Rooted Exchange
Rooted Exchange is a reflective storytelling podcast for women navigating identity, motherhood, partnership, ambition, healing, and the quiet inner work of becoming. Hosted by communications strategist and mother Rachael Adair, the show creates space for the conversations many women carry privately — the ones that live beneath the roles, expectations, and mental load of everyday life.
Each episode invites listeners into honest, living-room-style dialogue with women, practitioners, and thoughtful advocates who are exploring what it means to live awake in their bodies, relationships, and choices. Through intimate interviews and solo reflections, Rooted Exchange examines topics like reparenting ourselves while raising children, embodiment and mental health, body autonomy, grief and transition, career shifts, partnership, and the invisible labor women perform every day.
This is not a podcast about fixing yourself. It’s a place to name what feels heavy, to set down what you’ve been carrying, and to remember that you are not alone.
Rooted Exchange is rooted in the belief that healing and clarity grow through shared language and mutual care, that when women speak honestly, something opens. Listeners are invited not just to consume stories, but to participate in a growing community grounded in reflection, compassion, and collective support.
Whether you’re in a season of transition, questioning who you’re becoming, or simply craving deeper conversation, Rooted Exchange offers a steady place to pause, listen, and return to yourself.

Rooted Exchange: The Words We Don't Say
What if you didn’t need to have it all figured out to belong?
This is the beginning of Rooted Exchange, not a polished origin story, but a quiet one. Recorded in a lived-in home with laundry humming and toys on the floor, this episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember yourself.
In this opening conversation, Rachael shares the seed of why Rooted Exchange exists: a lifetime of listening, adapting, and learning how to take up just enough space, and the moment motherhood made that impossible to keep doing.
This episode is for anyone in a season of becoming.
For anyone who feels something shifting, even without the words yet.
For those who have carried more than anyone realizes, quietly.
✨ In this episode, we explore:
What happens when you’ve learned to read the room but forgotten how to belong to yourself. How motherhood (and life transitions) don’t create our voice, they reveal it. Why we were never meant to carry everything alone. The power of shared care, shared stories, and being witnessed in our becoming. What it means to come home to the body you live in.
Rooted Exchange is not about self-improvement, performance, or arriving somewhere polished. It’s a space for quiet truths, honest questions, and shared humanity — for remembering who we are beneath the roles we carry.
You don’t need the answers to be here.
This is the village we build through story.
