In this deeply reflective episode of the Power to Pursue Podcast, Rachel DeRochers sits down with writer, founder, and cultural thinker Rachel Cargle for a conversation about what it means to be well, not as a goal, but as a daily practice.
Rachel shares what she’s learning in this season of stillness: returning home to Ohio, paying attention to cycles, redefining ambition, and letting go of the noise that once shaped her choices. Together, they explore grief as an expansive teacher, the freedom that can coexist with loss, and how tending to ourselves, and each other, is an act of radical care.
This episode touches on:
Redefining success, rhythm, and enoughness
Grief, gratitude, and the ways they live side by side
Aging, self-trust, and learning yourself over time
Creating spaces of safety, community, and belonging
Why “it can just be this beautiful” is more than a mantra
This is a conversation for anyone navigating change, healing, or the quiet courage it takes to choose yourself, again and again.
