The Absurdity of the World, Prepping, and Why You Need To Rely On Yourself

In today’s episode, Rachel shares many opposing thoughts that we are all thinking right now: the world is absurd, crazy and scary - but the world is also full of so many beautiful things. Everywhere we look there is war, genocide, starvation, and terrifying men in positions of power. But there are also children laughing, flowers blooming, and ducks in Rachel’s house! How can these polarities exist at once? And even more so, how can we find happiness and joy amidst the chaos and uncertainty? Whatever you are doing to take care of yourself right now is beautiful. Whether that looks like small self-care practices or prepping a bunker for the apocalypse (Rachel shares a bit more of her journey here, too!), it all counts. At the end of the day, the only one coming to save you is you. Tune in for an episode that will empower you to remember that you are the one you have been waiting for.
