Appreciate you! 🙏

[@cassiehale9714]

I feel like this was the exact message I needed to hear. I’m a single mom who has been struggling, desperately, with depression and anxiety. Her message gave me hope. I can’t wait to listen to her album and delve more into my connection with the Divine. I plan on trying the Love Letter she mentioned. Hoping the pain I’m experiencing is leading me to something greater. Thank you both for your candid thoughts. You are serving this community in such a beautiful way.

[@Diosa0216]

Hugs

[@Potatoplayz-k9z]

​@@Diosa0216single mom here too. The struggle is real. You aren't actually alone, even though it feels like it 99.99% of the time. Hugs, you're stronger than you think

[@jorginawilliams9430]

I was just going to comment on the interview and saw your comment - exactly this. Word for word, this.

[@DrMortezaChalak]

So true, I used to feel lonely too until I learnt to connect with my universal essence that is in fact divine love too

[@DrMortezaChalak]

@@Potatoplayz-k9z 100 percent agree. We are not alone because our essence is within everyone else around us .. even when we don't know them we are with them in essence

[@ashleyr2179]

I’m 4 years post partum and I turned around and realized I have no clue who I am anymore. I started listening to your podcasts and it got me on a journey et to meditating and changing my mindset. It’s been 3 months and I am starting to feel like a person again. This interview with Rachel made me feel like there is not just one path to enlightenment. Each of us have our own path and when we look within and love ourselves again you find your peace. Thank you both for a lovely session. It brightened my day and helped me on my own journey!

[@DrMortezaChalak]

great to hear. Keep up the great work

[@biasedknowledge]

This is so powerful, Rachel. I once worked with a client who was consumed by the idea that she needed to ‘stay in the light’ to manifest her dreams, much like you were. She thought her negative emotions would derail her success. We worked on accepting those feelings, and the result was a deeper connection to her true self. Watching you describe that exact process of turning pain into art was like reliving her transformation. It’s a reminder that facing the darkness is the only way to truly heal and move forward.

[@JenniferNieves-m6y]

This is so incredibly relatable! As a single mom, I have no idea where my strength comes from when I’m exhausted from working a full time job , cheering my kids on during sporting events and then maintaining my home. The exhaustion is REAL .

[@richaelerose1111]

I listened to this while cooking breakfast for my babies. I teared up a couple times because it’s so relatable. Life can be so hard sometimes. I think we have all had our moments when we were screaming mercy. I love how Rachel was able to alchemize those experiences. Can’t wait to listen to the song !

[@taymdman10]

This pain is the way forward. I am 8 months postpartum, I have suffered and continue to struggle through insomnia, PPD and PPA. I have felt alone. This has given me hope that one day in the future I will look back on this time and know that this pain is the way forward. This pain is molding me into the stronger and more resilient self I will become. Thank you Rachel for sharing your story.

[@DrMortezaChalak]

I belive 100 percent that you can. The great step is deciding and realising . all the best

[@deniselove3849]

How many hours of sleep do you sleep in a day? Am 4 month of having stress or aniexty I don't even know what to call it. I sleep and wake up at the same time every single day and I have very dark eye bags now. Never had them. I have a tight chest and my stomach feel tight and bloated.

[@DrMortezaChalak]

@deniselove3849 seeing Dr would be great. In the meanwhile meditation, coaching or counselling from right people can save u

[@kittykaterickson]

When Rachel says “anyone you know who might be suffering share the music”. She truly lives her life as a connected member of this “all one”life. Thank you for choosing her to gift us with. You both are “being of service and loving yourselves”.

[@kittykaterickson]

P.S. I also love how Lewis really “sees” and hears people as he asked Rachel how can we be of service to you and she said please share the music to anyone you know and Lewis bought 10 albums to share with us! A miraculous, flowing interaction/interview that we can all learn and grow from!

[@lewishowes]

So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.

[@DrMortezaChalak]

@@lewishowes agree 100% they bring so much love to our lives. I am grateful too

[@aynayn-uo8wm]

I just listened to her song Mercy, its really something out of this world, a deep prayer.

[@gabeolney6299]

Every word Rachael said was gold. I love the bus analogy because I say the same thing to my son all the time. Also, the parenting wisdom. Spot on

[@reaganadams]

Her music and that album has changed my life 🙏💜 You did your job Rachel thank you for sharing your art and beauty

[@estefanisanchez127]

I can relate to her story, I crashed crashed and now I am building a loving foundation for myself.

