In this episode of The Rachel Hollis podcast, she playfully explores the idea of entering a “hot era” by investing more intention into personal appearance and self-confidence, arguing that when people feel attractive, they often feel more empowered, energized, and confident in every area of life. Drawing from her own experiences with things like lash extensions, hair extensions, Botox, wardrobe changes, and beauty routines, she emphasizes that these choices are not about pleasing others but about making oneself feel good and worthy of care. Throughout the episode, she encourages listeners to stop limiting themselves with labels like “I’m not that kind of girl,” and instead embrace whatever changes—big or small—help them feel more vibrant, confident, and excited about life, whether that means updating their closet, trying a new beauty treatment, or simply highlighting their favorite feature.

In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rach encourages listeners to stop waiting for a future milestone to finally feel fulfilled and instead learn to love their lives in the present by focusing on intentional daily practices rather than external achievements. Using the metaphor of a marathon, she explains that people often obsess over the “finish line” while ignoring the small moments and consistent effort that make up the journey. Rach argues that long-term happiness comes less from money, success, or relationships and more from mindset, gratitude, and the habits people cultivate each day. She shares five practical ways to “get your spark back”: embracing possibility and having things to look forward to, romanticizing everyday life through mindfulness and rituals, going on solo “artist dates” to reconnect with curiosity and creativity, celebrating small wins instead of only major accomplishments, and curating one’s environment and energy by protecting mental space and limiting draining influences like mindless social media use. Throughout the episode, she emphasizes that passion, novelty, and presence are antidotes to feeling stuck or emotionally flat, and that learning to appreciate life as it exists now creates the momentum and energy needed to build an even better future.

In this episode of The Rachel Hollis podcast, she challenges the idea that adulthood, ambition, or leadership must constantly feel exhausting and argues that a lighter, more intentional life is often built through small daily choices rather than dramatic overhauls. Drawing from her own recent move from Los Angeles to the Hudson Valley, she reflects on simplifying her lifestyle and shares nine “tiny habits” that help her feel more grounded, including starting the day with intention, avoiding her phone in the morning, using the two-minute rule to overcome procrastination, drinking water before coffee, setting a bedtime alarm, moving her body daily, ending the day by noticing what went right, finding moments of laughter, and practicing self-compassion. Ultimately, she emphasizes that meaningful change does not come from perfection or doing everything at once, but from consistently choosing one small habit that brings more ease, presence, and gratitude into everyday life.

In this edition of Ask Rach, Rachel Hollis responds to two listener questions centered on the challenges of balancing ambition, work, and family. First, she speaks with a single mother of teenagers who feels guilty for spending years focused on building her businesses rather than being fully present with her kids, encouraging her to stop viewing her sacrifices as failures and instead recognize the life and stability she built for her family. Rachel emphasizes that rebuilding connection with teenagers is still possible, but it requires showing up for them on their terms, respecting their individuality, and finding authentic shared experiences rather than forcing emotional conversations. In the second half, she addresses a listener asking about household support systems, openly sharing her own experiences with mothers’ helpers, nannies, housekeepers, and delegating responsibilities throughout different seasons of motherhood and entrepreneurship. She argues that seeking help at home should not carry shame, especially for working parents, and reframes hiring support as both practical and empowering, ultimately encouraging listeners to let go of unrealistic expectations and build lives that allow them to focus on what matters most.

In this experimental, live-recorded episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rachel experiments with a looser Rach Talk format recorded in her Instagram broadcast channel, mixing personal development advice with casual life updates and pop-culture commentary. In this episode, her main message is that falling off track is inevitable, so people should stop treating failure as proof of who they are and instead build a daily “reset plan” to help them recover quickly. Using examples from baseball, tennis, journaling, and inner-child visualization, she encourages listeners to identify the emotions that come up when they fail and create small spiritual or grounding practices that meet those emotional needs. The episode then shifts into lighter topics, including the Met Gala, upcoming sequels, Martha Stewart, moving to the Hudson Valley, wanting a dog, debating chickens, and her hopes for Mother’s Day.

Cyndi discusses leaving corporate life to build Wanderlust Campus into a nationally recognized business while simultaneously transforming her health and inspiring her children. Throughout the conversation, themes of imposter syndrome, leadership, resilience, and the power of community emerge, as Rachel emphasizes that extraordinary change often begins with small, imperfect steps and the willingness to believe in a bigger vision for your life.

In this episode, Rachel takes you into one of the most honest conversations she's had yet: what it really means to make a promise, to yourself, to your goals, to the life you say you want.

Inspired by her own story of quitting on herself over and over again before finally figuring out what follow-through actually requires, Rachel walks you through how she completely redefined what a promise means, and how that single shift changed everything. Her health. Her business. The way she shows up for herself every single day.

This isn't a motivational pep talk. It's a framework.

Inside this episode, Rachel shares 5 points of reference that will help you redefine your promises from the ground up so that when you set a goal or build a habit, you're doing it with real clarity, real intention, and a much better shot at actually seeing it through.

And because this work deserves more than just a listen, we've paired this episode with this month's worksheets — a companion guide designed to help you go deeper on your own and take an honest look at what your current promises actually look like.

954 | Not Making Enough Money in Your Business? Try These 4 Things! Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

Work on your business with us THIS FRIDAY!! RISE Elevate Chicago is May 1st. Get virtual access here.
If your business isn’t making the money you thought it would by now, this episode is for you. So many entrepreneurs think they need a new strategy, a better funnel, or the latest marketing trend to finally grow—but most of the time, the real issue is much simpler: they don’t understand the basic ways a business actually makes money.

In today’s episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, I’m breaking down the four core levers that drive revenue in any business—regardless of your industry, audience size, or experience level. We’re talking about how to increase the value of each transaction, how to create more transactions, how to bring customers back more often, and how to stop chasing tactics before you’ve mastered the fundamentals.

Because TikTok Shop, AI tools, and social media trends are just vehicles—the real growth happens when you know which lever to pull and why. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated by inconsistent revenue, this episode will help you stop guessing and start growing with intention.
