In Pursuit of the Friendships That Heal
What if one of the greatest sources of healing in your life isn't found in a romantic relationship, but in the women who walk beside you through every season? In this deeply personal episode of the Power to Pursue Podcast, Rachel sits down with her longtime friend Stephanie Beck for a conversation about friendship, healing, reinvention, and the power of being truly witnessed. Together, they reflect on nearly two decades of friendship, navigating life's hardest chapters, and the women who help us find our way back to ourselves. Stephanie shares her journey from advocacy and public service to energy healing, nervous system regulation, and facilitating women's circles designed to help women reconnect with themselves and one another. Along the way, the conversation explores grief, divorce, motherhood, personal growth, and why creating space for our emotions may be one of the most important forms of self-care. This episode is a love letter to deep friendship, meaningful connection, and the women who hold us when life asks us to become someone new. Because healing doesn't happen alone, and neither do we.

In Pursuit of Words That Matter
What if the stories we tell ourselves, and the ones we're allowed to hear, shape everything about who we become? This week on the Power to Pursue Podcast, Rachel sits down with author, poet, advocate, and community-builder Holly Brians Ragusa for a conversation about fear, language, creativity, and the radical act of choosing connection over control. Together, they explore why words matter, how literature preserves humanity, and what it means to tell the stories that history often leaves behind. Holly reflects on her journey as the author of At the End, her work amplifying voices across the literary community, and the belief that courage isn't the absence of fear, it's deciding to move anyway. From discussing survivorship and self-worth to challenging the idea of "busy" as a badge of honor, this episode is a reminder that our greatest power often lies in the smallest acts: listening deeply, loving generously, and rewriting the stories we tell ourselves. If you've ever wondered whether your voice matters, this conversation is your invitation to believe that it does. Because the stories we tell can change the world, but first, they can change us.

In Pursuit of Grounded Power
This week on the Power to Pursue Podcast, Rachel sits down with mindset and movement coach Nadia Murdock for a deeply grounding conversation about what it really means to return to yourself. Together, they explore the power of women gathering intentionally, the importance of community in healing, and how alignment, gratitude, movement, and play can radically shift the way we experience life. From building wellness-centered spaces in New York City to creating transformational retreats in Italy and the Catskills, Nadia shares how her work helps women reconnect to their bodies, expand their capacity, and step into the fullest version of themselves. Rachel and Nadia also dive into motherhood, emotional intelligence, grief, entrepreneurship, self-worth, travel, human design, and the courage it takes to unlearn limiting beliefs. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember: there is more available to you than survival. There is ease. There is joy. There is expansion. And there is a life waiting for you on the other side of choosing yourself. Whether you’re navigating transition, craving deeper connection, or simply trying to believe in your own potential again — this conversation will leave you feeling seen, energized, and inspired to pursue the life that’s calling you.
