133. Why You Crush It for Others but Get Stuck on Your Own Goals Jan 14, 2025

Show notes

In this quick business bite, I’m getting real about something I know many of us face: why we seem to hit a brick wall when it comes to getting things done for ourselves—but can effortlessly execute the same tasks for others.

I share a personal example about creating lead magnets and funnels for my business (and the lies I caught myself believing about how “hard” it would be).

This episode is a reminder to stop believing every thought you think and to challenge the stories that hold you back.

It’s about getting out of your own way, taking action, and testing your ideas—even if the results aren’t perfect right away. I also touch on why your audience may shift with your offers and why that’s okay.

Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and most importantly, do something with what you’ve learned.

If you’re ready to prioritize action and stop overthinking, this episode is for you.

Show notes

2025 is a pivotal year that will set the tone for the next 5 years of your life. That's why it's so important to approach this year with intention and decisiveness. In this episode, I share my neuroscience-based process for intention setting that goes beyond just setting goals.

Plus, I give you a sneak peek at my new program "Wired for Wealth" - a neuroscience-based, faith-driven experience to help you heal your money mindset, build wealth, and leave a lasting legacy.

131. Designing My Dream Home Dec 31, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, I share an executive decision I made that will not only help me bring a several-years long dream come to life, but also help me create a high vibe environment.

You'll also hear me reflect on the journey of finding and purchasing my home, which I initially called my "first dream house." I discuss the challenges of adjusting to living in Jacksonville, Florida, and balancing my desires while trying to support my husband's dreams, which felt counter to my own.

In addition to hearing all the ups and downs of the house buying journey, my vision board process and the frustration of unfinished projects, I share with you a life-changing decision that will finally help me have the home of my dreams.

I think that after you listen to this episode you're going to be inspired to take similar action, maybe not in your home but perhaps in your business or other area of your life that needs an upgrade.

130. My Award-Winning Book Ruined My Life! Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

Is the title of this episode a bit dramatic? Mayhap, but I assure you, there were far too many moments when it felt 100% accurate - my award-winning book was ruining my life!

Tune in as, per usual, I give you the unfiltered story of how writing my book, Permission to Offend: The Compassionate Guide for Living Unfiltered and Unafraid, paradoxically muzzled my message.

Listen in as I explore the dissonance created by trying to live up to the standard of being the "empathetic offender" 24/7, the impossibility of perfection, and how this unrealistic expectation held me back from showing up fully self-expressed.

I also set the record straight for how I'm choosing to move forward, plus a little bonus step for you and a whole lot more.

Dive in, start listening and make sure you -

Apply What You Heard:

Audit Your Perfectionism: Reflect on one area of your life where you might be holding yourself to an impossible standard. Ask yourself: Is this how I want to continue operating in 2025?
Use the All-Outcomes Matrix: As described in Chapter 7 of Permission to Offend, use this tool to clarify possible outcomes and guide your decision-making.
Practice Letting Go: Identify a situation where you’ve been afraid of being misunderstood. Take a deep breath, and remind yourself: “It’s okay to let them misunderstand me.”

129. Finding Joy, Discipline, and Dreaming Again Dec 28, 2024

Show notes

If you've ever been called (or felt) "lazy," and undisciplined, this episode is for YOU!

Hey there, it's me, Rachel Luna. I'm recording this episode way past my bedtime, but I needed to get this out to you.

In fact, I owe you an apology. This is the third (or maybe fourth?) episode I’ve recorded in the last month that I haven’t published yet. By the time you hear this, you might find a whole flood of episodes hitting your feed. But I couldn’t hold off on recording this one because it’s something that’s been weighing on my heart, and I know it might be exactly what you need to hear.

In this episode, I’m diving into some reflections on consistency, discipline, and the role joy plays in sustaining them. My dear friends Patrice Washington and Candace L. Davis have inspired me so much in this area lately.

Patrice is running a consistency challenge in her community, where she’s showing up live every single day. Watching her commitment got me thinking about trying a 365-day challenge myself. But if I’m being honest, I know I’m not ready for that kind of long-term commitment—yet.

