- a bit of a vulnerable honest chat about the last few years... I didn't want to come on here and pretend my life is all rainbows and sunflowers 24/7, like everyone - there are some seasons harder than others. With that said, some old flowers have been left behind, and new ones have grown and are still growing as I grow and i'm so excited to share them on this channel. Thank you everyone who has been supporting me and this channel over the years, new and old, thank you so incredibly much! Love Rach xxx

I am very overwhelmed in THE BEST WAY at the love you are sharing with me in the comments, I can't express just how deeply I appreciate every single one of you who took time to watch and share such kind words. wow thank you ❤❤❤❤
YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!!! SO GLAD YOU HAVE COME THROUGH AND SOARING! WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!
Hugs to your precious son and looking forward to seeing the home you create for the two of you!! Sending massive love from Baltimore, Maryland, USA!
Sending massive love from Arlington Tx!
Glad to see you!!!❤ your an inspiration always. Thanks for sharing. Totally understand the transition of being a mom. I have two girls. Finding time for yourself can be hard. But yep it’s all worth it. I cannot wait to see what videos you put out! House, food, whatever!!! I’m here for it! Take care!
Love to see you back! Sending you love and light❤ You are stunning ✨
Thank you for sharing. I love to see the growth in you! ❤️
I became a Dad in 2022 and I could not imagine doing it without my partner because it can be so hard so major respect for you and all the single parents out there doing good by their kids. It's great to hear you are in a space to make videos again because my cooking has been uninspired since you have been gone!
Congratulations!!! And thank you so so much, i'm back here to inspire your families kitchen ha! 🙏🏾
You definitely don’t owe us explanations, and honestly I assumed there had to be ‘stuff’ what with becoming a mother. But I’m so glad you’re better and I wish you and your son all the health and happiness in the universe ❤
Thank you 🥹 ❤
Not to sound stupid but your explanation of Colic was the first time I’ve actually been able to understand it. I really struggled with the concept before. Thank you for this small but significant mention
I agree
You don't sound stupid. We all understand things better in different ways
Growth and healing are constant journeys. Take your time and give yourself grace. We're happy to see your smiling face again! 😊
🥹 Thank you 🙏🏾☺
So lovely to see you back Rachel. Your authentic vulnerability is so beautiful. I am 65 years old and your words about being a single Mum took me right back to my own experience and so resonated with me. You have every reason to be proud! I really look forward to your upcoming videos. Love your food too!
Aw thank you so so much❤
I had four kids. Even with a partner around, the whole motherhood thing is an absolute rollercoaster. My kids are all up and gone now, but you never stop being Mum or worrying about them (my eldest just turned 40!!) However, I'm so pleased to see you back. Just do what you can and don't overload yourself. xx
How fabulous to see you again Rachel and looking so well, you were missed.
This 61 year old doesn't do Instagram or FB or Tik Tok or whatever but I live on TH-cam and really missed your videos.
Becoming a mother is a HUGE deal so never apologise for putting your son first. Now that he's older and a bit more independent it does get easier and hopefully you can get a bit of time for yourself to do what you want to.
I'm an architectural technician so house renovations are my thing and I'm totally here for it. You'll have to show us that fabulous kitchen you are sitting in first though, it looks amazing.
Do everything at your own pace Rachel. Just post videos when you can, don't set yourself too much of a schedule and we'll be here for it, you are too good and to talented to miss.
Great to see you back. 😊
Thank you so so much, appreciate you so much. Wait til you see the house in the next episode, it needs a lot 😂
Girl, you do you, I respect your work and your privacy. I don’t usually leave comments, but as a fellow mom (had my daughter in 2022), I had to just let you know the amount of respect I have for you after hearing this is IMMENSE. Motherhood is hard! It pushes us grow up a bit, and it makes it clearer to us what matters and what doesn’t. Anyways, keep being awesome 🙂 share what you want to, when you want to, no worries at all!
