890 |ASK RACH: “Help! I'm Burned Out. What Am I Doing Wrong?” + “How Do I Balance Work, Home, and a New Baby?” Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

In this Ask Rach episode, Rachel answers two powerful listener questions that so many women can relate to. First, a caller asks how to take care of herself without feeling completely burnt out.

Then, another caller opens up about the struggle of balancing work, home, and life with a new baby. Rachel offers her signature big sister advice on why “balance” is a myth, what rhythm looks like in real life, and how to keep perspective in the hardest seasons.

889 | The Secret to Finally Breaking Old Patterns Sep 15, 2025

Show notes

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the same cycle — repeating the same patterns in your health, your relationships, or your work — no matter how hard you try to change? You’re not alone.

In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, we’re talking about the secret to finally breaking old patterns: raising your standards. Not the big shiny goals (your ceiling), but the everyday choices and habits (your floor) that quietly shape your entire life.

You’ll learn:

Why your current “normal” may be the very thing holding you back

How small, repeatable standards rewire your brain and reinforce new beliefs

The energetic truth: your standards don’t just change you, they change the vibration you send out into the world

Four key areas to audit (health, relationships, self-respect, and vocation) to raise your floor and transform your life

This conversation is inspired by a chapter in my latest book that asks the question: What’s your floor? Because once you raise the level of what you’re willing to accept as “normal,” you’ll be amazed at how fast your life begins to shift.

If you’re ready to stop spinning in the same patterns and finally step into the life you’ve been dreaming about — this episode is for you.