[@abigailsnyder3325]

I don’t know where my comment went, but I posted 2 days ago Wednesday how much of an impact Rachel’s story had on me, listening to school of greatness on my study breaks! I’m in last year of physical therapy school where theres a lot of ego and pride, and you can get caught up if you don’t take a breath and genuinely ask yourself, are there wounds in myself I need to heal? Bc what I’ve learned is this work is pure servants heart, helping people who are in so much pain and they need your guidance. I’ve realized how can I take care of others if I don’t take care of myself? And Rachel hit the nail on the head. My big take away was the list she made: what are my fears, what’s my job, what’s Gods job. I’ve made that list every day since hearing this podcast! It’s insanely helpful ❤ Also side Lewis, ‘what are the chances ‘… I receive this vinyl record? 😅

[@DrMortezaChalak]

great take away points Abi. Keep up the great work

[@diklaji6076]

Unbelievable! I was crying and laughing and my heart was breaking and healing. I did not know anything about Rachel or her music but she is an amazing human being and everything she says is so so important for all of us to know and understand. Thank you again for a brilliant interview ❤

[@authenticimran]

I've listened to both the previous 'pods' w rachel like no exag 10 times this yr. I find myself reverting back to those not even words but the energy. It reminds me of why I'm on this path of acheiving something grand. Funny enough, I was listening the oldest pod 2 days ago & I remember so vividly thinking that 'I wish they sat down again after all these years' all while completely not knowing that a new pod is already out. I unconsciously sensed it. but anyways, my biggest takeaway from this was the idea of radical acceptance coupled w radical optimism. faster u accept the situation u hav on hand, faster u get make a change happen. dont stuff it down. own it. feel it. not really live in the idealistic delusions of granduer but look at the task at hand. the current reality. Rachel, I'm proud of you that ur still standing drawing breath. I love u no matter what. thankyou for just being you. Lewis, I started to acknolwedge random strangers & people that I have in my own life & I can sense how much it means to ppl. I want to acknowledge u for creating such a powerful learning platform for people who want more out of life. I admire ur work of providing value to ppl. i love u man. thankyou

[@DrMortezaChalak]

so ture, the fact that sometimes we think we are alone is such an illusion. Divine love is so deep within us. We just need to quiet our minds and listen to it

[@cognitiveconnectionss]

Genuinely look at all these beautiful comments that this episode helped

[@foodtechnology6620]

This was such a great episode Lewis. Please invite Rachy back for more chats, she is so endearing and relatable. ❤

[@michelleblaisdell3428]

This is the first time I have felt compelled to even comment. Before you even spoke about the “signed copies” I was joining her group online. What a gift, as a mom of 3 and someone who experienced an abusive/toxic relationship, I have been searching for the hard-won lessons and I have watched so many of your videos. I am a student of Dr. Joe for 5 years and that’s how I found your channel/body of work. Regardless of if I “win”anything. I am grateful for your work and showing up as a great man who has created a space for men (and women) to be vulnerable and supportive. So much love.❤️ - Michelle

[@lewishowes]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@goodinthehead]

Just listen to that song. Wow! Thank you so much. Loved this podcast.

Rachel, I think your wish for your album is being fulfilled ❤

[@sanjeevkn99]

Spiritual bypass that is so true. I do it all the time, lot of stuff needs to be seen, felt and taken care of

[@alchemystry2588]

Thank you for sharing so openly - with love and in service - inspiration and so much resonance as going through one of the hardest times with severe depression and anxiety … and thinking how am I going to use this experience for more self love and learn for serving others !!! Thank you for transforming and listening to your pain and inspiration - for yourself - but for soooo many others ! Look forward to the love letter and 🎵. Best wishes, love and appreciation to both Rachel and Lewis ❤️🙏🏻

[@hopeclarke5696]

Thanks Raquel for sharing with us your talent and stories❤I hit rock bottom with anxiety from lossing so many friends and family. Music helped me heal! Much blessing to your family 💕

[@MargaretHeckbert-j8d]

This was a very helpful. The RAIN acronym is going on the fridge at work and home. Thanks to Rachel and Lewis.

