This Week's Pulse

Rachel Hollis has shifted her recent The Rachel Hollis Podcast focus toward micro-habits and personal rituals, moving away from high-stakes life coaching toward a philosophy of daily "lightness." In a recent live recording, Rachel Hollis explicitly framed this pivot as a way to prioritize "real life" over rigid structures, noting, "I'm feeling very perimenopausal today, if I'm telling you that."

The current tone of the show is distinctly softer. Rachel Hollis is now positioning her content as a gentle alternative to the intense self-optimization culture she once championed, telling listeners, "These habits are not about becoming a different person. They're about treating who you are more gently."

Beyond habit-tracking, Rachel Hollis is leaning into personal spiritual practices like using palo santo to "call good energy in," emphasizing that her approach is personal rather than dogmatic. She explains, "It's not a religious thing to me. But I genuinely do it because I love the smell."
