Rachel was instrumental when I started out as a soulpreneur she gave me the confidence to persevere. Today we sat down to talk about her forthcoming book Soul Shift. I know you’ll enjoy this soothing and inspirational conversation.
What We Talked About
- How to set boundaries to be a “Hand Free Mama”
- Committing to starting our days connected to our inner thoughts
- Learning to have compassion for yourself.
- The ills of perfection and how it can rob you of so much
- Her journey to reclaim her own inner joy
Things to Remember
“The biggest preventer of having distractions take over our lives is to have boundaries.”
“Kids love being a part of decisions and will keep you accountable.”
“There’s power in sitting with uncomfortable feelings and the truths that come up.”
“There’s no set right or wrong way to reclaim yourself and the joy within you. It’s your journey.”
“If you make a commitment to check in with your inner world before, you check in with the outer world, your day is going to be more meaningful.”
“Be vulnerable, that’s how we actually connect with people and that’s how we feel true belonging.”
“Perfection is not your friend.”
“Focus on all that you are, instead of what you’re not.”
“Tell perfection… you’re not needed here, I’m going to show up bravely, boldly, flawed and full of hope.”
– Rachel Macy Stafford
