400 Episodes In, What It Really Took To Build This Podcast


Listen Later

I still can’t believe I’m saying this…
This is Episode 400.

Four hundred moments behind this mic.
Four hundred episodes of growth, doubt, courage, consistency, breakdowns, breakthroughs, late-night recordings, early-morning pickups, messy drafts… and truth.

In this milestone episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes into the part no one sees — the part I’ve never shared publicly.
The fears. The failures. The almost-quit moments.
The tears on the other side of the mic.
And the exact reason I kept going… even on the days I didn’t want to.

If you’ve ever doubted your voice, questioned your path, wanted to quit something meaningful, or wondered if anyone truly cared about what you were building — this episode will speak to you.

This is the story behind The Raquel Show, the chapter that’s ending, and the new movement that’s beginning…
PLAY BIGGER with Raquel.

This one is raw.
This one is emotional.
This one is for every builder, creator, leader, and dreamer who keeps showing up even when the world is heavy.
