The Create Yourself Podcast
For women starting again after divorce or separation who know there’s more for them in this one precious life, but feel scared, stuck or unsure where to begin.
I’m Rach Thomas, an ICF certified coach and guided visualisation practitioner. In my late 30s my relationship ended, my career was gone and I had a toddler. I imagined my way into a new life before I had any proof it was possible.
Each week I share honest conversations about backing yourself after a relationship ends, the beliefs that keep you small, and how imagination opens the doors logic keeps shut. Because it’s not about finding more courage. That comes after you see the life you want.
New episodes every Wednesday. Start with my free guided visualisation at createyourself.co.nz.

If you don't jump, you get pushed.

Curate your feed, curate yourself.

Pivots, piercings and living without regret.

You don't have to hit rock bottom.
