  • 004- Not everyone can sit at your table
    Jun 22 2025

    This week, we’re talking about discernment disguised as drama and why your dinner table (literal, emotional, digital, or energetic) is sacred ground.


    Ever felt bad for cutting someone off even after they disrespected you repeatedly? Same. But let’s be clear: forgiveness is important butdoesn’t mean free access.


    In this episode, I’m exploring the heartbreak of being hurt by people we loved and how I learned the hard way that being spiritual doesn’t mean being spineless. We’re talking energetic integrity, quiet betrayals, popcorn-eating spirit guides (you’ll see), and that moment when the Universe finally yeets people out of your life because you wouldn’t.


    If you’ve ever struggled with the balance between kindness and boundaries, this one’s for you.


    Don’t forget to comment, rate and share this episode with as many people as possible - I’d be so grateful.


    And you’ll also find me hanging out on instagram @rachaelhcarter. I’d appreciate a follow if my teachings speak to you.

  • 003 - When you have to own your sh*t (Even if you think you're a little bit right!)
    Jun 1 2025

    In this raw and real episode, Rachael opens up about a friendship breakup that cut deep — not because of one explosive moment, but because of quiet shifts, unseen resentment, and a slow unraveling that so many of us can relate to.

    From trauma recovery and emotional mismatches to a man known only as “Tagged Tim” (yes, really), this episode explores how even deep soul friendships can fall apart — and why owning your part in the breakdown is the real path to growth.

    Whether you're mourning a friendship, holding onto resentment, or wondering if you were the drama (spoiler: maybe, babe), this one’s for you.

    It’s tender. It’s a little spicy. And it might just give you the nudge to finally send that message… or lovingly let go.

  • 002 When your body is done with your BS
    May 11 2025

    What happens when your body is completely done with your hustle, your positivity, your pushing-through-it attitude — and decides to shut the whole thing down? In this episode, I’m sharing the very personal story of how my body finally said “no more”… and what it taught me about rest, resilience, and the difference between caring for your body and controlling it.


    If you’ve ever found yourself pushing past the whispers of exhaustion, this one’s for you.
