Rachel’s writing perfectly blends vulnerable storytelling with practical guidance, offering a hands-on approach to cultivating abundance in life’s messy and hard moments.

The pages of this book felt like a gentle invitation. Rachel blends her heartfelt stories with practical advice, inviting you to settle into the joy that’s already yours. I’m inspired to look inside the walls of my own home and to refresh my own rhythms rather than looking to “what’s next” or “what’s better” to find the life I love. The better is already mine for the taking, and Rachel showed me that.
