"I feel like everything it feels like this big old thing and it is simple and it's just a matter of institutionalizing it. In the same ways we've institutionalized shitty things. You know, there's a lot of shitty things, like gun rights, those are institutionalized. And it's like, okay, well then how do we institutionalize something we refer to as shift a lot as a community care? You know, how do we institutionalize the folks getting equal access and checking up how we work? And even the labor movement, like the 9 to 5 work hour, that was because people protested and made it happen. So it's like, okay, what's the next iteration of that? Right. It's like, I feel like we make it happen. And I don't know exactly what those baby steps are, but I do know that it's those baby steps that the baby steps of putting something into an institution of putting it on paper, putting it on law that helps us move forward.

"A few months ago, I sent an email. I don't normally reach out to potential podcast guests myself, but this one felt very personal. The email was to Ryan holiday. And I was writing him about his book, the obstacle is the way. The obstacle is the way was hugely helpful for me during one of the hardest periods of my life. And the knowledge that I gained from that book, the perspective I gained from that book, the deep dive into stoic thinking and stoic philosophy and the idea that the biggest challenge you're facing in your life right now is actually the answer to the thing you're trying to figure out. Basically, if you can figure out how to solve the obstacle, you now have a whole new set of tools and resources and muscles and information and all kinds of things you didn't have before. The obstacle is literally the way you become the next great version of yourself. So I love this book, and I sent an email to Ryan, and I was like, I got to have you on the show. We've got to have a conversation. I really want the audience to get to meet you and to hear some of these ideas. And I had the opportunity recently to drive out to Ryan's bookstore and we sat down for a very long conversation. In fact, the conversation was so long that we originally split it into parts. I was going to post one part of our episode and he was going to post the other on his podcast and in fact, if you are coming to this episode as one of Ryan's listeners, you're going to find the continuation of the conversation at about 55 minutes into this chat. But if your micro and you haven't heard any of this before, I'm going to play the episode in its entirety. It's a long, but it's good. We talk about everything. And I think you'll find it fascinating. I hope you'll find it helpful and I hope that it encourages you to go get the book that was so helpful to me. The obstacle is the way. This is the conversation with Ryan holiday. Hi, I'm Rachel Hollis, and this is my podcast.

"Launching a new product and it just totally fails and you're super embarrassed and you're like, well, there goes that business. I guess I'm not going to try for this dream anymore. And you're like, wait, wait, this is what Rachel said, failure is part of that. I'm in a fail and every time you level up, guess what? New places for you to fail. New crevices for you to fall into do things but also not just new failures, but new successes. Because the obstacle is the way. Like Ryan holiday says in his book, like once you get past this thing, you're going to have knowledge and tools and resources that you didn't have before. And I guess the thick skin that I have developed over this time is I feel like I don't know why. But I feel like my creator gave me the ability to talk to you guys with either the ability to speak, the ability to write somehow to communicate in a way that has resonance with other people, I've been given this platform. There's so much opportunity that I have. There's so much privilege that I have. All of these things exist. And I have to believe that's for something. And so I have to keep taking steps forward and faith that there's a reason I'm doing what I'm doing. And I can't really concern myself with whether or not people get it. I can't concern myself with whether or not some people hate it. I can't concern myself with, you know, someone who's like looking for me to mess up 'cause guess what? It's not that hard. I'm sure there's all kinds of ways that I say words funny. I like flubbed my words or I make a mistake or my hair looks whatever or I'm human and I'm flawed and so are you. And if we show up authentically for our dreams, if we show up authentically for our life, of course there's going to be things to scrutinize. And if that's what you obsess over and focus on, then that will become your reality. I think in a lot of ways, I attracted that. I think in a lot of ways, I was so terrified of failing, I was so terrified of getting it wrong. I was so, oh my God, so petrified. By the idea that someone would be mad at me, I genuinely believe I attracted it to my life. Like it was, you know, I've talked about this a ton. You guys have got to listen if you haven't listened to me talk about manifesting in what we pull in, I think I attracted that. And I think that I began to see a shift, not just in my career or success, but also in my enjoyment of this work, when I let go of that. When I focused on who this is for, who this is for, who is this work for? What is this episode? What is today's episode? Who is it for? If you're still here, it was for you. Right? There was a reason I don't know what it was, but I made this for you. And I like to think that we attracted each other. You came into this space and we found each other in this moment in all the millennia. In this moment in the universe, you and I found this instant to hang out with each other. Because I focus on creating work for someone, not creating work, to try and not offend anybody. Somewhere along the lines we stop trying to play to win. And we started to obsess over how not to lose. And that is a recipe for mediocrity. Whatever it is you're trying to do, it's gonna take you aiming really high. And when we aim high, there's more room to fall. There's also more room to fly. So I hope you'll keep going. And I hope this was helpful. All right guys, thanks for hanging out. If you liked this episode, if you're still here, there's a chance you liked it, will you please consider sharing it, share it with a friend, share it with your husband, your sister, maybe you put it on your social media feed if you think it was great. I usually post a real of the episodes, maybe you could share that in your story, whatever you could do to get the word out about the show. I would super appreciate it. I will be back soon with more information until then remember, I love you. And I'm rooting for you. The Rachel Hollis podcast is produced by me. Rachel Hollis.

