The Rockyn YES Podcast - with Dr. Raquel Yarroch
Welcome to Rockyn YES (Your Empowered Self), the podcast for women ready to rise, reclaim their health, and become the most vibrant version of themselves.
Hosted by Dr. Raquel Yarroch, Functional Medicine Practitioner, Chiropractor, and NLP Coach, this show blends the science of root-cause healing with the power of emotional release and subconscious reprogramming.
Each week, you’ll discover how to heal from autoimmune symptoms, fatigue, brain fog, hormonal chaos, and gut issues — by addressing the real reasons your body is out of balance. We explore functional lab testing, detox, nervous system regulation, mindset shifts, and identity work to help you fully embody the woman you’re meant to be.
Because true healing isn’t just about protocols — it’s about who you become when you say YES to your empowered self.
💫 Start your healing journey today — from within.

S.3 E.2 - The "Should" Trap: How High Achievers Lose Their Joy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you driven… but secretly exhausted? Do you hear the voice that says, “I should be doing more,” even when you’re already doing everything? In this episode, Dr. Raquel Yarroch breaks down the “should” trap—why it isn’t motivation, but a nervous system pressure state that steals your joy, clarity, and peace.
You’ll learn the three hidden drivers behind “should” (fear of disappointing others, falling behind, and being judged), how “should” often comes from inherited rules rather than true alignment, and a simple NLP-based rewire tool to shift from pressure to choice: the Should → Choose Switch.
Plus, a quick “Body Check” connection between chronic pressure and how it can show up in your body—tight chest, shallow breathing, gut tension, cravings, sleep disruption, and hormone stress patterns.
✅ In this episode:
- Why “should” isn’t motivation — it’s pressure
- The 3 hidden fears behind “should”
- How to tell if a “should” is aligned or inherited
- The Should → Choose Switch to reclaim your power
- The “Three Shoulds Reset” exercise you can do today