When I first became plant based , I relied heavily on Rachel’s recipes. This channel was my foundation . Thank you !! You taught me there is more to plant based eating than carrots and celery!!💜💜💜
As a childless person I just wanted to express the utmost respect and admiration, because those years of uncertainty were tough enough on their own. You’re an inspiration to do more and make more out of the time we do have in certain privileged situations, and above all to remain authentic and true to your values. May God continue to bless you and your son. Im excited to see what’s next on your journey and for all that you’re willing to share with us along that journey. ❤
This is so REAL. Becoming a mom shifts your whole world. Being a single mom is a whole other ball game. Cheers to you for adjusting with your son and can't wait to see your home remodeling journey! 🎉
You are a treasure. Motherhood is a transformation, be gentle as the newest version of Rachel blooms. Rest increases creativity-you are not a machine with productivity expectations. We, your audience, will always wait for your quality content.
As a birth and postpartum doula, of course we want your homebirth content, too.😊
We knew (some of us knew) you had a child, then the world shut down. Just happy to see you back every now and then. We appreciate you and your videos!!! 🥰🥰🥰
You were truly missed, but I think we have full understanding that you were going through life transitions! No need to apologize. I’m excited for your return and to meet the new Rachel. You have been incredibly amazing and have my FULL support for your return! ❤💐
Yes yes yes!!!!! Welcome back, mama. We’ve been waiting for all the house, all the food and you!!!
Delighted to see you back! You are so right, being a parent is a great privilege, for me being a dad who is totally committed to his children has easily surpassed any of my achievements in work! Take care, stay strong!
You look amazing.! I found your channel maybe in 2018 and was so happy when you announced your pregnancy a few years ago, so I figured that’s why you took the break. I’m happy to hear you’ve overcome everything life threw at you! I’m looking forward to new recipes, the home birth vlog, and the home renovation series!!
Thank you for being so vulnerable and transparent. Social media likes to portray parenthood like it’s just cute outfits and a need for coffee but it’s real work that’s requires inner work and therapy. I definitely don’t want kids but I respect parents that are choosing to break cycles
Missed you Rachel. Happy to see you.
Rachel, it’s great to have you back better than ever. Continue your amazing journey with cooking sharing food and recipes, and whatever part of your life with your son that you choose to share with us will always be a blessing and greatly received by so many of us.❤❤❤❤❤
Life is always lifing!!!! Your son is the most important person, raising someone to be loving & caring happens by showing up for them & loving & caring for them!! We need those people in the world more than we need videos!! So congrats on THAT!!! Can’t wait to see the home renovations or whatever else you post, those of us that love your spirit will watch it all!!!!! Be blessed and continue to pour into your son, time flies really really fast and family comes 1st!!!!
I always wondered how you were doing. This is so generous of you to share. Here to watch whatever you want you share- birthing reflections included!
Echoing most of the great comments here - we’re not owed any explanations but I’m so happy
AND excited to have you back! Being vulnerable is scary but hopefully you’ve found this moment rewarding. Can’t wait to watch your return ❤
seeing your enthusiasm after enduring so many changes is incredibly motivating, so thank you for sharing this
Nothing is more important or urgent than your time you needed bonding and learning how to balance being a mother and giving us content. Mothering is the highest act in society. It’s okay you needed time and space, I’m sorry that you was alone. But we are still here ready to receive the new you… you have time to figure everything out still 💕💕
I can't imagine how hard it is to do parenting alone without the adequate support of loved ones and the father of the child. So much respect to you and and congratulations on the new home. Your baby is truly blessed. Glad to have you back as my flexiterian diet needs an injection of your vegan delights. 💐
Becoming a mother is hard, but so much growth, strength, and power arises from the journey. God bless you, Rachel ❤
I became a mom right before the pandemic to a boy as well , and breastfeed as well for 2 1/2 years and my son was/ still is attached to my hip. I understand your journey more than I can express. My son is 4 now and I am just now finding my balance in my daily life. So, I am also really proud of THIS Rachel as well and I’m looking forward to your new videos.