Then there’s Candace, my writing coach and book editor. She’s been my accountability partner for what we’ve been calling a “CEO, millionaire mindset.”

In one of our conversations, I had a big realization: “Lazy Rachel” and “CEO Rachel” are not congruent. While I’m not truly lazy, I’ve often been undisciplined.

When I dug deeper, I realized the root cause (which I reveal to you in this episode, so start listening now). Because the truth is, for the past five years, ever since my cancer diagnosis, I’ve been stuck in “survival mode.” My only dream was to live, and I let that focus override everything else.

But here’s the thing: the human brain is wired to seek pleasure. Without joy and fulfillment, discipline becomes so much harder. And while “survival mode” kept me alive, it also stopped me from dreaming, playing, and pursuing bigger goals.

Wanna know the shift I'm making to make the process, the habits and discipline follow naturally? Then listen to this episode now.

As we approach a new year, I want to encourage you to join me in this journey.

Apply What You Heard:

Go to B.A.T. for yourself! (Belief Audit Time is a powerful exercise which we talk about in this episode and I also give examples of in my award-winning book, Permission to Offend: The Compassionate Guide for Living Unfiltered & Unafraid.
Identify one habit or discipline you want to focus on in 2025 and brainstorm ways to make it more enjoyable (I explain WHY this part is critical in the episode)
Start dreaming again! Are you stuck in survival mode? Tune in to this episode to hear my personal story and the steps I’m taking to dream bigger and live with more excitement and purpose.

Please leave a review and share with a friend! Your review makes a huge impact and if this episode was valuable at all, I'd be so grateful if you took 45 seconds to leave an honest review. Thanks in advance!

128. Going All In: Redefining the Dream and Letting Yourself Have it All Dec 27, 2024

Show notes

In this raw episode, I share a revelation that has been 14 years in the making. Reflecting on my business anniversary and a deeply emotional conversation with my husband, I explore the concept of going all in—what it truly means and why I’ve been holding back.

From compartmentalizing my goals as a trauma response to redefining what "having it all" looks like, this episode is an invitation for you to assess where you’ve been half-hearted and where it’s time to lean in fully.

Through journaling, honest self-reflection, and hard conversations, I’ve realized that integration—not separation—is the key to making the dream life work. But getting there requires dismantling old identities, letting go of guilt, and believing in your worthiness to have it all.

If you’ve ever felt torn between trying to do everything and truly succeeding at what matters, this episode will challenge you to redefine your vision and take practical steps toward living your fullest life.

Apply What You Heard:

Write ALL the parts of your dream (you'll understand what that means when you listen to the episode)
Read it out loud (I explain why this step is super important for this to work)
Visualize what you've written (or do the alternative practice I tell you about in the episode)

127. A Lesson After 14 Years in Business Nov 24, 2024

Show notes

In this special episode, I reflect on my 14-year journey as an entrepreneur, sharing the emotional highs and lows of building a business from the ground up. I also opens up about the challenges of self-comparison, overcoming skepticism, and navigating criticism—even from those closest to me. (Ugh! it's been a journey)

My intention is that this episode give you the motivation to go into your next season full of soul-lighting excitement, vision and dedication.

126. Characteristics of a Long-Term, Successful Coach Oct 29, 2024

Show notes

Hey friend! No fancy show notes today because I'm having tech issues and can't get into our notes program. That said, the fact that I'm willing to be imperfect and "unpolished" by publishing this episode with these "off-the-cuff" shownotes is a perfect example of a characteristic you need to have if you want to be successful as a coach for the long-term.

That's what we're talking about on today's episode - characteristics of a long-term, successful coach.

One of my 1:1 clients recently noticed that several coaches she once followed were no longer in business or had taken a long break from social media with no sign of a return. She asked me, "How have you done it? What are the characteristics of a coach who stays a coach for the long-term?"

So in this episode, I tell you my thoughts on those characteristics as somoene who has been in business for 14 years. You'll also hear a cautionary tale about making $1 Million dollars in a year.

Lots of goods in this short episode.
