Figuring It Out with Rachel Lee

Words shape us — sometimes more than we realize. In this episode, I’m getting real about the power of what’s been said to us… and what we say to ourselves. From the phrase that changed my life at 13 to the way it shaped my self-worth, relationships, and even how I parented — this one’s personal. But it’s also universal.

This one’s not a full episode — it’s more of a reflection, a pause, a heart-to-heart moment.

The fear that kept me from letting the wrong people in, the moments I second-guessed myself, and the deep pride that comes from realizing I actually did it. “Motherhood solo” doesn’t mean motherhood alone. I had friends,...

In this first episode of Figuring It Out, I share some of my personal journey through loss — the devastation of becoming an orphan, the milestones where grief surprised me all over again, and the way it sho...

I raised two boys completely on my own, never married, never seriously asked. Through grief, resilience, and single motherhood, I had to figure it out. In this trailer, I’...