"We have got to stop this pervasive disgusting idea that we should run ourselves ragged in pursuit of this. Because when you get to the top of the mountain, there's just another mountain. And I'm here, yo, climb the mountain, do all the things, build the build a $1 billion business. But you are going to need strength for the ascent. You're going to need the warrior spirit and that's not going to be available if you have depleted every single part of yourself along the way. If your spirit is exhausted, you don't have to tell me, but you know, as I'm standing here speaking on the stage, there are people in this room who's like, I am freaking exhausted. I'm tired. I'm not sleeping. I'm overwhelmed. Do not buy the myth that that is normal. It's not normal. Everybody gets overwhelmed. Everybody feels anxious sometimes. Everyone feels afraid. But there is a better way to do your life. And you are in control of figuring out what it is. The last thing I'm going to ask you to write down in your journal for later is what can I do? If you go back all the way to the stoics, they taught us this, right? Don't focus on what you can not control. Only focus on what you can. One of my favorite quotes is from Tony Robbins, where focus goes, energy flows. What can you change? Where are the points of tension? What feels hard? What can you make better? You would be shocked at just a little bit of weight coming off your shoulders, making you feel like you can fly. And when you feel like you have that freedom, I swear, I swear. The business explodes. Because you have clarity. And you have access and you have resources and you feel empowered. Yeah? And even if only a little part of this resonated with you, there's some digging deeper that you can do. Your life is supposed to feel good. It's hard sometimes, but it's not supposed to be hard all the time. And you are in control of making it better. And if you figure it out for yourself, you can figure it out for your communities. And your babies, and your sisters, and the people that you love the most. You are in this room because you are a leader. We don't need more fans in this world. We need more leaders. And it is sexy to tell people that if they do this, this and this, they can make so much money. But also, if you do this, this and this, you can make it really good. And you can teach other people how to do the same. I appreciate the time with you guys. Thank you. The Rachel Hollis podcast is produced by me. Rachel Hollis.

"The curious. This is the Rachel Hollis podcast. From the time that I had the idea to the time that I can say I was calling myself a comedian was ten years, but it wasn't like I was trying for ten years. It's just that there was no way of doing it. Yeah. You know, I'm a kid in school and all I knew back then. See, today, you can go online and you can research and find if there's something out there, you can find it. Right. Whereas back then, it's like, you know, we drove to a local comedy club and tried to go in and they're like, no kid, you got to be 21 and over to be in here. And my brother, my brother was like, you're going to see this guy's face one day. I wish I thought was pretty cool. Yeah. But yeah, no, so I was just waiting. I was aging basically. Be old enough. Age into the system. Agent of the system. When I was 17, I got on the school speech team, and that was kind of in the vein where it allowed me to get in front of people. It allowed me to feel comfortable. Just talking and getting over that stage fright. Yeah. April 10th, 1997. Is the date. To be specific. To be specific. Yeah, well, that's when everything first kicked off. I got a chance to put my name basically in a hat at a place and then I was able to go up. And it went very well. I was surprised. It was only like three minutes, but it was just me doing what I did as a kid in high school. You know, I was getting up in front of people and just doing impressions and characters. There was no real joke in there. It was just the fact that I could nail the voices, but everybody was like, oh, that's cool. And so little by little, I just started making those voices do funny things. Right. And so in the beginning, I was very dirty. So I was all my cartoon characters. Everybody was having sex. It was very inappropriate. But it was funny. Right. And so I started building off of that. Got it. What's crazy is that within three months, I was already working on the road. The guy that was booking the bar, was established comedian and stuff like that. He was booking the opening acts on the road at a couple of different comedy clubs. And he's like, hey kid, you know, you got 15 minutes of time on you. You want to go on the road, and I'm like, yeah. And so my first show I was doing Tucson, Arizona. I was opening up for a couple of other comedians. And that was awesome because I was able to do what I did in front of two established comics. And then those two established comics had their own comedy nights. And so it was like back then, it's like, you go out, you do a show, somebody sees you, you exchange numbers. You have conversations. You're social that way. And then from there, you're like, hey, you know, I got a friend who does a thing over here. Well, I got a friend who does a thing over there, and so you would save information and you'd make phone calls and that's how you would, you know, you'd get other gigs. I want to say that that was from the get. Once I quit my day job, which happened in the I'd say about year three. Mid two beginning of three is when I said, you know what? I'm going for it. Yeah. It was a little premature