The Rachel LaForce ShowWINTER IS COMING: Commit to Your Purpose + the Purpose of Slowing DownWoof y'all! Welcome to your penultimate episode of season four! Next week is your final episode before my two month hiatus. I am so excited for this episode and our next four months of integration. A listener asked for an episode that helps us prepare to move from Fall to Winter and what a doozy! This winter is asking us to tap into our inner power. Like - completely. Slowing down has never been sexier. This Winter, we are being tasked with sitting with our power and truly, once and for all, committing to our purpose so that we...2024-10-2437 min

The Rachel LaForce ShowSLOW DOWN SO YOU DON'T MISS ITI go too fast. I have ADHD. I have two toddlers. Two arms to both of my brands and I am guilty of thinking FASTER will get me there FASTER. Erroneous on all counts. Over the past few weeks, I have heard a call to slow down. Like - to actually - once and for all - slow the f down. The wisest part of me whispers, "Don't miss it". I have come to accept, true devotion means slowing down enough to enjoy your life. To enjoy the process, so that when "there" arrives, I am present and rested...2024-10-1718 min

The Rachel LaForce ShowFIT AND FAMOUS BY FORTY: TWO MONTH UPDATEWE DID IT FOLKS! We are officially at the two-month mark of my Fit and Famous by Forty journey - which means YOU are officially two months into your own transformation! With only 19 months left, it's time to reflect on the challenges you've encountered and the insights you've gained. My personal biggest takeaway thus far is the power of daily devotion. Consistent, small actions WILL lead to significant change. You have to start embodying the energy of your future self into the now. Love your way into your future. It's the best way to stay present. Stay in, stay...2024-10-1026 min

The Rachel LaForce ShowPLAYING AT THE EDGE OF FAILUREThe time has come y'all! When I lined up all of my successes and my failures; all of my successes had one thing in common; they all happened when I was playing close to the edge of failure. Pushing ourselves to the brink of failure is an exciting place. The universe recently told me to "get loud," and I decided it’s damn near time for a change. Doubt can be sneaky. It takes emotional and practical work to chase big dreams. But playing close to failure is the most magnetic and freeing way to live. Get out there; we...2024-10-0320 min

The Rachel LaForce Show4 THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU’RE STARTING SOMETHING NEWWe’re almost two months into the start of my Fit + Famous by 40 journey and it is no joke y'all. This week I want to share four valuable lessons to remember when you're starting something new (that I’ve learned firsthand). I want you to be gentle with yourself as you embrace the learning curve of starting something new. Be patient and be willing to be a beginner. Immediate results are rare. Slow, steady growth is normal and necessary. Shift from seeking instant gratification to having deep-seated confidence in your efforts. Starting something new is about showing up daily with...2024-09-2524 min

The Rachel LaForce ShowPART 2: Deepening Your Capacity for StressThe ability to manage your stress separates those who succeed from those who stay stuck. But we don't want to only manage our stress, we want to deepen our capacity to handle it. This means not overreacting to life's small hurdles but saving our energy for the big obstacles. Evolving and moving forward despite various challenges takes real grit. This episode is about learning to release attachment to outcomes and making active choices that are our highest. And please, this is a practice, so go easy on yourself. But y'all better practice! LYMI! Don't...2024-09-1230 min

The Rachel LaForce ShowFIT + FAMOUS BY FORTY: Creating A New Story and Stepping into Our LightIf you've been following me on Instagram then you know I am - ahem - WE ARE - embarking on a new journey. Fit and Famous by Forty. 21 months. That's it, friends. That is the timeline for us to create a new story for ourselves about who we are and what we want in this life. For me, FAFBF is very personal. This journey is about uncovering my true sense of worthiness. Full embodiment. So much of my worth - or lack thereof - has been tied to my negative body image and walking alongside fame for the majority...2024-08-0824 min

