Welcome to FROM THE TRENCHES mini-episodes—a brief, unscripted voice note from my heart to yours. This one is raw, tender, and anchored in a mama’s deepest fear and her fiercest faith.

In this episode, I share my real-time thoughts as I process the tragic floodwaters that swept through Camp Mystic in Texas and the girls who are still missing. We talk about grief, prayer, and how to stay grounded when the unimaginable hits close to home.

In this honest reentry episode, I (Rachel) share the behind-the-scenes truth of why I paused my business, what life has looked like over the past few months, and how I'm rebuilding from a more rooted, radiant place. This episode is for the anxious mama who feels like what used to work just isn’t working anymore—and who’s craving a gentler, deeper rhythm for resourcing herself and regulating her nervous system.

What You’ll Hear:

• Why burnout doesn't always feel dramatic (but still hits hard when you ignore burnout signs)

• The real-life personal challenges that brought me to a full pause

• How resourcing yourself must evolve with every new season of life

• An invitation to reimagine your own rhythm and needs right now

• What’s coming next inside the Ditch Mom Anxiety world

Feel like if you slow down you'll sacrifice everything you've been working towards? Like if you take even 15 minutes to yourself to calm that mom overwhelm, you'll end up with a disaster of a house and never be able to get back into the flow of things again? This belief is killing you mama! I'm sharing why rest is actually the key to ultimate success and how it relates to your nervous system dysregulation.