because again, I had a day job, and then I went full blown and let me just try to make this comedy thing work. And I ran out of money so fast. And I got evicted. They were looking for my car. I wound up sleeping at my brother's house and then moving in with my sister. And everyone kept saying, go back and get your job. You're not ready to be a comic yet. And I'm like, no, you gotta go in all the way, or don't do it. Yeah. And so that was that learning right there. That was that like, how bad do you want it? Right. I think I needed that test to see, am I really willing to sacrifice and go for it? And what did that sacrifice look? It was ugly. It was ugly. It was so ugly. Oh my God, I ate so much top ramen. That's a 9 9 cents per special man. Living off, living off whatever they had to offer. I was very lucky that my sister had taken me in and allowed me to chase this dream. Every day she just looked at me and go get it, she'd go, get a real job. Yeah. Come on. But she see me on the phone. You know, I'd be making phone calls and again, you know, you had to be very social. You had to maintain relationships. You couldn't do anything. There was no app back then. There was no, you couldn't go Google stuff. You had to do a set somewhere, have someone record it, but have it put on a VHS tape, then find a location where they could duplicate those VHS tapes, and then research and find comedy clubs, mail those tapes to those clubs, and then call those clubs to make sure they receive the tape, follow up and then see if the person or manager Booker saw it was interested and then, you know, I mean, there were so many steps back then. You had to be your own. You had to be your everything. And so it was like, it was a lot of time on the phone. And like I said, my sister was very patient with me because I ran up a lot of long distance. I didn't have a manager and agent back then that would make all those phone calls and do all that work so that all I had to do was show up and just be funny. Yeah. Yeah. The fact that I had to get to just show up and be funny. Now I get to show up and be funny. Which is great, but I love the fact that I had to learn everything from the get. It's like, you know, if you're working at a restaurant and you start off as a guy that's just taking off the trash, then you're clearing tables and you know, you're moving up until eventually you're running the business. You know, you know, every single position. Yeah. I firmly believe you have to take chances and be willing to fail in order to get to where you want to get. So there was a few years of growing pains, and then of course, you know, money would come in, money would

"Hey guys, welcome to another episode in our mastermind series today. We're talking about one of my favorite things. Such a loser. Nobody should be this nerdy about it, but I don't care because I love the topic. Of goal setting. I will die on this hill, I will talk about this until I go on home to Jesus. How important it is for every single human. To have a goal. I believe a little kid should have goals, I believe. If you're a college student, if you're a daddy, a mama, a doctor or a CEO, you're starting your own business. It doesn't matter what the goal is. I think every single person should be working towards something. Not because the goal is exciting, not because you need to keep achieving or you have to hustle for your worth. But because of who we become on the way to the goal. If you set a goal for yourself, either personally, professionally, financially, whatever your ideal is. Once you set a mark once you create a finish line, once you give yourself a deadline and you're working towards something, all sorts of obstacles and challenges arise that make you into the person you want to be. See, this is where people get goal setting. So twisted. We set a goal and maybe it's something big and lofty, maybe it's something that feels a little bit out of reach, but we're pretty confident we can achieve it. And in my experience, as soon as you set a goal, something happens that knocks you sideways. The washing machine breaks your sister's marriage falls apart, your family has issues you lose your job. Maybe it's a big thing. Maybe it's a little thing, but at least in my life, it seems like every time I call a big shot, I immediately encounter all sorts of things that feel like they're trying to stop me and my forward momentum. And when I was younger, I used to think that those obstacles were assigned that this goal that I had set out for myself that this goal wasn't for me. I was like, oh, this is life. This is God. This is something greater than me trying to tell me that this thing that I'm hoping for isn't supposed to be mine. Because if it was supposed to be mine, it would be easier. What I've actually discovered in 40 years. Is that when we call a shot, the obstacles that show up in our path are actually the exact thing that is required for us to be strong enough. To get to the goal. Like you called your shot, you said you want to get to the top of the mountain. So you're going to find some speed bumps in front of you that force you to get out of your comfort zone that force you to have to get creative that test your tenacity, your resilience, your willingness to stand back up and go again, and every time you overcome one of those speed bumps, you grow a new muscle, you grow a new neuro passage in your brain, you grow skills and tools and have information you didn't have before. So that as you get closer and closer to the goal, you are better able. To achieve it. That's what we're going to talk about today. And