The FitZen Project: Yoga, Mindset & Energy Management for Creators and Conscious Leaders

A couple of weeks ago, I married the love of my life.But this episode isn't really about the wedding.It's about what happened in the weeks leading up to it.Between my son's graduation, teaching at Kentucky Yoga Festival, a surprise incentive trip to the British Virgin Islands, work responsibilities, travel plans, and wedding preparations, I found myself doing what high performers often do: trying to make everything fit through effort, sacrifice, and control.What I didn't realize was that life was teaching me a different lesson.A lesson about receiving.In this solo episode, I share the breakthroughs that happened before I ever walked down the aisle, the unexpected resistance that showed up when things started falling into place, and the powerful realization that wanting something and receiving something are two completely different skills.We explore:Why high achievers often struggle to receive good thingsThe hidden connection between worthiness and effortHow control can keep us from fully experiencing lifeThe difference between manufacturing an outcome and trusting the processThe signs, synchronicities, and moments of presence that made my wedding day unforgettableWhat it means to become available for the life you're asking forIf you've ever felt like you had to earn every good thing that comes your way, this conversation is for you.Because maybe the next level of your life doesn't require more effort.Maybe it requires more availability.Remember: You are your most important project—not because you need fixing, but because the way you lead yourself determines the life you're available to receive.Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.

What if the life you’re meant to live is already inside of you — waiting to be activated?In this powerful conversation, Rachel sits down with executive coach, speaker, and author Randall Thames to explore purpose, identity, leadership, fulfillment, and what it truly means to rise into the role you were created for. Together, they unpack the difference between happiness and fulfillment, the danger of complacency, and why so many people stay stuck on the “lazy river ride” of life instead of stepping into their deeper calling.Randall shares the philosophy behind his book and the In-Spirit Institute, explaining how discovering your gifts, abilities, and purpose can transform not only your career, but your entire life. From executive leadership to entrepreneurship, self-awareness to spiritual alignment, this episode bridges structure and soul in a way that feels both grounding and expansive.Inside this episode:Why fulfillment matters more than external successThe “gap analysis” framework: gifts, abilities, and purposeHow to activate your “super purpose power”Identity vs activity: separating who you are from what you doWhy complacency can quietly become a dragonThe importance of systems, rhythm, and intentional daily practicesUsing AI as “actionable insight” instead of letting it control youThe role of challenge, discomfort, and uncertainty in growthWhy your greatest work may already be trying to emerge from withinThis conversation is an invitation to stop waiting for permission and start trusting the purpose already inside you.Because maybe the goal was never the peak.Maybe the goal was always the journey.Connect with Randall Thames:Website: Inspire InstituteBook: Rise to the RoleAnd if this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s ready to rise into the next version of themselves.Remember:You are your most important project.Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.

What does real performance actually look like as you get older?In this episode of The FitZen Project, Rachel sits down with nationally recognized performance coach, entrepreneur, and founder of the Chris Ryan Fitness app, Chris Ryan, for a conversation that goes far beyond workouts and aesthetics. Together, they unpack the intersection of fitness, leadership, longevity, parenting, entrepreneurship, and the energy it takes to truly show up in life.Chris shares his journey from Division I track athlete to NBC’s STRONG trainer and connected fitness pioneer with MIRROR (lululemon Studio), while also diving into the mindset shifts that separate sustainable health from hustle culture extremes.This conversation explores:Why health directly impacts leadership and executive presenceThe connection between fitness, confidence, and career growthBuilding strength and longevity without obsessive dietingWhy mobility and recovery matter more than most people realizeParenting, presence, and creating healthy family cultureHow successful leaders prioritize themselves without guiltThe role of discipline, consistency, and energy managementWhy “being in the business of yourself” changes everythingChris also opens up about balancing ambition with family life as a husband, father of three, entrepreneur, and coach — proving that high performance doesn’t have to come at the expense of connection.Whether you’re a corporate leader, entrepreneur, parent, athlete, or simply someone trying to feel better in your body and life, this episode is a reminder that your health isn’t separate from your success — it’s carrying it.Connect with Chris:Website: ChrisRyanFitness.comInstagram: @ChrisRyanFitnessIf this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that taking care of themselves is not selfish — it’s leadership.And remember:You are your most important project.Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.

What if the thing keeping you stuck… is everything you keep trying to add?In this powerful conversation, Rachel sits down with author, inventor, Ironman athlete, military veteran, and storyteller Scott Lackey to unpack what it really means to wake up to your life instead of slowly giving pieces of yourself away.This conversation goes deep into self-awareness, identity, resilience, failure, personal reinvention, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes peace comes through subtraction—not addition.Scott shares the story behind his upcoming book Wake Up to Die Again, including the lightning strike moments that changed his life forever—from business success and devastating loss to discovering the difference between ownership vs stewardship, surrender vs control, and external achievement vs internal peace.Together, Rachel and Scott explore:✨ Why authenticity is becoming a survival skill✨ The danger of constantly chasing “the next thing”✨ How failure teaches what success never can✨ The question that changed Scott’s life: What are you willing to sacrifice? ✨ Stewardship vs ownership in business, parenting, relationships, and identity ✨ The two voices in your head—and which one wins ✨ How self-awareness requires radical honesty ✨ Why subtraction may be the fastest path to peace ✨ What it means to “wake up to die again” vs waking up fully aliveThis is one of those conversations that will likely stop you in your tracks and make you ask yourself harder questions.And honestly? That’s the point.If you’ve been feeling stuck, chasing, disconnected, over-performing, or quietly craving something more aligned… this one’s for you.Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.