The Rachel LaForce ShowAUGUST: Fresh TerritoryCongratulations. You've leveled up. So that means August is literal fresh territory. You've arrived and now it's time to decide where it is you want to go. We have been chipping away at this piece of marble for a few months now - years really - but who's counting. LOLZ. And well - this new energy, this "quantum leap", this "portal" has arrived. I don't typically find myself attracted to that language - but it is what's happening. In this episode I use the energy of American politics (I know, what a ride.) as a...2024-08-0121 min

The Rachel LaForce ShowNERVOUS SYSTEM - PART 2 of “It’s Yours: The Business of Leveling Up + Overcoming Your Self Sabotage”First up and off the top, I added an addendum to the beginning of the episode and explain my dyslexia and acknowledged I pronounced sympathetic incorrectly pretty much the entire episode lolz. In other news, this episode packs a PUNCH! I connect the metaphorical tissue from our Acceptance episode to the power of our nervous system. Our bodies are wildly complex systems built to help us thrive. I walk us through the self sabotage many of us experience in relation to our bodies as well as the actual function of our nervous systems. Acceptance without embodiment is just a...2024-07-1843 min

In this series, we will discuss what it means to truly ACCEPT our soul’s path, how to retrain our NERVOUS SYSTEM and learn a new course of RESPONSE AND ACTION. Today we begin with what it means to fully surrender to our soul’s path. That we don’t have to do anything extraordinary to just be us. When we set our truth in motion, the path will be illuminated...2024-07-1126 min

Two weeks ago I flew to Boston for an exclusive, LIVE podcast interview with the women behind Cal Verde Naturals! I sat down with their Owner, Kelly Tomasello and their CCO, Emma Thurston to hear about their experiences building Cal Verde. We discovered we had so much more to discuss! We dove deep into the shadow cast over women and cannabis; especially the shame facing mothers. The shame and therefore lack of education around women’s bodies in general - even more so - how a variety of cannabis when used for medicine can show p...2024-06-201h 00

We did a podcast collab, which meant we got to sit down and chat two weeks in a row and I gleaned such powerful reminders in talking with her. Madeline is the host of Happiest Sober Podcast and also is a sober creator on Instagram. She is the type of account I would have needed when I first quit drinking. This episode flows much more like an interview than most. Madeline offers us her story, her relationships with resiliency and what sobriety means to her. Happy (sober) Listening!

The Rachel LaForce ShowTIRED MOM: Postpartum Lessons from Pushing Out an Artistic BabyWOOF! Y'all. Buckle up for this one. I don't resonate with the term "quantum leap" because really it's just pushing to the other side of fear - although after saying that - quantum leap does sound fancier. LOLZ. Listen, if she's ever had one, it was this week. Pushing out a baby - my new half hour comedy special, TIRED MOM - has held lessons so deep in my core, I didn't even realize how much I have been holding myself back.

No more attracting big things and backing away from them. The Divine Feminine *expects* to receive. This is Beyonce at Coachella energy.

The Rachel LaForce ShowCO-DEPENDENT? NOT ME! OR IDK WHAT DO YOU THINK? with Comic Lara BeitzCan I just say, I love a good "serious" conversation with funny people. And stand up comedian, Lara Beitz is straight up hilarious. This conversation is so raw, and vulnerable. It's like an excerpt from Chicken Soup for the Soul but from millennials in recovery. Lara and I discuss "living in the now", how the ritual of stand up goes hand and hand with our personal discipline. We talk about the power of vulnerability and how codependency can sneak up on you quicker than a drunk bachelorette at your late night show.

I've seen so many comedians, podcasters, artists, actors, writers, musicians, turn and burn within a year because they are exhausting themselves without considering the long game. I hate to harsh your mellow but - overnight success isn't a real thing. When you're building a career, a creative craft, it takes time, like a lot of it and even more mistakes. As someone who has been in a game a long time and proud to say I have my 10,000 hours...2023-06-0821 min