I have picked a really eclectic group of people. Like when I first started doing these masterminds, I would choose teachers from past episodes who were most known in that category. And then I realized that's interesting, but what if you heard about goal setting? What have you heard about mindset? What have you heard about finances from people you wouldn't typically expect to be discussing that topic? So today, for goal setting, you're going to hear from comedian Gabriel Iglesias, who talked to us about going from tiny clubs doing stand up for 5 minutes to selling out Dodger Stadium with a Netflix special. You're going to hear from Dave asprey, the founder of bulletproof. You're going to hear from hip hop artists logic. Race car driver Danica Patrick. And every major music award winning songwriter, Tom Douglas. It is a wide group of people bringing different worldviews and perspectives, but my hunch is that one of these teachers is going to say something today that helps you to see goal setting in a way that you haven't before. I hope you enjoyed this episode and I hope it encourages you to set a new goal. Hi, I'm Rachel Hollis, and this is my podcast.

How can you think that you're enough, but also work on yourself? And I always say the desire for me to change and evolve and grow and become better. Is because I love myself so much.

And I do want to answer the other question that I really think is interesting. The team sent me like ten. But I think that the other part of this that is very interesting is which pieces of girl wash your face. Do I still believe? I think it's girl stop apologizing. I write a chapter about, you know, hey, I hope that you guys read this ten years from now and you're like, mama, none of that sounds like you. Like you're completely different person.

"Every single smart technologically savvy person who works in social media has created this to distract you and to keep you engaged for as long as they possibly can. You'll hear Julia say this in the interview. She has written, I can't even remember the number, the amount of books she's written is absolutely bananas. And when people ask her how she can possibly be so prolific. She's like, oh, I don't go on the Internet. And I don't watch TV. And if you don't have access to these things that distract you, you'll get your work done. Number 8 remember that the great creator, loves, creativity. What she's saying here is that God, the universe, source, however you identify. This greater thing than you. Loves creativity. They have to. God could have made one kind of tree. One kind of tree, one kind of flower, one sort of grass, nature is the most creative source ever in existence. It is constantly in a state of creation. And there are millions upon millions of species of everything, there's different kinds of sand. You're telling me that God doesn't delight in creation, she's the ultimate creator. So if you're looking around, you look at the world around you and you see nothing, but this example of creation in action. That purple flower that yellow one, that flower that eats insects. This one with thorns. Every single kind of thing. You have to understand that that source would delight in whatever it is you are trying to create. 9. Remember that it is your job. To do the work, not judge the work. Wow, yes. This is so good. It is your job to do your work, not judge your work. Y'all, I'm writing, it's gotta be. I lose count of how many books I've written because there's a few I've written in the never published. But this has got to be 12, 13, something like that. I still. Still on this latest book. Every line, I'm like, this is garbage. This is a dumpster fire. I have sold. 7 million books, and I still think every line I write is garbage. But I just keep doing the work. 'cause I know that this book, just like every other book, will not be made better on the first pass. When you first write a book, your only goal is to get to the end of the first manuscript. Just get to the end. A book isn't born in a first pass. It's born in the 8th round of edits. But you will never get there if you don't finish it. So your job is to do the work not judge the work. Lastly, it says place this sign in your workplace. Great creator, I will take care of the quantity if you take care of the quality. And Julia talks about that in our conversation. This is one of those rare moments I felt when I was interviewing her because I felt like I am talking to one of the wise women. In our culture. And her generation is getting older and we would run the risk that these lessons would sort of be lost. And that you'd have a kind of new generation of people who might be really good at putting the content out, but have nothing to back it up. This woman is not just talking about how to work. She's talking about how to live. And I hope you enjoy this conversation. As much as I did. Ladies and gentlemen. Julia Cameron. Hi, I'm Rachel Hollis, and this is my podcast. I spend so many hours of every single week reading and listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos and trying to find out as much as I can about the world around me. And that's what we do on this show. We talk about everything. Life and how to be an entrepreneur. What happened to dinosaurs? What's the best recipe for fried chicken? What's the best plan for intermittent fasting? What's going on with our inner child? How's therapy working out for you? Whatever it is, my guess are into, I want to unpack it so that we can all understand. These are conversations. This is information for the curious. This is the Rachel Hollis podcast.

