Racheli White: Summer Bucket Lists and Big Life Shifts
Thursday, 14 August, 2025

Recorded back in May before the war with Iran**In this episode, I chat with my dear friend Racheli about self-growth. We start off talking about how she grew into herself, how we became friends, and comparing the version she was to the person she is now. We get into moving to Israel during corona times, transitioning from her introvert era to her adventurous era, and babbling about summer plans, sewing mitpachats, diabetes summaries, and all the unique Racheli things that make her who she is. We talk summer bucket lists, the challenge of letting go of control, making meaning out of ritual and what brings joy even if you don’t love the source of the tradition. There’s a political tangent about what it feels like to live through conflict and how we each deal with it in our own way.(0:00 – 6:52) Intro and chit chat(6:52 – 12:00) What did Racheli learn about herself before she moved?(12:00 – 16:30) Summer plans babble(16:30 – 30:00) Reflections on living through a war in Israel(36:00 – end) Growth in her 20s and making meaning out of rituals
