The Origin Story of Start Today and How to Achieve Your Goals
In this video, Rachel introduces herself to the Start Today community, sharing her journey from a wedding and event planner to a successful author and podcast host. She discusses the challenges of managing life with young children while trying to grow her business and the realization that hard work alone is not the key to success. Instead, focusing on one goal at a time led her to develop a transformative daily practice. This practice, which involves writing down goals as if they have already been achieved and expressing gratitude, became the foundation of the Start Today journal. Rachel emphasizes that Start Today is more than just a product; it's a practice aimed at improving lives through ownership and intention. She offers insights into the power of positive visualization and energetic alignment, urging her audience to share their dreams and support each other in a community of doers.

I dropped my kids off at daycare and school and was thinking about picking up my old Start Today journal. I opened youtube when I got home to start some chores and this video was just uploaded. If that's not a sign idk what is. Thank you!

[@emilybraun7766]

@rach you set the bar so high for podcasters/youtubers! I go and listen to other shows and time and time again it’s a bit of a letdown. You have a gift and honed skill of storytelling. So grateful for you! 🎉

Just wanted to send a little note to say that I’m so happy and proud of you and all your accomplishments. You’re sure amazing, and an incredible mom and person. You are truly an inspiration to all. You have helped people all over the world. Thank you for all you do. Love always, Kira

Exactly what I needed. My journal is right by me and I thought I would start again. Thanks for justifying it!

[@joyfullyjustine]

I needed this today! I'm trying to do everything all the time with no real focus but know eventually something will stick. The journaling practice is something I used to do but more of a brain dump. The gratitude and goal practice is what I've been missing! Thank you! 🌸❤️

Rachel is my fave teacher! :) thanks for this!

I think it gives the right kind of dopamine when you phrase your goal the right way. Dopamine is motivating I think

I am going through a really dark time in my life right now. I'm trying so many things to cope and I feel like you said "the salmon trying to swim up stream" I loved your book girl wash your face and girl stop apologizing. Thats literally me rn. I am trying to land this new job but at my current one I am effing miserable. I try talking to my husband about it and he listens for the most part but I overwhelm him and it stressed him out. Hes doing very well in his journey and I'm this toxic person holding him back from true happiness. I'm trying to do my own journey but I'm so tired of people around be becoming casualties. I hope I can find peace soon because I hate this.