"Yourself right now as you go into the rest of this year is the action that you're taking is the emotion that you're bringing it to it or does it need to be a combination of both of those things consistent action high vibration exponential results. That was a big one for me to unpack in. Why things weren't progressing. The way that i wanted them to and another one that i just wanna make sure i say is what works as you look back on the last six months. What has worked for you. What feels really good. You need to pursue more of what you need to pour gasoline on because it's going really well like what are the things that you can really lean into because they are giving you those great feelings and fact as i did my mid year check in i ro. What are the things that make me feel like. I am vibrating at the highest levels. Like just no judgement of myself like what things they make me real feel really good and i'm so glad that i had that lists you know in the past. I've talked a lot about having a joy list. And i still believe that. That's great but i love the idea of like what raises my vibration. We've ever seen you know there's like all those like cute sayings raise your vibration or your vibe attracts your tribe or i was thinking today. If no one's done this yet there should be a line. That's your vibe attracts. Your thrive like whatever vibration has completely intertwined with how much you're thriving in the world around you and what i like about this idea. If you've read much about the law of attraction or if you have read about the power of gratitude practice is that you just need your regular everyday life to find ways to raise your vibration your just finding a way to have more appreciation for what you have right now today that you are operating and living your life from a place of abundance instead of a place of scarcity so one last thought as you are sort of doing this review and then heading into the next six months i just wanted to tell you guys that when i lay out goals for myself. They're always in three categories. And maybe this will look different based on your personality type or what you do every single day but the three areas that i set goals for myself are creatively so ask myself what do i want to create. And that could be a book. I wanna rye or something you know in the past. It's been like oh. I wanted when i wanted to launch your favorite podcast or when i like had an idea for something i wanted to create so i always have a creative goal and sometimes more than one i always have a professional goal and that because i own a business that goal is always wrapped up in the business so in the past it's been revenue numbers or maybe a certain place i want to get to with my podcast listenership or my email subscribers or whatever But i always have creative goal professional goal and then a personal goal and usually in the in in any of these categories that can have more than one depending some of them are really lofty and then some of them are a bit more low hanging fruit and a usually have the most when it comes to personal goal so those will be things like be closer with the kids or i want to help them transition through you know my own is going to high school this year or like. I'll set personal goals like that just to remind myself of what i want. Wanna be with my family as a mama as a partner as a friend. I'm so those are the three categories that i out goals in. I do the semi journal. So that i can go back and review so i'm essentially reviewing all the time and just asking myself like okay is still how i want to be. Do i need to bring down that revenue number. Or do i need to push myself harder. Creatively or just who is it that i want to be as i enter the last half of this year and that is how i do amid your chicken. It takes as long as you need to take for me. It's usually like an hour hour and a half. It's not a super long thing. Because i just like to kind of geek out and imagine envision dream on who i want to be in how i wanna show up but everything always comes back to. How do i wanna feel. How do i wanna feel how to wanna feel now. Just what do i want to do that. Don't wanna feel as i go through this life and navigate these things. So that is my achiever meets hippie way of Pursuing the last six months of the year. And i really hope that you guys found it helpful. If you are listening to this podcast please subscribe some of your listening every week and and haven't subscribed yet would really appreciate it if you did. It just means you'll notification there on your phone every time we post a new episode and if you found this helpful kasha really appreciate if you would just take a quick screen. Screenshot posted on social or Send it to a friend you think it would be helpful for just a senate right along. That would be so great and yeah. That was my nerdy conversation. Obviously since i went almost an hour you can tell that the something really loved to talk about. I hope you guys found helpful. I will be back next week with another episode. And until then.

