Hey! Rachel and Shirah here—welcome to our Zoom Out Podcast!
We’re two friends having honest, vulnerable conversations about life, healing, and all the messy, beautiful parts of being human. We don’t have all the answers—just a desire to see life from a wider lens. So if you’ve ever felt there’s a bigger picture you’re missing, you’re not alone.
Let’s zoom out, together.
It’s been a minute! In this episode, we’re hitting the pause button on our usual topics to just sit down, catch up, and talk about life lately. Grab a coffee or a drink and hang out with us as we share what we’ve been up to, the chaos we’ve navigated, and everything in between. It feels good to be back—let’s chat!

Episode 17: The One Where We Turn Ourselves Inside Out
We explore the idea that inside each of us are different versions of ourselves — like emotions sitting around a table, each waiting for a turn to speak. Sadness. Anger. Happiness. Instead of silencing them, we imagine allowing each one to rant from its own point of view. What is Sadness trying to protect? What is Anger trying to defend? What is Joy trying to preserve?
When we let every emotion have a voice, we give ourselves permission to actually feel — and in feeling, we release.

Episode 14: The One Where We Surpass Our Limitations
This episode is about how powerful your mind is — and how fear can either hold you back or set you free.

Episode 12: The One Where We Stop People Pleasing feat. Esti
With a special guest speaker, we explore how people-pleasing stems from unworthiness and self-abandonment. Through a personal story, we reflect on choosing not to overgive when drained — remembering that both people deserve 100%. Saying no allows us to show up fully and authentically.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to date intentionally.

Episode 9: The One Where We Analyze Toxic Relationships
In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between transactional relationships and transformative ones. We explore how to recognize red flags, what it really means to “ignore the signs,” and how both people can unknowingly feed into toxic dynamics. Is a relationship toxic because of one person’s traits — or because both people enable the pattern?
