Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 97! Today, we’re talking about the three steps you can take to being a better employee. Now, even if you own your own business like me, you’re still an employee-- of yourself! And as the leader, it’s your job to win employee of the month every month-- metaphorically of course.
Read MoreWe’ve visited three types of parks on our full-time travel tour of the US: national parks, playgrounds, and finally… a state park!
Read MoreValley of Fire Nevada State Park looks like a melted creamsicle popsicle, with rust sandstone outcroppings amongst a grey and tan limestone backdrop. It is remote and stunning.
Read MoreBrian Zimmerman is on the podcast, y'all! I typically keep my work and home life separate, but we’re looking back at when I invited my husband Brian to join me on my monthly Questions with Rachel episode of Zimmerman Podcast.

Read MoreI know what you’re thinking… Las Vegas isn’t exactly known as THE premier kid-friendly destination, but we had the best time.

Read MoreEven before we starting full-time traveling, my kids were always on the hunt for a beach day. Keep in mind we lived in rural Arkansas. Beaches were not easy to find. You might not think our luck would have been much better… in Arizona… in the dead of winter. That’s where Lake Powell comes in.
Read MoreAll it takes is a quick Google image search to figure out why Page, Arizona was on our list of must-see cities in Arizona! And really, no photo really does this place justice. When we visited, it was winter time, so we didn’t get to rent a boat and go on the lake, but if we come back for warmer weather sometime, we definitely will! When you visit Page, it isn’t for cool downtown shops or great restaurants, it’s for the natural beauty all around.
Because of that, we went to the grocery story, ate in the Airstream, or packed picnics for our stay in Page.
Read MorePop some bottles because we’re looking back at my interview with Tawnya Falkner of Le Grand Courtage. Tawnya is the brilliant mind and creative force behind the sparkling wine brand featured in Forbes, Today, and Martha Stewart.
Tawnya is such a thoughtful business owner, who shares about how she built her brand while focusing on the importance of annual planning. In both Tawnya’s and my industries, some of the most creative people we know fail in executing incredible ideas because they don't know how to plan well.
