The Cycle Breakers Podcast

• True Reconciliation Begins Within

  So often, reconciliation is framed as something external, but in this conversation, I take you deeper into the inner world where real, lasting change begins. I share my own lived experience of what it’s meant to reconcile with the parts of myself I was once taught to disconnect from - the grief, the shame, the unworthiness, the fear - and how doing this deep inner work has shaped the way I show up as a leader, healer, and guide for other Indigenous women. In this episode I riff on: What is required to reconcile with both lived and ancestral traumas Why personal healing is essential before we lead others How inner reclamation creates ripple effects through our lineage LINKS Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn Private Mentorship Application for Indigenous Women  Indigenous Employee Empowerment Program

• Balancing the Modern and the Medicine - Walking in Two Worlds

  This episode is for the woman navigating the space between who she was taught to be and who she truly is. The one who feels the pull toward her Indigenous roots while still moving through a modern world. Walking in two worlds isn’t always easy - but it’s sacred work. In this conversation, I share what I’ve learned about honouring both the modern and the medicine, and how you can navigate the pathway as well. In this episode, I riff on: what it really means to walk in two worlds embracing your full self - even the walking contradictions  the role of ancestral and generational healing letting go of the colonial "should's" integrating an Indigenous worldview into your leadership LINKS Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn Private Mentorship for Indigenous Leaders  Indigenous Employee Empowerment Program

• Ego Deaths, Plutophobia, and Fear of Leaving People Behind

  This week’s episode is a transmission straight from my personal transformation. I share what’s been moving through me over the past month - a deep reckoning with ego death(s), an awareness of plutophobia (the fear of wealth), and the fear of leaving people behind. These aren’t just individual experiences; they’re collective initiations that so many Indigenous women and men are navigating as we rise, reclaim, and remember. I open up about what these experiences have looked and felt like for me, how they’re connected to ancestral trauma and colonial conditioning, and what it takes to move through them. This is for anyone who’s walking through a portal of becoming and needs a reminder that you are not alone - you are breaking cycles and building legacy. In this episode, I explore: What plutophobia really is and how it blocks Indigenous wealth and success How guilt can hold us back from our potential The sacred unraveling of an ego death and what it looks like How to reframe success so you don't fear abandoning your people    LINKS Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn Private Mentorship for Indigenous Leaders  Indigenous Employee Empowerment Program

• The Reconnection Journey: Walking Between Worlds as an Indigenous Woman

  In this solo episode, I share the sacred and sometimes challenging journey of reconnecting to one's Indigenous roots while navigating life in two worlds - the modern and the medicine. I speak candidly about identity, ancestral healing, spiritual initiation, and the transformative power of embracing the Seven Sacred Teachings. This episode is for Indigenous women who are also reclaiming their culture, breaking generational cycles, and seeking to live in alignment with their true purpose - personally and professionally.  In this episode, Rach riffs on: The realities and complexities of living between two worlds Facing and integrating deep ancestral and personal trauma The initiations of embodying the Seven Sacred Teachings The importance of decolonizing mindset and business practices Embracing your mission and walking the Red Road with humility and courage   LINKS Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn Private Mentorship for Indigenous Leaders (APPLY) Indigenous Employee Empowerment Program (BOOK A CALL)