"Now to get started this policy genius when it comes to insurance, it's nice and very important to get it right already, so Meanwhile, Rachel Hollis has now come under fire. Rachel Hollis is the creator of a self improvement company called Rise, I guess, and she was scheduled to begin this conference for women in Austin, Texas. 50,000 people log in for virtual event, But then apparently they canceled the conference. Why? Well, she posted a video on Tic Tac. And apparently, this was a very jarring and troubling video. We'll show you the video, and then we'll explain why people are ticked off about here is Rachel Hollis. Yesterday, I was doing a live stream and I mentioned that there's a sweet woman who comes to my house twice a week and planes. She's my my house cleaner. She cleans the toilets, Someone commented and said, You are privileged, A F And I was like, you're right. I'm super freaking privilege but also Work my toe have the money to have someone come twice a week and cleaned my toilets. And I told her that and then she said, Well, your unrelated ble. Oh, What is it about me? That made you think I want to be relatable? Okay, so she got all sorts of life is now I may not like her sort of affect in the way that she speaks. I don't know her stuff. I will say that the notion that she said something wrong by suggesting that she hires a person to come and clean her house and clean the toilets like that's a job. There's nothing my house and cleaned my toilets like That's what you aspire to be able to do so you don't have to do that yourself. I'm frankly confused as to why this is so all fired offensive, but apparently it's super offensive trending on Twitter. New York Times is an entire piece called Girl Wash Your timeline. World washers, because apparently it's really bad to point out that some people pay for cleaning ladies. Now I've noticed that people pay for cleaning people to come to their house businesses do this all the time. In fact, it's an entire line of work. People have nannies. It's a free market economy, and one of the beautiful things is you can pay people to do things You don't want to do yourself and it's good for you. And it's good for the person you're paying. Who is now receiving your money, But apparently this is really bad. Online critics began to examine this house's words gestures in history. It's a prudent zapper Terry in detail like Zapruder, according to New York Times reducing in domestic workers, someone who cleans the toilet, said Louise into ran an anti racism and anti oppression Educator, which means professional, useless person. Said. This is the most disgusting, capitalistic, privileged flex. That was so quick, but it says so much about she how she is a human being views the proper power, dynamic and social hierarchy. Wait, what she said She worked hard so she could afford to pay somebody to do something shouldn't want Tokyo. So why is that problem? Exactly? You pay people to do things You don't wanna do all the time. You do not feel like going out to a field in farming. So you pay a supermarket. To sell you, a tomato, which was grown by somebody. The supermarket by the tomato from This is how the market works, saying you pay somebody to clean your toilet is not degrading to the person who cleans your toilet. Anybody who suggest that it is or that it means that you're bad Capitalism's bad. Yeah, I'm sure that the lady who's the cleaning person here, I'm sure she'd be much better off of ritual house did not pay her and then you're unemployed. Baseline anger that some people pay other people to do jobs they don't want to do. It's so palpable on the left. But here's the thing. All those same people are constantly paying people to do things they don't want to do. It's ridiculous. Ms Hollis issued an apology. Of course you shouldn't have, she said. I know I've disappointed so many people myself included. I take full accountability about 100,000 Instagram followers have dropped her How is canceling upcoming personal development Seminar on YouTube? She's she's not been abruptly disavowed online by a bunch of people. It's just so terrible. How could how could she? How could she say that she paid somebody to clean our toilets? Just terrible. Honestly, if you hate free markets enough, and you hate domestic workers enough that pointing out the domestic workers clean your toilets is an insult to them. You would hope presumably, they don't get paid. I don't know to tell you There's nothing inherently dishonorable about doing dirty jobs. People do it all the time for money, and it is good that they do. I clean my baby's crap offer, but on a routine basis That's not the grading that's called being a dad. If I mentioned that that doesn't mean I'm degrading my work in doing that. Apparently Rachel houses not supposed to mention that she's supposed to look like what we would have better said. I pay somebody to clean my floors. Probably not. According to according to a wide variety of her employees, she's bad. A woman who worked for Hollis said. Quote the whole world is going through Social justice movement, and we're supposed to exist to provide guidance for community about 100, Prove yourself and meet the moment. So many of us wanted to trump for the community. They said this because Hollis didn't post enough things about the George Floyd death. This is all just ridiculous crap. I'm sorry. It's