Choosing Love Over Fear: Rachel’s Breast Cancer Story

This week on Boldi(ish) I sit down with the incredible Rachel Starratt, a woman who walked through one of the hardest years of her life and came out the other side with strength, clarity, and an unshakeable sense of self. Just weeks after her husband asked for a divorce, Rachel received a breast cancer diagnosis. A working mom of two young boys, she suddenly found herself navigating heartbreak, treatment, and rebuilding her identity all at once. But instead of breaking her, this year stretched her, shaped her, and revealed what truly mattered most. In this powerful conversation, Rachel shares: ✨ The moment everything changed—and how she found her footing again ✨ What cancer taught her about slowing down, listening to her body, and choosing herself ✨ The surprising ways her community showed up when she needed them most ✨ How she learned to love the body that fought for her ✨ Why she picked up a surfboard (yes, surfing!) and discovered joy in a brand-new way ✨ What it really looks like to prioritize healing while raising two little boys Rachel’s story is raw, hopeful, and full of the kind of wisdom you only learn by walking through fire. This episode is for anyone who’s ever faced a season they didn’t ask for and is searching for a reminder that strength is already inside you. Tune in and let Rachel’s courage inspire your own.   Connect with Rachel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-starratt-95844718/

3 Questions That Help You Step Into Your Boldest Version Yet

Welcome to the first episode of Boldish! Today we’re breaking down the Odyssey Plan, a powerful clarity tool for anyone navigating career pivots, life transitions, or the “what’s next?” moment. You’ll learn how to build three possible paths for your future, evaluate them honestly, and use the insights to move forward with confidence and bold intention. If you’re feeling pulled toward change but aren’t sure where to start, this episode will help you uncover what’s possible, what’s aligned, and what’s next. THE 3 ODYSSEY PLAN QUESTIONS 1. WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE IF YOU CONTINUED ON YOUR CURRENT PATH? Describe your next five years if nothing major changes — same career direction, same routines, same trajectory. What does that version of your life look and feel like? 2. WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE IF YOUR CURRENT PATH WAS NO LONGER AN OPTION? If your job disappeared tomorrow or you had to choose something entirely different, what path would you take? What does that five-year future look like? 3. WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE IF NOTHING WERE OFF THE TABLE? If fear, money, time, and expectations weren’t limiting you — what is the bold, dream-filled five-year vision you would choose? What excites you, scares you (in a good way), and feels expansive?   If this episode sparks something in you, subscribe to Boldish and share it with someone who’s also ready for their next bold move.
