little different. It’s part podcast, part vlog, and definitely better when you can actually see what I’m talking about. So if you have the option, come hang out with me on YouTube. If you’re driving, walking, folding laundry, or otherwise committed to audio, don’t worry, I’ve got you.

I’m catching you up on ALL the things: moving our family from Los Angeles to the Hudson Valley, our new house, what country life actually looks like, and some of the changes happening in this new season of my life. I’m also getting personal about perimenopause, my health, and why I’m considering HRT. Basically, life looks very different these days, so grab a coffee (or put in your headphones) and let’s catch up. 🤟
