In this episode of Ask Rach, Rachel Hollis answers two powerful listener questions that, while different on the surface, share a common theme: what do you do when life doesn’t line up with your dreams? One caller is battling the discouragement of a tough job market, struggling to land any role at all. Another is a young woman trying to pursue creativity while navigating the challenges of a troubled home environment.

Rachel explores the overlap between these situations — resilience, resourcefulness, and finding momentum even when circumstances feel stacked against you. With practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement, she reminds listeners that beginnings don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between survival and dreaming, this episode offers both perspective and tactical tools to help you keep moving forward.

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. Rachel shares how burnout is often a symptom of overcommitting, and why the key to recovery is aligning your time and energy with your deepest values. 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. With practical wisdom, humor, and heart, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone and you don’t have to do it all.