just ridiculous. You should not be ashamed of trying to earn more money so that you can pay people to do things you don't want to do. You should not be ashamed of trying to better yourself. You should not be ashamed of trying to rise economically, and you should not be ashamed of paying somebody to do that, because that person is better off than if you weren't paying them to do it. Now we're going to shame free market transactions. It's just Ridiculous And here's what it really comes down to. One critic Vivian Key, the owner of Kinky, Curly Jackie, a company that sells textured hair extensions for black women, she said, quote I should pull myself up by my bootstraps do not know the system is rigged against me. That's not feminism. That's putting lipstick on the patriarchy. In the end. That's what so many of Rachel houses critics are upset about. She says. You can better yourself you can make yourself better. I've done it and I want you to do it, too. That's enough to pick his people off these days, because if you say you want to take personal responsibility that you want to make your own life better. This denies the evils of the system. And so you're complicit in the evils of the system better you should be miserable. And and you yell about the system all the time. Apparently already coming up.

Skimm'd from The Couch
Interview With Rachel Hollis, motivational speaker And author
"Hey everyone welcome to a special live episode of skimmed from the couch. I am so excited to be back from matt. Leave for this recording. It's been a huge week and we are thrilled to have a virtual audience joining us today for our conversation with rachel. Hollis rachel is a bestselling author podcast host and motivational speaker. You know her as the author of the hit book girl. Wash your face and her latest book. Didn't see that coming just came out last. Fall rachel you for joining us. Welcome to skip from the couch. Oh thank you guys so much for having me. We're gonna start with our first question. Let's have you skin your resume. What are the highlights. So my first job out of high school. I didn't go to college. My first job out of high school was actually miramax films. So back in the day when miramax was making good will hunting and emma and That was a bit of a trial by fire as you might suppose. I sort of hopped around production companies after that working as an assistant and then a coordinator and in the midst of that working in la and working in the entertainment industry was an incredible lesson on some levels and also pretty toxic environment on the other. And so i started to dream about what it would like to start my own company and be my own boss and after having a really crappy boss. I quit on a friday and started my company. Monday morning and back then. I was an event planner. So i had gotten my experience doing movie. Premieres press junkets. And i started to do those for brides and people having bought mitzvahs and someone's fiftieth birthday party. And i solely built that company up into what would become a high end luxury event business and it was really fun and it really fed my creative passion of designing spaces and the thrill of putting an event together and i started to get a bit restless and begin again to dream of something more. I started a blog back in two thousand eight which was sort of the heyday to have a blog and slowly than built that into a media company. So back then we wouldn't have used. We wouldn't have known things advertising or Putting things into your blog posts or talking about a certain product. But i started to kind of finagle my way and realized that there was a business there and that gave birth to the media. Company that i now owned today and i like to say you know my my job hasn't changed that much over the years. I have always just been trying to communicate with women in my community and my company and the things that i teach have evolved as i have evolved as a woman so i started writing a blog than i began writing books. Then i began writing about my life and all of that led to the things i've known for today which is speaking and writing and podcasts. Obviously as you just said so much of your life is out of the public on social media. What is something that we can't google about you that you haven't posted on instagram. That you see on my gosh so many things. Well okay. i'll tell you guys. I have not said this publicly but i'm really excited. I just finished my first screenplay. Congratulations thank you thank you. I literally cried when i wrote the last words. Because it's something. I dreamed about writing for a long time and as a writing is my creative outlet and started as an author in fiction and then somehow fell into nonfiction and kind of advice. And it's always been a dream to write a screenplay because i want to challenge myself a new medium so that was a big deal to finish. Who knows what will happen. And honestly i don't even care. I'm just proud of myself for finishing. Is it adapted from your books or is now really totally new idea. Yeah totally new idea. That's so exciting. Great way to start off the year. So i wanna We're going to go back into to how you grew. Up and tire stories started to evolve. We mentioned in our intro. The title of your book didn't see that coming. Your own story started with a tragedy that obviously you and your family did not see coming