    Not updated “bimonthly”
    She briefly resurrected this podcast to drive listeners to her to other other podcast and has since abandoned this one. Nothing to see here, go listen to something else

    She thinks she’s All That
    She thinks she knows it all. She is leaning toward the luminati.

    The content I have needed!
    I’ve been a Rachel Hollis fan since the Chic Site, and I have been doing the start today practice since before it had a name; but my original motivation came from early morning live broadcasts from Rachel’s kitchen. There were so few of us on that she said hello to each of us by name, and then spit fire for 30 minutes. It fired me up and kept me focused on the work I was doing. This podcast is simply a polished version of what she did then, and exactly the content I have been looking for. It’s the coach pep talk I need to keep me focused. Also, I’m loving hearing from Jack! I’m super impressed with how his skills have evolved over the past decade and would love to hear more about the steps he took to develop from just the camera guy to extremely professional editing and production.

    Amazing!!
    I was feeling overwhelmed with owning a business and life! I was comparing myself to another business owner and this was just what I needed to remind myself that we are all at different places in our lives and right where I’m supposed to be! Thanks Rachel!! So good!!
  • Jess3884
    So far not as expected
    I thought this podcast was going I be about goals and progress and motivation. So far just a lot of banter and Rachel rambling about random topics. I thought that’s what the RHP podcast was for. I really want to jump back on with Rachel but this isn’t helping. The brief descriptions do not reflect what’s actually in the episode and that’s misleading as well. (I.e Tony Robbins talked about them venturing there for about 1 minute and no lessons or content to share).

    Thank you Rach!
    This podcast came at the right time! I love how it’s short and direct and really helps me get my mind right. I’m so excited to do the last 90 days again. It’s been a gift during this hard time for me. Thank you!
  • Dr. Mia Chae Reddy
    The Universe brought me here!
    I’m so excited about this podcast! I literally just started my 90-day goals and I’m looking forward to the support. Monday and Friday accountability is parfait! Love Rachel Hollis. Can’t wait for more episodes.

    Scamanda
    Oh man, all I can here when listening (voice and word choice - everything!) is the character Amanda from the podcast Scamanda. Wild. Unfortunately I couldn't get past that in order to listen to the content.

    So excited for Start Today!
    I have been a listener and reader of Rachel Hollis for many years, but I am super excited about the Start Today podcast. I really value more bite size episodes and this one is the newest on my life. Thanks Rachel for giving us the encouragement we need!

    If nothing else LISTEN TO EPISODE 0
    When I say that this visualization exercise changed my life I mean it with zero hyperbole. It shifted everything. In 2019 I did this exercise for the first time with Rach. And team…just…wow. It works. It let me dare to dream beyond the life I knew and was tired of and stuck living. It allowed me to imagine what it would be like to be the woman I always dreamed of being, but with tangible goals and steps. Several completed Start Today journals later (all regular notebooks) and one Priority Planner later ;) I feel closer to that woman every day and have even joined the “stjdreamcatchercommunity”. Go listen. START TODAY.

    It’s back!
    I am so glad to see this show is back. I love the start today concept and gave up soda at least 5 years ago during a last 90 days challenge! It works y’all! Thank you Rachel for all the content you put out into the world… inspiration + action is the key to change and I love having Rachel as a mentor ❤️

    This is what resilience and not giving up looks like!
    As a long hauler with Rach and her ex-husband, Dave, who is no longer with us, it is haunting to see the older, horrible reviews of people too bitter and blind to their own capacity for change. Which is highly ironic honestly, because if they could open their hearts this would help them. As hard as it may be for people to watch others grow, their growth journey is no less beautiful and valid. Rachel has been a quintessential model of what resilience can look like in the face of unexpected obstacles and debilitating trauma, anxiety, depression. I’m happy for her to resurrect this space to share her voice again and plant new flowers to bloom where she grows.

    Human like us
    I’ve loved Rachel through all of her growing pains. Her life is not perfect and she is raw about that. I admire how brave she is and has yet to lose sight of helping people. She’s helped me create some great and healthy habits in my life. Love ya Rach!

    10/10 Do NOT Recommend
    100% total BS. Super annoying this is still out in the world when their marriage has ended ... get this fake inauthentic crap OUT. I can’t believe the audacity to say and do the things they did when their own marriage was in shambles. I’m sorry I even supported them in the first place. Breaks my heart for Dave... he wanted the marriage to work and Rachel gave up. She should’ve taken her own dang advice.
  • Tamza22
    Hypocrisy at Its Finest
    Much of this now divorced couple’s “advice” is regurgitated advice from dozens of books written by Christian authors that say above all, stay together & work through your problems. They created a “brand” that was in no way real.
  • WaveJamr
    Love Rach and Dave
    Lots of bad reviews calling them fake. That’s just unfair garbage! I think they were working through life doing all the things they were hoping to I prove their relationship as a couple rather than just admiration, love, and respect for each. Life and relationships are hard. Choose to appreciate the advice and efforts they gave it all. Unfortunately for their family it didn’t work but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t good advice or a valid effort. Props to both Rach and Dave for being so respectful and loving to one another. Best of wishes as you move separately and hope your family finds peace and happiness. Much love.

