In this solo episode, I’m unpacking the truth about the “gap” so many of us feel between our current reality and the life we know we’re meant for. Whether it’s in your relationships, career, or money - the problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough. It’s that your subconscious, nervous system, and energetic setpoint might still be aligned with the old you. I share how we bridge that gap from the inside out using my science-based, Indigenous-led method rooted in deep inner rewiring and sacred self-reclamation. In this episode, I riff on: Why this "gap" exists and what to do about it How subconscious beliefs and nervous system dysregulation create repeating patterns in relationships, career, and money Examples of how your current programming keeps you from what you desire How to stop sabotaging and start creating your dream life LINKS Rachael's Website Rachael's Instagram Rachael's LinkedIn Private Mentorship for Indigenous Leaders (apply here) Indigenous Employee Empowerment Program
