Flying the Nest... and Getting a Book Deal

In this short and sweet solo episode, I’m catching you up on all the big life shifts that have been happening behind the scenes lately – and why it’s been a little quiet on the podcast!

I share a personal update about making the big move to Scotland (yes, I finally did it!), how it feels to be living in a brand-new chapter, and the emotional rollercoaster of leaving my 18-year-old daughter to live independently – before she technically “flew the nest.” It’s the right thing for both of us, but still… weird. Let’s just say the roles have reversed and the mum’s the one doing the flying this time!

I also open up about my recent creative season – self-publishing Reset Your Mind, jumping into Inspire by Publishing’s 5-day challenge, and the absolute plot twist that followed... spoiler alert: I got offered a book deal. I know! I’ve been quietly processing what this means for me, my coaching brand, and all of you amazing women in my community.

It’s been a season of growth, grounding, and going after big dreams – and now I’m ready to bring the podcast back to life with fresh energy and a whole lot of trailblazing truth.

What I Talk About:

  • ✨ Why I moved to Scotland and how it’s been (honestly!)
  • 🏡 Letting go and supporting my daughter’s independence
  • 📚 Behind the scenes of publishing Reset Your Mind
  • 💥 What happened when I said yes to a book challenge… and got picked for a publishing deal
  • 🔄 Coming back to the mic with a renewed sense of purpose

Takeaway:

Sometimes we go quiet not because we’re lost – but because we’re evolving. Big life transitions often require space, silence, and a whole lot of self-trust. If you're in a season of change, give yourself grace. Your next chapter might be bigger than you imagined.

Authenticity - Your Secret To Manifesting Success

In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between authenticity and manifesting success. We delve into the pivotal role that understanding and embracing your true self plays in attracting the life you've always dreamed of. Inspired by the wisdom of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway," we embrace the idea that growth is accompanied by fear, yet it's through this fear that we find our most authentic selves and unlock our true potential. We've curated a set of 14 thought-provoking questions designed to guide you on a journey of self-discovery. These questions will challenge you to reflect on your deepest values, identify your genuine desires, and recognize the fears and obstacles that may be hindering your path to authenticity. By contemplating these questions, you're taking the first step towards aligning your life with your true self, setting the stage for manifesting success in its most genuine form. This episode is more than just a conversation; it's a call to action. We invite you to embrace your authenticity, to challenge outdated belief systems, and to step into the life you were meant to live. My unique approach to manifesting, shaped by personal experiences of overcoming significant challenges and achieving remarkable successes, offers a fresh perspective distinct from other influencers and teachers. From saving my ex-husband's life to building my dream home and attracting the perfect relationship, I share how coming back to my most authentic self has been the cornerstone of my journey. As a special gift to our listeners, we're offering a free manifesting workbook. This resource is designed to help you apply the principles discussed in today's episode and to further assist you in your journey towards authenticity and success. Head over to rachaellawrence.co.uk to sign up and begin your transformation. Your journey to authenticity and manifesting success starts now. Let's embark on this journey together, embracing our true selves and unlocking the life we're meant to live.
