  • Dangerously Disguised

    There’s a difference between sharing your opinion and convincing others while spreading misinformation about any areas outside of your expertise. I hope listeners have their own heads on their shoulders and not allow for influencers to dictate their own opinions especially on mental health/trauma concerns. Rachel seems to keep herself in disempowering place led by her own trauma struggles and instead of empowering herself through healing she puts responsibility on everyone else and makes it her ... more

  • Yikes

    Male hating while advocating for men in women’s spaces and the destruction of her native country and its sacred traditions through illegal migration. I fear she might have dug a hole too big to crawl out of.

  • Truly from the heart

    I settle when I listen to Rachel talk. The honesty, the willingness to be vulnerable and moments of laughter and deeply nourishing. Also learning a lot about chickens 😁😉

  • Truly....from the heart.

    It is with a very heavy heart that I am hitting "unfollow" and "unsubscribe" today. For a long time, Rachel Brathen (The Yoga Girl) and her podcast, From the Heart, were my go-to sources for peace. I looked forward to every episode, post, and story. I was deeply drawn to her yoga practice, her nourishing recipes, the glimpses into her family and farm life, and that signature calming voice that felt like a deep breath in a chaotic world. Unfortunately, the platform has shifted significantly. Whi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask Rachel: Meet Yourself Where You Are
Q: What is a practical practice to reconnect with oneself in the midst of daily life?
Micro‑check‑ins before agreeing to requests, pausing to assess how one truly feels, and building a habit of choosing integrity over immediate compliance, which gradually strengthens the inner voice.
Ask Rachel: Meet Yourself Where You Are
Q: How can someone decide whether to expand their family when the partner has strong opinions?
Conscious conception and honest conversations, honoring one's own body and timing, and recognizing that alignment with a partner requires dialogue and shared values rather than coercion, with attention to not rushing decisions.
Ask Rachel: Meet Yourself Where You Are
Q: How do you know when a decision is truly for yourself versus for family or others?
Learning to hear the inner voice clearly through embodiment, recognizing whether a choice arises from authentic desire or societal expectations, and using a process (like riding an emotional wave or waiting for neutral feelings) to decide.
Introducing Family Lore
Q: So here's what I want to understand.
The host asks about the motivation behind exploring ancestral lines; the guest responds that they have been drawn to the topic for a long time and are more interested in the stories than statistical DNA breakdowns, focusing on how personal histories and the circumstances of ancestors move people today.
Ask Rachel: How to (really) Build Confidence in Your Kids
Q: Hi Rachel, I just wanted to say thank you... how do you manage feeling heard and connected with listeners while maintaining boundaries online?
I strive to stay authentic, acknowledge the community, and recognize the space is real and meaningful; even when online, the connection is valued and mutual.
