I Wish Someone Would've Told Me!

In today's podcast, I talk to my friend, Naomi, about her story of abuse as a child, how she's coping with it as an adult, and the healing she's still working through.

This week, we discuss never being prepared for life's hardships! But we can have a foundation to get us through 💙

Today, I'm sharing the epiphany that I had one day while reading the story of Rachel and Jacob. There's work to be done while single!

Today I enjoy podcasting with my dear friend and sister, Ayeleh! She's recently engaged and, man, when I tell you we've been on a rollercoaster together these last 10+ years, I'm not exaggerating! She has always told me from day one, "Rachel, our story isn't going to be normal." Neither of us knew just how prophetic those words were! Now, listen in to our stories and our journeys to married life!...

Still waiting on the right one? Good! There's nothing wrong with you! God is preparing you. Today, we discuss the perils of waiting and the importance of understanding the VALUE in waiting on God to bring you the right one!

Live a little! Or a lottle! Whatever you want, just do it! Life is way too short to be bogged down by everyday life. Don't be so focused on living that you forget to live. Go and invest in experiences.

We hear it all the time, but does it ever sink in? Does it ever become a revelation? Is it ever a reality? Does God really care? That's so hard to believe sometimes!! Let's talk...

HAPPY 2021!! You survived 2020, but now what? You want to move forward, but how do you start over? Three easy steps 1. Decide 2. Write 3. Execute Listen as I elaborate on these points and then go start over!

Longsuffering, grace, and forgiveness... WAY easier said than done. In this podcast, China and I dig into healing "in silence" when others have wronged you. Is that possible?

We're debunking TMI.

From the time that we're a baby, we're thrown into a world of competition. This world becomes the birthing ground for insecurities, complexes, and even jealousy. But, what if we didn't focus on others so much? What if, dare I say it, we took time to mind our OWN business?!

Today I enjoyed talking with Steven about some discoveries that we stumbled upon after getting married. We had so much fun reliving some reality checks. Truthfully! Marriage isn't a cute picture. It's a challenge that you have to overcome everyday. But, if you're as competitive as my hubby, challenges are fun 🙃🥰😅

Simply put, the title says it all :)

There's such a pressure to have your life planned out by the time you walk across your high-school graduation stage. Think about it! One day you're asking permission to go to the school clinic, and the very next day, by the flip of a cap tassel, you're expected to have a 4 to 8 year plan for your life completely laid out! It's pretty crazy! Then there's the side of making your parents proud by doi...

A friend is someone who you can share everything with and they share everything with you, right? Wrong! It's time to debunk the myths that friendships have to fit a certain mold. Time to go back to truly enjoying one another's company without minimizing their role in your life. Friendships are BLESSINGS that come in many forms. Respect those relationships.

You know that weeping only endures for a night and that things will eventually get better, but sometimes you don't feel it! And to add to it, sometimes things feel difficult even when everything SEEMS to be going right! Is this normal? Is there something wrong with you? When will you just "get over it?!" Today we uncover the last 3 stages of grief and some interesting realities of the other 4 stag...

Grief will make you feel like you're underwater. In today's topic we'll discuss stages 3 and 4 of Grief and how, if handled wrong, this stage will make you feel like you're drowning.

There are seven stages to grieving someone's death... but what about someone still living? This is just the foundation to the series on Grief that Raychel will cover. Steps one and two are understandable. The rest are about to get emotional! (Stay tuned!)

Men Are Dogs? Men are dogs! On this episode I invite my friend Liz and my husband Steven to sit down and have a friendly discussion on why we ALL agree that men are dogs.

DISCLAIMER: Audio quality isn't the best. 2nd DISCLAIMER: If you've got your life figured out and faith under your thumb, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! For the rest of us, me and my dear friend Liz take time to talk about living out faith UNCONSCIOUSLY and stepping out even without all the answers. Here's a hint: ALL things work together for your good!!! (ALL)

I get REAL fired up today talking about the importance of finding Contentment Before Commitment and the pain I went through before coming to this reality.
