    Episode 14: When Your Story Doesn't Go According to Plan
    2026/08/04
    • Grief isn't limited to losing a person; we also grieve dreams, timelines, and versions of ourselves that never came to be.
    • Gratitude and grief can coexist. You can love your life and still mourn what never happened.
    • Comparing our real life to an imagined timeline steals joy and keeps us stuck.
    • You can release the timeline without releasing the dream. What you wanted at 25 may not be what you want at 45.
    • Life's hardest detours often become the source of our deepest empathy, strength, and purpose.
    • Honesty about disappointment, paired with a willingness to let it go, opens the door to real peace and joy.

  • Episode 13: Faith, Fear, and the Holistic Healing Journey w/Tara McCarthy from Prakriti Healing

    Episode 13: Faith, Fear, and the Holistic Healing Journey w/Tara McCarthy from Prakriti Healing
    2026/07/28
    Kimberly Rash sits down with her longtime friend Tara McCarthy, founder of Prakriti Healing, for a raw and soul baring conversation about faith, fear, and the sacred work of rebuilding your life from the inside out.Tara opens up about leaving a fifteen year career at a homeless shelter to trust an unexplainable pull toward opening her own healing space, and how that leap of faith turned into four years of steady growth. The two friends trace the winding paths that led them both from traditional religion into a deeper, more personal spirituality, sharing how learning to listen to their bodies, release the fear of what others think, and trust in divine timing has reshaped how they live, work, and show up for the women around them. Along the way they talk candidly about breathwork, energy work, Reiki, and the importance of building a team of trusted practitioners rather than trying to do it all alone.Kimberly and Tara remind listeners that healing rarely follows a straight line, and that every modality, every mentor, and every season of change has its place. Their conversation is a gentle nudge to trust the nudges of your own body and spirit, even when the path looks nothing like you expected.Faith and healingChristian mystic journeyEnergy healingBreathwork trainingReiki certificationBody awareness and boundariesCollaboration over competition among healersReleasing fear and trusting divine timingHolistic wellness businessSpiritual awakeningWomen's healing spaceLetting go of fearListening to your bodyHolistic healing modalitiesTrauma and therapy resourcesWellness entrepreneur journeySpiritual growth and identityHealing collaboration over competitionDivine FeminineMind body spirit connectionMassage therapy and body workLaw of attraction and faithFull circle friendshipFaith and Spiritual GrowthExploring what it means to identify as a Christian mysticHow personal spiritual awakenings can reshape a faith practiceBalancing traditional religion with a deeper, personal relationship with GodHealing Modalities and ToolsThe difference between breathwork and pranayamaHow Reiki and energy work support the body's healing processUnderstanding when to combine massage, breathwork, and energy workIdentity and Self-WorthLetting go of an identity that no longer serves youLearning to trust your body's yes and noReleasing the fear of what others think when making a changeRelationships and CommunityBuilding a referral network of trusted holistic practitionersChoosing collaboration over competition in wellness workHow full circle friendships support long term healingEmotional and Physical HealthRecognizing when a service or practice is draining rather than fulfillingThe connection between nervous system regulation and honest livingHow unresolved trauma can show up in daily life and relationshipsMotherhood and HealingCreating safe, supportive spaces for women rebuilding their livesProviding childcare and housing support so mothers can heal and workPassing down healthy models of faith and community to the next generationKey TakeawaysTrusting an unexplainable pull can lead you to the right opportunity at the right time, as it did when Tara found the building for Prakriti Healing.Spiritual growth often means releasing inherited fear based beliefs and building a more personal relationship with faith.The body gives clear yes and no signals, and learning to trust those signals protects your peace and your purpose.No single healer or modality works for everyone, so building a referral network of trusted practitioners serves clients better than trying to do it all.Letting go of an identity that no longer fits, even one built over many years, opens space for the next season of growth.Healing is a collaborative, full circle process, and the right people often show up exactly when they are needed.Memorable Quotes"Ladies, listen to your bodies.""We're allowed to change, and changing is so hard.""If you can't be happy, if you can't feel relaxed, joy, and have peace, how can you pour that into anybody else?""There are no mistakes, right?""Everyone's journey is just different."Themes ExploredFaith evolution and personal spiritualityEntrepreneurship in the wellness space

  • 012: Put Down What Was Never Yours to Carry

    012: Put Down What Was Never Yours to Carry
    2026/07/21

    Host Kimberly Rash dives into the often invisible weight carried by the caretakers, fixers, and oldest siblings who became responsible long before they should have had to. She shares how being praised as “strong” can quietly turn into a cage that keeps women from admitting they are tired, and why so many learn early that resting and receiving help feel like forms of weakness. Pulling from her own experience raising a large family without a built-in support system, Kimberly walks through the difference between true strength and the exhausting performance of doing it all alone. She talks through love languages, boundaries, and the practice of letting other people bless you without guilt. This episode closes with a gentle challenge to find one thing you can put down this week, one thing you can delegate, and one thing you can finally stop carrying by yourself.

