On Tea and Intuition with Rachel Allan
She ignored this guidance for a couple of years, but after finding herself sobbing on the floor with a broken heart, she asked herself what she would most regret in her life if she died today. The answer was not what she expected…. the 40 for Tea podcast.
So as the world went into lockdown, Rachel began this quest of having forty cups of tea and forty conversations with extraordinary humans from around the world.
In the episode, you’ll hear Rachel and I talk about intuition, including how to cultivate it and gather the courage to follow it, as well as the intention and essence behind the 40 for Tea podcast and the key pieces of wisdom that came out of these forty profound conversations.
Beyond the podcast, Rachel is a certified Professional Certified Coach (PCC), specializing in life and leadership innovation and executive coaching. Her work centers on deep listening, presence, and meaningful dialogue, fostering personal insight, authentic connection, and real transformation.
Her passion lies in helping people return to themselves – out of the noise and into clarity, calm, and connection. Nothing is broken, we only remove the friction.

Hi, I'm Dr Lauren Tober!
As a Clinical Psychologist and Yoga Teacher of nearly two decades and the author of Mental Health Aware Yoga: A Guide for Yoga Teachers, I'm passionate about integrating yoga and psychology on the mat, in the counselling room and in the world.
With the growing interest in mental health and yoga, yoga students are attending yoga classes for the mental health benefits in unprecedented numbers.
In fact, 79.4% of yoga students report practicing yoga for the mental health benefits.
It's important that Yoga Teachers know how to support them.
I'm glad you're here.
