In this special solo episode, Rachel reflects on the biggest lessons from Season 2, why she's ending the season earlier than planned, and what conversations about advocacy, burnout, hope, and rest taught her about redefining success and listening to her body.

When people talk about abortion access, the conversation usually focuses on laws, politics, and court decisions.

But what happens when someone actually needs care?

In this season finale of Working Girl, Rachel sits down with Anna Rupani, the first Executive Director of Fund Texas Choice, the oldest statewide practical support abortion organization in Texas.

Anna shares what it really looks like to help Texans access abortion care in a state where many people must travel hundreds or even thousands of miles to receive treatment. From transportation and lodging to childcare and emotional support, she pulls back the curtain on the hidden barriers that many people never see.

What does climate justice actually look like when it’s happening in your own community?

This week, I’m joined by Ariana Akbari, Executive Director of Climate Justice Texas, an environmental advocacy and conservation education organization based on the petrochemical front lines of Southeast Texas.

This one will shift how you think about climate justice and your role in it.
