  <description><![CDATA[<p>The Expansion Collective is for women who want to live life with more intention, fulfilment and a little more curiosity about what’s possible.</p><p>Hosted by Rachel and Sarah, two friends and business partners navigating the same lives as everyone else, we have honest conversations about the things that shape how we feel and how we live - from confidence, wellbeing, careers and money to our habits, our environment and what we want for the future.</p><p>There’s no preaching and certainly no perfection, just open-minded conversations, practical ideas, thoughtful questions and small actions that can help you get clearer on what you want.</p><p>Because meaningful change doesn’t have to mean changing everything, sometimes it simply starts with noticing what matters and taking one small step from there.</p>]]></description>

    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[What happens when you start paying attention to the things you keep thinking “one day…” about?  In this episode, we share the very different experiences that first opened up our thinking about what we wanted from life, from friendship and yoga to grief, books, spirituality and self-development.  We talk about asking yourself bigger questions, why curiosity can get knocked out of us as we get older and how change doesn’t always have to mean turning your life upside down.