[@Mmyythandle]

Such a good reminder that even ppl with all the things you wish you had - family, great career - can still feel alone. I’ve realized my sudden need to marry and have kids and feeling lonely may be coming from within. It’s hard to tell though because it is also normal to want to bond with other humans. Idk, I’ll unpack this with my therapist lol

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Hey there! Dealing with anxiety and depression can be tough, but remember, you're not alone in this. Finding activities that bring you joy, talking to someone you trust, or practicing mindfulness can really help lift your spirits. You've got this!

[@DrMortezaChalak]

100% agree. great points

[@auroreborrelly6445]

I love Rachel’s vibes and her aura sucked me in! LOVE and Acceptance were the biggest take aways from the interview. I actually went out to listen to her album before I finished listening to the interview… and it’s captivating and soulful. It comes from a place of depth and I was so grateful to listen to the album and to this show!! Keep doing a great job Lewis!! Will be sharing and remembering the RAIN acronym. 🙏🥰 ❤

[@SonyaKhanOfficial]

This is a reminder that we all are capable of reaching our fullest potential exactly as we are. But it starts with accepting the way things are, by honouring our pain, not shoving it and our emotions down. By accepting that we may need help. And that suffering is not shameful when in actual reality it is the key to your alignment with your purpose. Channeling the pain towards a higher purpose. Even though it feels like everything is falling apart, it’s actually all coming together. Regardless if whilst in depression and anxiety, sleepless nights, you could not see the light, it was all leading you to exactly where you were meant to be and needed to be the most. Even at your lowest point, especially there, that’s where God needed you to be, for his plan to unfold. That is exactly where the light can find you, like a phoenix from the ashes! For the divine within you begins to emerge and it creates a ripple effect. It is truly when you surrender to the darkness and allow yourself to accept it all that your heart opens up to the truth. Let it all purge through you, cry, scream, DANCE, SING, shout!! Write, express, CREATE! So that you can become a divine container of that pain for the collective. Not being afraid of it. Thus something that surpasses all logic can be created through you. A state of deep reverence. Let it move you and all the souls who resonate with you will find you and connect with it. That is truly what it means to be an artist, a human. To be one with the universe. It was always meant to be this way! So you could shine so beautifully in your rawness and truest expression. So that the abundance that is each and every one of our birth rights can then come towards us. When we surrender and believe in our own power. One love, one heart, lets stick together and feel alright~ Bob Markey.🕊️ We are all connected. It’s all within, it always has been and will forever be. Let that sink in and keep coming back to that state of being, it is your truest self. Your higher self.❤

[@DrMortezaChalak]

i agree. realising that our essense is in everyone else and we are all connected is so important and beautiful

[@kelongeorge9395]

So genuine been through the same after years I am totally heal , we all can ,I wrote songs and a book from that darkness

[@Unseen000]

Having struggled with depression my whole life, I often wonder what it’s like to be in the shoes of someone who does not have depression l. I’d love to know what it feels like to be free from this weight.

This share is gold ❤ thank you so much beautiful magical mystical mama Rachel! Going now to listen to your new music thanks for being such a sacred chemical activist for your art♥️♥️♥️! Lewis thank you deeply for inviting her to your show. I looove your interviews. I normally don’t write in the text threads and wish to do this with as much care and compassion as possible. There was a thread I kept feeling as you hosted Lewis in asking for a deeper acceptance of what was and what is with Rachel‘s share. Without having to find out the why each thing happened or the how to have prevented… And at the same time thank you for your curiosity and for doing your sacred work & showing up daily to host with love 🙏🏽 I am in awe and thrilled that the new paradigm of powerfilled {by Gods grace} mamas are rising again and remembering that there is another way-and-that is we each have our own sacred rite & rights to our own rebirth remembrance and each step of the way is worthy & wholly♥️deeply grateful for this episode🙏🏽blessing and bounty to both and this beautiful community♥️

[@ThrowBackZone]

Well, I guess it's time to cancel my subscription to 'Positive Vibes Only' magazine! 😂

[@mrsadam1420]

The only problem of this talk is she doesn't understand that manifestation needs to come hand in hand with healing. She emphasizes on the separation of the 2, which will never work. Be all ears, but manifestation does work. You just need to put your work on both side of healing and clarify what you need for real. Without Dr.Joe, as long as my strong support system I would be already dead. 🚩From the bottom suicidal heart's.