What if the problem isn’t that you’re broken… but that you’ve been living inside inherited patterns you never consciously chose?In this powerful conversation, I sit down with psychiatrist and author Dr. Meher Chahal, author of Unlicensed Medicine, to explore healing beyond conventional frameworks.We talk about trauma, identity, inherited emotional patterns, nervous system awareness, self-leadership, and the tension so many high-achievers feel when they’ve done everything “right”… yet still feel disconnected.This conversation bridges science and self-awareness, medicine and meaning, structure and something deeper.If you’ve ever questioned why success doesn’t automatically equal peace… this one’s for you.In this episode, we explore:✨ Trauma and inherited emotional programming ✨ Nervous system awareness and healing ✨ Identity, conditioning, and subconscious patterns ✨ The gap between achievement and fulfillment ✨ Conventional psychiatry vs deeper healing conversations ✨ Self-awareness as a path to transformation ✨ What it really means to “come home” to yourselfHealing isn’t linear. Self-leadership isn’t passive. And sometimes the most important medicine isn’t what comes in a prescription bottle.🎙 Love this episode? Subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs this conversation.Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.

Functioning isn’t freedom.That line? It changed everything for me.In this raw solo episode, I’m taking you into one of the most personal frameworks that completely shifted how I see self-leadership, energy management, relationships, motherhood, and radical ownership: The Victim Triangle.And before you tune out thinking, “I’m not a victim…” — stay with me.Because victimhood doesn’t always look like helplessness.Sometimes it looks like: ✨ high performance ✨ over-functioning ✨ rescuing everyone around you ✨ burnout ✨ control issues ✨ perfectionism ✨ harsh self-talk ✨ “if I don’t do it, no one will” energyIn this episode, I’m sharing my real story—from 2018 awareness cracks… to the massive life shift that came with pregnancy, motherhood, leaving an unsafe relationship, rebuilding my life, and finally understanding the patterns that had been quietly running me.We unpack: What the Victim Triangle actually is  Victim energy (powerlessness)  Rescuer energy (over-responsibility)  Persecutor energy (force, criticism, perfectionism)  Why high achievers get trapped here all the time  How motherhood became my mirror  The difference between functioning and actual freedom  How to shift from victim → creator  rescuer → coach/supporter  persecutor → challenger with compassion Journal Questions from this episode: Where am I giving my power away? What am I making someone else responsible for? Where am I over-functioning? What would ownership look like here? What does radical responsibility look like for me? If you’ve ever said: “I’ll fix it.” “Why is this happening to me?” “No one helps me.” “If I don’t do it, no one will.” “I’m my own harshest critic.”This episode is for you.Because self-leadership starts where victimhood ends.If this episode hits, share it with someone you love.And if you’re not already inside my email community, come join us.

Lucy passed.And no—it wasn’t luck.Somewhere along the way, she stopped studying for a test… and started becoming the kind of person who doesn’t miss.This episode is about that shift.Because this isn’t just about passing an exam—it’s about identity. It’s about discipline. It’s about the quiet reps no one sees and the moments no one claps for… that change everything.I’m walking you through two real stories that prove the point: → The transformation of the Centre College Softball Team and what happens when a team decides who they are before they ever step on the field → Lucy’s journey from not knowing PMP terminology… to passing one of the toughest exams in her fieldAnd here’s what both of those stories have in common:It wasn’t talent.It wasn’t luck.It was identity.In this episode, we get into: Why you don’t rise to the occasion—you fall to your identity  How discipline creates self-trust (and why that matters more than confidence)  The role your nervous system plays in performance  Why perfection is actually the thing holding you back  What it really means to be “in the business of yourself” Because when you reach the point where you can honestly say, “There’s nothing more I could have done…”That’s when the outcome doesn’t own you anymore.That’s when you know.Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.

What happens when the life you built… disappears?In this episode of The FitZen Project, I sit down with Scott Proposki—a former White House photographer who built an eight-figure photography business working with brands like HBO, the NFL, Google, and Microsoft……and then watched it all come to a halt during COVID.This conversation goes way deeper than business.We talk about identity loss, starting over at 58, and what it actually feels like when your nervous system is forced into stillness after years of constant motion.Scott shares how he moved through that transition—from chaos and “looking busy” to clarity, leadership, and stepping into his next chapter as a coach helping entrepreneurs and creatives think differently.We get into: The mindset shift required to let go of your old identity Why “staying busy” can actually keep you stuck  How to be your future self now (and why it changes everything)  The difference between selling the outcome vs. the process  Why focus—not more information—is what actually moves your life forward  How to navigate reinvention without spiraling If you’re in a pivot, a pause, or a “what now?” season… this episode will meet you there.Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.

