Episode notes
Work In The Gain, Not The Gap
- People often suffer by living in the 'gap' between expectations and reality.
- Rachel recommends measuring the 'gain'—how far you've come from where you started—to stay motivated.
Detach From Outcomes When Creating
- Attach no identity to outcomes and treat creation as planting a seed you can't fully control.
- Focus on being a vessel for the work and let the universe handle the rest.
Write For Your Own Curiosity
- Write the book you want to read, not what you think will be marketable.
- Trust your intuition and original voice rather than chasing trends for success.
