The FitZen Project
You’re the woman everyone counts on. So why does the life you work so hard to hold together leave you exhausted—and unable to enjoy it?
Welcome to The Wild Woman Within, the podcast for fiercely independent corporate women ready to recover from burnout and achieve true work-life balance through feminine energy.
If you’re answering emails from the couch, snapping at people you love, and treating rest like something you have to earn, you’re in the right place.
Listen to learn how to:
• Set boundaries before resentment makes the decision for you.
• Receive support without supervising every damn detail.
• Step out of work mode so you can finally be present at home.
I’m Rachel Fitzpatrick—a project executive and yoga teacher helping you stop carrying everything just because you’re capable of it.
Tuesdays, we challenge the cage and dismantle its walls. Thursdays, you practice the audacity to live in your own rhythm.
New episodes drop Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 AM Eastern. Start listening with the trailer.
Previously known as The FitZen Project.

From my great friend, John: Hi Rachel, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you not only for this recent message but for everything you're creating through the Fitzen Project. Your voice, your honesty, and the way you show up so authentically is something really special. Listening to your podcast feels like sitting down with a friend who just gets it. The stories you share, the guests you bring on, and the energy you put into every episode have truly made an impact on me. It's helped me slow down, reflect, and reconnect with parts of myself I didn't even realize I was neglecting. Thank you for following your calling and for building a space that's so full of heart. You're making more of a difference than you probably realize.
