In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach shares five practical strategies for staying productive while working from home, even when life feels chaotic. Drawing from her own experience juggling motherhood, running a business, and navigating a home renovation, Rachel challenges the idea that you need the perfect workspace or an uninterrupted schedule to achieve your goals. She explains how to make the most of the time and resources you already have, create realistic work schedules, and prioritize meaningful results over simply staying busy. Rach also emphasizes the importance of getting outside, moving your body, and embracing imperfection rather than letting unexpected interruptions derail your progress. Whether you're building a business, pursuing a side hustle, or working toward a personal dream, Rachel encourages listeners to stop waiting for the perfect circumstances and start making consistent progress with what they have.

I struggle with motivation too—especially in midlife, when things I used to push through suddenly feel impossible to care about. When that happens, I try to pause before telling myself to work harder and ask a few questions about what I’m pursuing and why.
In this episode, I share an excerpt from my upcoming book and walk through three questions that help me check in with myself:
• Do I still want this goal? Or am I chasing it because I’ve been chasing it for so long that I haven’t stopped to reconsider?
• Does the goal still matter, but the path need to change? Sometimes I still want the destination, but the way I’m trying to get there no longer works for my life.
• Am I still connected to my original why? It’s easy to start out pursuing something meaningful and gradually get distracted by recognition, promotions, or someone else’s definition of success.
We’re talking about listening to your intuition, outgrowing old goals, and giving yourself permission to rethink the plan.
As you listen—or watch—ask yourself: What am I working toward that I haven’t checked in on in a while?

In this throwback episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach tackles a feeling so many women experience but rarely talk about: losing themselves in the midst of motherhood, relationships, careers, and everyday responsibilities. Drawing from her own experiences, Rachel shares nine practical ways to reconnect with who you are and rediscover the parts of yourself that have gotten buried beneath everyone else's expectations. From breaking out of autopilot and shaking up your routine to setting boundaries, embracing boredom, and letting go of people-pleasing, she explains why finding yourself again doesn't require a dramatic life overhaul. Rach also encourages listeners to reconnect with the things they once loved, create meaningful daily rituals, and celebrate the small victories that prove they're becoming the person they want to be. Through it all, she emphasizes that rebuilding your identity takes patience, intention, and the courage to start choosing yourself again.

Finally, Rach shares her unconventional approach to navigating workplace politics and overcoming intimidation around powerful male colleagues, explaining why understanding the rules of the game can help women advance in their careers and eventually change those rules themselves.
