In this episode of Reframe Your Life with Rachael, we’re talking about something most people don’t talk about enough in the spiritual space — the wrestle. You know, those moments when everything feels heavy, old patterns start creeping back in, and you wonder if you’re slipping backward.

I’ll share a recent moment from my own life when I felt overwhelmed and doubtful, even though I thought I had been doing everything right. It was in the middle of a simple self-care moment, standing at my bathroom sink, that I had a light bulb realization. I wasn’t backsliding — I was in the middle of my wrestle.

We’ll look at how this wrestle shows up in spiritual traditions across the world. From Jacob wrestling with God, to Buddha facing his fears under the Bodhi tree, to Jesus in the Garden, Arjuna on the battlefield, the Irish legend of Cú Chulainn, and even the internal struggle known as Jihad al-Nafs in Islam — every tradition reminds us that the wrestle is part of the process.

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing great, only to suddenly feel like everything’s falling apart, this episode is for you. You’re not being punished. You’re being prepared. You’re being refined for your next level.

And stay with me until the end because I’ll be closing out with a spiritual mind treatment to help you ground yourself in truth and strength.

Tune in, and remember — the wrestle is a sign that your blessing is right around the corner.
