From the Heart with Rachel Brathen
We Were Never Meant To Do This Alone
In today’s episode, Rachel is fresh off hosting her first-ever retreat in her hometown in Sweden — 58 people from all over the world who came together for a week of yoga, hiking, sauna, campfires, and deep sharing. It felt like a full circle moment: welcoming people into the exact place that shaped her, and stepping fully into what she feels she’s truly meant to do. Underneath all the beautiful moments, one thing kept surfacing again and again — the reminder that none of us are meant to carry things alone. Community isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s medicine. Whether you’ve been on a retreat or not, this episode will remind you of the people around you, and nudge you to lean into connection instead of isolation. If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing it all solo, this one’s for you.