    smh
    horrible content and living off of other people money with their lies.
  • i love puppr!
    Dear 1 star reviewers,
    You know what? It’s probably all their marriage advice that has kept them going all these years. I personally am GRATEFUL for the advice Rach and Dave have given me over the time I have been a listener to all of their podcasts, and it is nobody’s place to judge someone just because they are in a rough patch with their family life. Her life now doesn’t make any of her past advice any less perfect and remarkable. Rachel Hollis is still one of my favorite people in the world, and it doesn’t matter to me where she is with her marriage, and it shouldn’t to you.
  • el5792
    I like it!
    😍it is amazing
  • 29645CK
    Shouldn’t have ever been giving marriage advice
    You’ve literally been lying to people. For 3 years. I hope people see through the “authenticity” and quit looking to these two for advice on anything.
  • Ash12748
    Phony
    I used to be an avid fan, thinking this was all real. I feel really sorry for the kids. They tout toxic positivity and it is horrible, especially knowing what we know now. It was all a sham and they were hiding very big secrets, while telling us how a marriage should work. I was an OG follower and I could tell something was off starting a year ago. It seems like Rachel got too big, or there’s something about Dave we don’t really know. It was inauthentic a year ago, and we could all sense it. (After the vow renewal ) sure enough, they’re ending the marriage and now have been radio silent for a month.
  • Kim_gus_rn
    Phony
    So fake. Dave posted they have “wrestled with their marriage for years” when announcing their divorce last week. They were in no place to be handing out marriage device. They acted like everything was a ok to keep making millions off their phony advice. Upset I ever spent money on either of their books and unsubscribed from Both podcasts.
  • NellieNell
    Fake crap
    Rachel Hollis is a fake. She gives marriage/relationship advice and can’t keep her own marriage going. Zero transparency. Inauthentic. Money hungry. Don’t waste your time with anything she puts out there into the universe. You will be duped.
  • sarahchirz
    LOL
    So this is awkward now. Complete sham.
  • Dshendri
    Very enlightening!
    Love knowing that Monday through Friday I can count on them to make me smile, laugh and think deep from this show. Thank you Rach & Dave! And thanks to Dave for always holding it down well while Rachel is away from the mic!
  • Dr.Buggie Grey
    Amazing
    I love to listen to this podcast all the time when doing chores, hanging out or whenever Rachel and Dave rock!!!!!
  • Tris Elaine
    Best podcast ever!

  • HGoobsly
    All day everyday
    Thank you so much for this podcast! I listen doing my workouts because it keeps me motivated, it also helps get me moving in the morning! Rachel and Dave are so fun to listen to and so dang real! And I LOVE it!!
  • TKL<3
    Great lunch time recap
    Due to different time zones, I am already well on my way at work when this goes live and I don’t get enough service at my desk to play it in the background while I work. I look forward to listening to it at lunch to get me out of the mid day blues. Then I often find myself going back and watching the Facebook videos on the weekend! Thank you Rachel and Dave!!
  • not plain jane
    Let”a go

    Love the Energy
    I love the energy that you both bring and how REAL you are! Love the daily inspo!
  • Karrlull
    This is how you start a great day
    I love these two! I love how they just talk about what they want to talk about. They don't try to make this a "thing" and definitely don't take themselves too seriously. The BEST way to start the day with a smile on your face.
  • TTUfan2009
    So fun
    Love y’all! Fun and an easy going podcast. I love that y’all don’t take yourselves too seriously. I laugh every single episode. Thank you!!
  • Ynapoo
    Dave is the Man!
    Monday’s episode was a literal answer to prayers! Going to go write my If/Then statements right now!
  • j_lynn_s
    Fire!
    Today’s episode (12/9/19) is absolute fire. Dave is so fired up from his retreat. He’s sharing the power of if-then statements to chase after dreams and create change. The “then” side of the equation terrifies me, personally, but this episode is straight motivation!
  • sbritton0612
    Life changing!
    Perfect balance of humor, realness and inspiration!
  • Honesty here
    Unfortunate
    It’s unfortunate that this is not authentic for trying to be so authentic- They use the whole second half of the show to answer “questions” that no one asked 😳😳aka read from a script of which sales they need to pitch for that day. So sad. They claim to want to “have impact” AKA everyone spend money so we can maintain a lifestyle where Rachel manages to 1. Not be a parent to her children 2. Fly across the country to get her hair done and buy $1,200 dresses. But remember y’all!! She’s just like us!! 🧐🧐
  • Bacci Girl
    Thank goodness you made this a podcast
    I recently decided to shut off all social because I found I was wasting wayyyy too much time scrolling and comparing. All I could think was well this stinks. No more morning show but BAMMMM it’s still available without all of the crap that is on my feed. Thank you for all you guys do! Your work matters and has changed my life. 💕
