A magical monthly subscription… that’s SO much more than a box
Taking you from a place of self-doubt, to embracing your truest self & trusting your own inner wisdom.
Discover the magic of your inner world through nature, metaphor, and reflection
Welcome to What’s Inside? – a unique monthly subscription designed to guide you on a soulful journey of self-discovery. Taking you to a place of radical self-acceptance:
Where you are comfortable in your own skin
Where you can access joy in a heartbeat
Where you notice and relish feeling alive
Where you feel an ease and lightness of being
Where you fully trust your inner wisdom
So many people feel crippled by a sense of self-doubt, heightened by traditional personal development
They are seeking something to bring a sense of inner peace, and to let go of the doubts that they hold.
And there is so much that’s available to us, promising to help us get there: so many tools, books, courses. Yet nothing seems to hit the spot.
We often overlook that all the answers we seek are already inside of us. We have an inner wisdom, if we only learn how to listen to it. We’ve just spent so long being busy, and looking for answers outside, that we’ve forgotten it’s there.
You might not know it, but your inner wisdom is there, inside.
When we are truly awake and alive to all the data and information our senses are giving us, then we are able to access it in a way that feels immensely peaceful, grounded and deep.
We need to discover What’s Inside?
And that’s not just a cognitive process.
We need to use ALL our senses, metaphor, archetypes and story.
So, let me show you how.
Designed to stimulate every sense, the monthly contents of this innovative subscription provoke a deep and personal inner journey, while helping us stay connected to the wheel of the year, the seasons as they pass, the moon, the rhythms of nature, our own rhythms.
It’s a treat for the Soul.
Available as a unique magical subscription or as a one-off box, What’s Inside? will safely guide your inner journey, and support you as you unfold.
Deep change takes time – and we are organic beings, impacted by the seasons and cycles, whether we know it or not.
Get a taster with one journalling box, subscribe for just one season, or let me help you to unfold and grow throughout the full wheel of the year.
It’s also the perfect thoughtful gift!
Don’t wait any longer – we need to be able to access all our inner resources & our inner wisdom more than ever.
Each box is a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the world around you.

I’m your guide, Rachel Anderson
I’ve been a coach for the last 16 years, although sometimes I don’t call myself a coach these days, because what I do is more than just coaching. I’m also a social introvert, a writer of a book on Introversion & Leadership, a mother of 3 young women, and so much more.
From my first career in forestry, to coaching thousands of clients 1:1, to motherhood and burnout, to exploring personal development and spiritual development in many different forms, I wouldn’t change a moment of it, the light AND the dark.
So much in the personal development world says that somehow you ought to be something different from who you are. I take a different approach, one of radical self-acceptance. Because when we are rooted in who we are, like a tree, we grow naturally into being all that we can be.
I realised I needed a light framework to help me stay connected to this deeper inner wisdom; to help me to listen and notice what’s right under my nose. SO I’ve had enormous fun creating this beautiful programme called “What’s Inside?” – designed to help explore and keep us connected to Soul and Source in nature.
In truth, I’ve made this for me. But if you’re interested, you’re welcome to join me on this magical journey towards radical self-acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you ship “What’s Inside?” boxes outside of the UK?
Due to shipping difficulties we’re currently only shipping “What’s Inside?” boxes in the UK. We’d love to make physical boxes available to more countries in the future. In the meantime, the online version of “What’s Inside?” is available worldwide.
Can I purchase a “What’s Inside?” box as a gift for someone else?
Most definitely! How wonderful that you’re considering giving someone a “What’s Inside?” box, it’s the perfect thoughtful gift! Just make sure you add the correct shipping details when you are purchasing the box.
What's the difference between a gift box and a monthly subscription?
The gift box is just a one-off box. It’s intended to be a gift for a loved one, or yourself. We send the journalling box of that month with all the contents straight to the mailbox, but it doesn’t include any community aspects like the subscription does.
The subscription box is a 3-month or yearly commitment, and you’ll receive a different box each month. It’s meant to be more of a journey, so it also includes an online member’s area and monthly community gatherings.
How are the “What’s Inside?” contents picked?
All objects, prompts & practices are personally curated by Rachel, picked carefully to reflect the ebb and flow of the seasons and following monthly themes. The contents are designed to help you explore your inner self through metaphor and all the senses, and deepen your connection to nature.
What it my box gets lost or damaged during shipping?
That is very unlikely to happen, but in the event it does, send an email to [email protected] and we’ll sort it out.
Any more questions?
Send an email to [email protected] and we’ll answer to you as soon as possible.