    Faith and Spiritual Growth
    • Learning to receive blessings without guilt or resistance
    • What scripture says about rest and Sabbath for the overextended woman

    Healing Modalities and Tools
    • Using love languages as a healing and communication tool in relationships
    • Therapy, somatic release, and other tools for letting go of chronic overgiving

    Identity and Self-Worth
    • Unlearning the belief that worth is earned through how much you carry
    • Breaking free from the superwoman identity without losing your strength

    Relationships and Community
    • Building a safe support circle so no one has to carry everything alone
    • Setting boundaries with extended family without guilt

    Emotional and Physical Health
    • invisible load mental load
    • boundaries without guilt
    • oldest daughter syndrome
    • superwoman complex
    • faith based self care
    • receiving help gracefully
    • rest is not selfish

    • healing from overgiving
    • setting boundaries with family
    • self-worth beyond productivity
    • Christian women's podcast
    • refilling your own cup
    • support system for moms

    Key Takeaways
    • Many women did not choose the caregiver role, they grew into it or were placed into it as children, becoming the oldest sibling or the one who anticipated everyone's needs.
    • Being called “strong” can quietly become a cage. When everyone sees you as strong, no one asks if you are tired or notices when you are struggling.
    • Needing support is not a weakness. Learning to receive help, gifts, and kindness without guilt is part of breaking the cycle of overgiving.
    • Knowing your own love language, and the love language of those around you, helps you recognize and appreciate the ways people actually try to care for you.
    • Strength is not carrying everything alone. Strength is asking for help, setting boundaries, admitting you are tired, and recognizing that your needs matter too.
    • The healthiest caregivers are the ones who learn to refill their own cup so they can show up from wholeness instead of depletion.

    Memorable Quotes
    • “You were never meant to carry it all. Strength isn’t carrying everything alone. Strength is knowing when to ask for help.”
    • “Somewhere along the way, many women learn that resting was selfish.”
    • “Stop blocking people’s blessing.”
    • “We’re not machines. You’re a human being, you’re a human doing, and you need care.”

  • 011: Outgrowing the Life You Used to Want

    011: Outgrowing the Life You Used to Want
    2026/07/14
    • Growth often feels confusing before it feels empowering, and restlessness can be a sign of expansion rather than something being wrong.
    • Outgrowing people is not about superiority. It happens because comfort with an old version of you can create distance when you change.
    • Releasing identities like the people pleaser, the overachiever, or the go to person is one of the hardest parts of growth.
    • Major life transitions, including parenting shifts and career changes, often trigger a deeper identity search.
    • Setting boundaries protects emotional and physical health, even when it disappoints people who benefited from the old version of you.
    • Judgment toward others who are changing is often more about our own unmet desires than about their choices.
    • Becoming who you are meant to be happens one small decision at a time, not through a single dramatic overhaul.

    Memorable Quotes

    • “Some identities protected us for a season, but eventually they become too heavy to keep wearing.”
    • “Only you can change you. No one else is gonna do it for you.”
    • “Some seasons aren't about finding yourself, they're about allowing yourself to become.”

    010: Breaking Free From Limiting Beliefs
    2026/07/07
    In this raw and honest conversation, Kimberly Rash opens up about surviving a domestic violence marriage, a shocking second marriage, and a childhood shaped by a strict, fear-based religious upbringing. She shares how survival mode convinced her for years that a better life was not possible, and how playing small kept her stuck in unhealthy patterns and relationships. Kimberly walks through the moment she chose to stop settling, the limiting beliefs she had to unlearn, and how she eventually found safe, steady love after years of heartbreak. She encourages listeners to question what they were taught to believe, release relationships and people who no longer serve their growth, and take small, consistent steps toward becoming their future self. This episode is a reminder that your past does not define you, healing is not linear, and your life really can get better from here.

In Episode 008 of Rooted to Rise, Kimm Rash is dismantling the myth that you need to be fully healed before you're allowed to move forward.
