Visit In this episode of The Rachel Hollis podcast, she challenges the idea that adulthood, ambition, or leadership must constantly feel exhausting and argues that a lighter, more intentional life is often built through small daily choices rather than dramatic overhauls. Drawing from her own recent move from Los Angeles to the Hudson Valley, she reflects on simplifying her lifestyle and shares nine “tiny habits” that help her feel more grounded, including starting the day with intention, avoiding her phone in the morning, using the two-minute rule to overcome procrastination, drinking water before coffee, setting a bedtime alarm, moving her body daily, ending the day by noticing what went right, finding moments of laughter, and practicing self-compassion. Ultimately, she emphasizes that meaningful change does not come from perfection or doing everything at once, but from consistently choosing one small habit that brings more ease, presence, and gratitude into everyday life.
