143. Obedience, Oil & Orlando: The Assignment I Couldn’t Ignore

What's going on, it's your girl, Rachel Luna, and after a tech break that tested everything from my patience to my podcast platform, I’m back — and I’m coming in hot with a message on devotion, surrender, obedience, and legacy.This episode isn’t about business strategy. It’s about what happens when God gives you the green light — and your obedience determines whether or not you walk in the oil. I’m sharing what it’s looked like for me to say yes to an assignment from God — not because it makes “business sense,” but because it’s what God asked. And obedience is the assignment.Why You Should Listen to This Episode:You’ll hear the real reason the podcast went silent — and what God taught me in the pause.I break down the difference between surrender and passivity (this will shift how you hear God’s instructions).I’ll walk you through how to release emotional attachment to outcomes using the All Outcomes Matrix (from Chapter 7 of Permission to Offend).I share a vision I had — complete with oil, arrows, and a dark forest — that made me say yes to the assignment, even when it didn’t make logical sense.You’ll understand why devotion leads to obedience, obedience leads to legacy, and why legacy always demands faith.If you’ve ever wrestled with what it means to follow God when it’s uncomfortable, uncertain, or inconvenient — this episode is for you.Links Mentioned:➡ Join the waitlist for Confidence Activated 2025 (Nov 21–23 in Orlando): rachelluna.com/ca2025 ➡ Want first dibs on VIP, special pricing, and the theme reveal?

Ep. 136: Why Wealth Feels Hard (and How to Make it Easy)

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you work or how much money you make, it never feels like enough? Like wealth is always just out of reach?Oh friend, I’ve been there. And today’s episode is going to change the game for you.Because here’s the truth: your financial reality has way less to do with how much you hustle and way more to do with your nervous system and identity.If that made you roll your eyes, thinking “Ugh, not this again! Just give me a strategy that works!”—I hear you. But let me hit you with some real talk:🛑 A winning strategy in the hands of someone with a dysregulated nervous system is like giving a beautifully organized planner to someone too overwhelmed to open it. Without regulation, even the best money moves feel impossible to execute.And that’s why so many high-achievers struggle. They follow the plan, make the money, and then sabotage the success they thought they wanted.So today, we’re diving deep into:🔥 Why wealth feels hard (and how to shift it)🧠 The 3 biggest subconscious wealth blocks keeping you stuck💸 How your brain, emotions, and even your faith impact your financial reality🙏🏽 The Biblical truth about money that too many Christians get wrong🔑 The practical steps to make wealth feel safe, easy, and normal in your lifeThis isn’t just another mindset pep talk. We’re getting into the neuroscience, the nervous system shifts, and the biblical principles that actually move the needle.And if you’re ready to take this work even deeper, I’m opening the doors to Wired for Wealth—my transformational program designed to help you not just make more money, but hold, steward, and multiply it with ease.Hit play now, and let’s get you free from the patterns keeping you stuck.🔗 Join Wired for Wealth → www.rachelluna.com/wired

134. Checking In on You Following The U.S Presidential Inauguration

In this episode, I acknowledge the heavy and complex nature of the situation, following the inauguration of President Trump, here in the United States. To be clear - this is not a comprehensive political discussion, but rather an attempt to provide strategies and perspectives to help regulate our nervous systems and move forward with purpose.I emphasize the importance of recognizing that we are all energetic beings, and the thoughts and emotions we hold can be contagious. I encourage listeners to replace fearful and anxious thoughts with healing, faith-based perspectives, while acknowledging the validity of their feelings.I then provide three actionable steps to help listeners navigate this challenging time:Breathe - Take deep, intentional breaths to calm the mind and body, and follow the cadence and strategy I mention in the episode.Move - To your ability, release the pent-up emotions and energy, so that it doesn't get stored in the 3 major areas of the body I talk about in this episode.Decide - Reflect on the voice you want to be and the difference you want to make, then act accordingly. Recognize that we all have different roles to play, whether as activists, prayer warriors, or financial supporters.Please know that I love and am grateful for your listenership. Our entire community is in my prayers and I invite us all to move forward with unity, empathy, and a commitment to serving one another during this challenging time.LINKS MENTIONED:Get on the waitlist for Wired for Wealth
