In this episode from the vault, Rachel challenges us to stop waiting for "someday" and start living with full authenticity today. She shares what it means to be nostalgic for the present moment, to embrace our imperfections while staying in a state of healing, and to show up boldly—even when it’s messy.  You'll hear the behind-the-scenes of building her movement, launching her mastermind, and learning how to play her “weird flute music” in a world that desperately needs realness. Plus, she opens up about the importance of personal safety, especially for young women, and reminds us all to stay hungry—not just for success, but for purpose.  IMPORTANT RESOURCES: EARLY BIRD Registration for the I’m Changing the Narrative Retreat - February 20-22, 2026 in Amelia Island, Florida: https://www.rachelbaribeau.com/ictn-retreat DONATE TO I’M CHANGING THE NARRATIVE  in honor of Rachel’s Birthday:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ctnfoundation Links and Resources: NEVER MET A HAPPY BULLY: Bullying isn’t just a childhood issue—it impacts schools, workplaces, and communities.
