Start Scared
Start Scared is the podcast for busy mamas who love their kids but feel like they've lost themselves in the chaos of motherhood. If you're ready to rediscover the woman you are outside of “Mom,” even if you're not sure where to begin, this is the place for you.
Together, we'll tackle the lies we tell ourselves, smash through the excuses holding us back, and gain the clarity we need to start showing up for ourselves unapologetically. Because, Mama, you matter—not just as a mom, but as the incredible woman God created you to be.
It’s time to take that first step toward finding yourself again. Are you ready to Start Scared?

205. [INTERVIEW] Postpartum Weight Loss, Managing Stress, and the Future of Wellness with Rachel Sanders
Hey hey, friend! 🎙️
Welcome back to another episode of Start Scared! I am SO pumped for today’s chat because we’re diving into all things wellness, stress, and finding balance with the amazing Rachel Sanders.
Rachel is a total boss—she’s the CEO and Founder of Rootine, a wellness brand focused on personalized supplements and at-home lab testing. She’s also a mom of two, a Harvard MBA grad, and someone who knows firsthand how crazy life can get when you’re juggling all the things. Oh, and she somehow manages to drop practical, science-backed tips to her 105k+ followers while being a podcast host and investor. Talk about goals!
In this episode, Rachel and I get REAL about:
✨ The mental wellness crisis so many of us Millennial and Gen X women are feeling right now (yes, girl, you are NOT alone).
✨ Her journey to losing 52 pounds postpartum while running a company (spoiler: cortisol is a big deal!).
✨ What women 30+ need to know about cortisol—what to test, why it matters, and how it impacts your stress and weight.
✨ Easy, actionable tips to improve your sleep, stress levels, and focus (because we all need more of THAT, am I right?).
✨ The future of wellness—how science and technology are changing the game to help us feel our best.
Rachel shares so many nuggets of wisdom that are easy to understand and even easier to implement. You’re going to leave this conversation feeling empowered and ready to tackle your health goals, no matter how crazy life feels right now.
So grab your coffee, your journal, or just your earbuds and let’s hang out with Rachel!
