In this episode of Ask Rach, Rachel Hollis answers two powerful listener questions that, while different on the surface, share a common theme: what do you do when life doesn’t line up with your dreams? One caller is battling the discouragement of a tough job market, struggling to land any role at all. Another is a young woman trying to pursue creativity while navigating the challenges of a troubled home environment.

Rachel explores the overlap between these situations — resilience, resourcefulness, and finding momentum even when circumstances feel stacked against you. With practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement, she reminds listeners that beginnings don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between survival and dreaming, this episode offers both perspective and tactical tools to help you keep moving forward.