I thought I was celebrating a bachelorette party…what actually happened was a full identity shift.In this episode, I’m sharing what it looked like to come face-to-face with every version of myself—the soft one, the wild one, the one who stayed too long, and the one who finally chose more.And for the first time… I didn’t try to change her.Surrounded by 12 women, I saw myself reflected back in ways that felt raw, powerful, and deeply affirming.This wasn’t just a celebration.This was reclamation.Of my voice.My energy.My standards.My life.We talk about what it really means to stop abandoning yourself—and how that shows up in your relationships, your work, and the quiet decisions you make every day.Because at some point, you realize…you’re not becoming her.You’re finally allowing yourself to be her.Feral. Intentional. And fully you.🔑 WHAT YOU’LL HEAR The moment that shifted everything for me  Why the women in your life are mirrors (not accidents)  The identities we carry: soft, wild, people-pleasing, powerful  What “self-abandonment” actually looks like in real life  How to start choosing yourself without blowing up your whole life  The difference between becoming vs. embodying 0:00 — I thought this was just a bachelorette…  1:15 — The energy in the room  3:30 — Meeting every version of myself  6:45 — The mirror effect  9:30 — What self-abandonment actually looks like  13:00 — The moment everything clicked  15:30 — This wasn’t a bachelorette… this was reclamation  18:30 — Becoming vs. embodying  21:00 — I’m not becoming her… I am her  23:00 — What this means for you  24:30 — Closing: And she’s not done yet Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.

What happens when you remove the labels you’ve carried for years?In this solo episode, Rachel Fitzpatrick reflects on the powerful experience of hosting the Rooted with FitZen Retreat — a weekend centered around self-awareness, authenticity, and remembering who we are beneath the identities we've collected over time.Through yoga, breathwork, deep conversation, and intentional reflection, something unexpected happened: people began to release the labels they thought defined them.“You’re too ambitious.” “You’re too emotional.” “You’re too much.”These stories often become the quiet rules we live by. But what if they were never ours to begin with?Rachel shares the biggest insights from the retreat — including the idea of living with your lid open, allowing curiosity, courage, and growth to replace fear and self-protection.This episode explores how vulnerability in community creates transformation, and why small, intentional spaces like retreats can lead to some of the biggest breakthroughs.If you've ever felt boxed in by expectations, labels, or roles you've outgrown, this conversation will remind you of something powerful:You are allowed to evolve.Key TopicsThe impact of labels and how they quietly shape our identityWhy living with an “open lid” mindset unlocks curiosity and growthThe collective power of vulnerability and shared courageRecognizing and shedding limiting beliefsHow authenticity fuels real personal transformationLotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.

Ever felt like your bank account has more mood swings than you do? Same.In this episode, I sit down with financial powerhouse Jacqueline “Jax” Crider, who’s spent over 20 years helping people find clarity, courage, and confidence with their money — and she’s spilling the real tea on what financial mastery actually looks like (spoiler: it’s less about math, more about mindset).Jax gets beautifully vulnerable about her own journey — from navigating bankruptcy to rebuilding with intention — and shares how awareness, education, and delayed gratification can turn financial chaos into conscious choice.We talk about those sneaky money blocks that hide in childhood stories, the guilt that keeps us small, and the power of owning your financial narrative. Because when you heal your relationship with money… you heal your relationship with yourself.So grab your journal (and maybe your favorite beverage), and get ready for a soul-meets-spreadsheet conversation that’ll make you rethink what wealthy really means.💡 Big TakeawaysFinancial mastery starts with awareness — not a calculator.Money blocks usually trace back to old stories and scarcity conditioning.Bankruptcy can be a reset, not a failure.Intention is everything when it comes to aligned financial choices.Delayed gratification = long-term fulfillment (and freedom).Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Some conversations don’t need polish. They don’t need editing. They simply need space—space for truth, for laughter, for pain, and for the kind of stories that shape who we are.In this episode, Rachel sits down with her dear friend Mike Tomes for a raw, unedited conversation that feels more like a heart-to-heart over coffee than a podcast interview. Mike takes us on a journey from his conservative religious upbringing, through the fear and courage of coming out, to the profound love he found with his partner Sheldon. It’s a story of joy and heartbreak—of planning a dream wedding that radiated love, while carrying the quiet ache of family who chose not to attend.But Mike’s story doesn’t end in loss. It unfolds into resilience, creativity, and a life fully claimed.

 In this episode, I’m opening up about one of the most powerful parts of recovery: forgiveness. Not just forgiving others—but forgiving yourself. So many of us carry shame, guilt, and regret from our past, but here’s the truth: you are not your past. You are allowed to grow, to heal, and to become someone new. This conversation is for every woman who’s ever felt stuck in her story. I’m here to remind you that healing is possible, and forgiveness is the key that unlocks your freedom. Let’s talk about what it means to release, to rise, and to recover—fully. Listen to the Girls Who Recover episode where I share Part 1.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recovering-your-personal-power-how-leaving-toxic-love/id1788356772?i=1000720933772Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.
