  • Listen if you want to be shamed

    A few episodes in and the theme seems to be shaming rather than empowerment. Not just shaming surrounding your home and organization but body shaming, too.

  • Relatable

    Rachel really speaks to me and I never feel lectured. I find her approach kind and considerate - whilst motivating too! Her guest speakers are also awesome and a great addition to mix up the content or provide another angle. I’ve been looking for a good listen on this subject as I’ve suffered with this lifestyle for far too long and I can actually feel a mental shift for me and am getting more prepared to make some solid changes. Really enjoying this podcast!
