This week, Rachel pauses the Italy series to make a soul-level call to the healers, noticers, helpers, and joy starters. In a moment when violent videos flood our feeds and strangers argue like enemies, Rachel asks us to choose a different way: radical love with wise boundaries.

She reads the I’m Changing the Narrative Pledge, and invites us to reclaim civil disagreement and sacred listening. This is not politics; it’s about human dignity and mental health.

If you’re tired but hopeful, grieving but willing, this episode is your bugle call. Print the pledge, make your Mental Health Battle Plan, and step into your assignment as a Joy Starter—right where you are.