which was losing your brother to suicide and that loss is such an enormous part of your story in one start first of all despite using so sorry for your loss in also by asking if you could share with our audience just how that experience shaped you at such an earlier age and really shaped your resilience. Yes so When i was fourteen years old my older brother ryan committed suicide. He had struggled with mental illness for a kind of as long as i can remember was when i was little. I didn't really understand that. That's what was happening. But as i can look back as an adult. I understand it from totally different perspectives. I was fourteen. And i think that losing him in in that way would have been awful and traumatic no matter what but what sort of added so much more gravity to the situation was that i found him so i had not just the loss but also the ptsd of of that day in the morning and going through those things and wife shattering. I mean my family. My i think that my parents did the best that they could with the skills and the tools that they had but they didn't have a lot of skills and tools so it was already a hard childhood and this was sort of the thing that shattered Everything that was and trying to learn to deal with that. When i didn't have parents who knew how to help how to advise or to ask me questions or hey. This is who we should talk to. That just wasn't a resource that existed in my life so it was really hard to say the least

How to FINALLY Write That Book!
"Hi. I'm Rachel Hollis and this is my podcast I spend so many hours of every single week reading and listening to podcast and watching youtube videos and trying to find out as much as I can about the world around me, and that's what we do on this show we talk about everything life and how to be an entrepreneur what happened to dinosaurs? What's the best recipe for fried, chicken, what's the best plan for intermittent fasting? What's going on with our inner child house therapy working out for you whatever it is my guests are into I want to unpack so that we can all stand. These are conversations. This is information for the curious. This is the Rachel Hollis podcast. So. I will start off by saying I. Not a trained professional I. AM someone who has achieved a great amount of success in this particular field but I just want you to keep in mind that this is learned. This is like on the job learning. This is not something that I learned officially in school. So I am not going to advise you on grammar or or any of that I'm just going to give you nuts and bolts where to begin and where I suggest you begin is with word count now. Maybe right now you're like wait don't start with a character don't I start with yes. Of course you do but I can't help you figure out what you're supposed to write about. Those of us who are dreamers for those of us who want to be authors for those of us who are writers coming up with ideas was never the problem, right? Like it's not a problem what you want to say it's a problem trying to figure out how to get it down or how to get as much of it down as you need. So I am assuming that you already have a vision for what it is you want to write about. and. Then you're next very practical goal is what is the word count now that is something I never heard of until I actually started writing for real and what I will tell you if you're not familiar with this, is that every genre so if you're writing nonfiction if you're writing a cookbook, if you're writing a children's book or fiction anything that you are writing has an industry standard for what the word count is. Something like my cookbooks have a pretty low word count let's say I don't know thirty five. Thousand words because there are so many pictures in it my fiction books, the Word Count was ninety thousand words my nonfiction sixty, five, thousand. So the reason that you need to start with word count is that you need to know what you were going to have to turn in to a publisher or agent in order to be considered legit. So super practical piece of advice is understand what is the word count you are aiming for, and I can't tell you how many times acquaintances reach out to me because they WANNA. They WanNa right there I booker they're excited to star and they're like. Writing Nonfiction and they're like I am so excited I have written two, hundred, thousand words I mean it is just pouring out of me. I cannot wait for the world to see what this is and I'm just like, oh no. I for sure not going to be the one to tell them that. Nobody wants to read a first time author writing nonfiction turning in two hundred, thousand words nobody and right now you're like, no no. But nope, you gotTa Trim that down my friend or some of you are really excited and you wrote a fiction book and. It's fifteen thousand words. It's nowhere near Ninety, and in that instance, maybe you're creating novella or maybe you're creating a short story and all of this presupposes that you are wanting a book by traditional publishing means I guess I should have started their. If your plan is to self publish girl, you write whatever you wanNA write you write a nonfiction book that's three hundred thousand words. You write a fiction book that's one hundred words you get to do you. But if you wanna go the traditional route, then you need to play by some of their roles especially when you're first starting.