Aw proud of this Rachel too! Went to your book signing in Brixton and it was nice to see you being celebrated by our community, would love to see your birth and home renovation story x
Rachel, I so rarely leave comments on TH-cam but feel moved to do so after your generous, honest and deeply relatable video ❤ my first introduction to your work was in fact One Pot Three Ways! It’s a remarkable book, one I’ve made many meals from. To know you wrote it during such a difficult time makes it even more amazing. I’m not a mum but I have had some painful complicated situations to deal with over the past few years that have resulted in me stepping back and wanting to be less visible online so I really get that side of things. Know that I’m here cheering you on from Australia and am excited to watch whatever you choose to share next! Stay strong and you absolutely deserve to be proud of yourself, not just of This Rachel but Every Rachel! ❤️ xxx
oh this made me so emotional, in the best way thank you for sharing with me! so so so glad you enjoy the book!💗
As a mom of a 2.5 year old, whew I felt and heard your loud and clear. It took 2 years for me to start feeling like myself again. I’m sure your child is wonderful and we’re glad you’re back!
This is such a relatable video. I had a similar experience when i became a mom and then trying to find myself, heal in the process. I assumed you were busy as a new mom and figured you'll get back to posting eventually.
Thank you so much for sharing your vulnerable side. Being a single mother is hard! I really felt your story and I am happy to hear you are proud of yourself. You earned that! Can't wait to tag along your journey again. Rooting for you :)
Thank you so so much! Appreciate your words so much 💗
Aw pet, I'm so sorry to hear you went through a bit of a rough patch there for a while. I'm not a mum myself but I do very much understand your feelings of isolation having left an abusive relationship fairly recently. Anyway, I wish you all the best with your personal & professional stuff, your videos have always been a ray of sunshine for me and I'm sure many others.
Rachel, I recently found your videos after completing a 21 day water fast. I wanted to be more intentional about the foods I ate as I move through life. I just made the vegan jerk tacos last night and they were delicioussss. I quite understand how life can be a challenge. So happy to have found your videos and can’t wait to catch up on all I’ve missed. Welcome back❤
You are a Queen and we appreciate and respect your journey. Your community is here with you thru it all Black Queen.
Thank you so much for coming back to us over here on TH-cam. I have been following you for years and you were also a big part of my plant based journey. I recently found out that I am pregnant but I am super early in my pregnancy at the moment (about 7 weeks now). I would absolutely love it if you could share your home birth journey on this platform as well. Thank you so much for sharing your journey through these last few years with us. We’ve missed you!
Rachel! It’s so good to see posting again! Congratulations on your son and don’t worry you just take your time but glad to see you taking time for yourself again. You have been missed and it is very hard to raise a child by yourself and I’m so sorry you had to do that by yourself but it’s really good to have you back again ❤
So happy to have you back! I watched you for years. I figured you needed space as a new mom. Can’t wait for us all to connect again 💜
As a first time mom, I know the feeling!!! Everything you went through. You're not alone Mama! It also took me just as long to get back to myself. Except, a better version of myself. Proud of you, beautiful soul! 💛💛💛
Great to have you back darling. I did wonder how you were, but you left us when you became a mommy, so it was no surprise when you disappeared. Much love from South Africa
Despite having watched many other Vegan cooking videos, I still remember many of yours. Welcome back.
I definitely recommend Rachel’s cookbook. I got it as a Christmas gift and it’s fantastic
“Always giving to my son..” I feel You so much! ❤
Ohh... I love that you're finally bringing the house journey to TH-cam. It's been so interesting following the journey on IG. I can't wait for the long form videos/ vlogs so we can get into the details. The house is going to be when when you're done. ❤
Ok so I’m new here I been vegan for 7 yrs and a single mom divorced for 3yrs. Your first video was the savory vegan breakfast and then I discovered more about your channel. And right away I subscribed I saw the one with your new house congrats when I divorced I bought my own house as well. A 1913 Lol yes I like old well I’m staying for your journey and only we know what a single mom goes through and we just do what we have to do. Can’t wait to watch more. 🫶🏻💚🥑
Give yourself some grace... you are amazing, Rachel. Yes, we definitely missed your videos for sure! But as a mom, I completely understand what takes precedence over TH-cam and of course, finding your balance and being a great mom. You got this. We'll be here whenever you figure it out. Much love!❤ -A day one follower since 2017... when u started with that white guy... then he disappeared 🤷🏾♀️😂
