h.e.r.LIFE Blogcast

This week, we’re celebrating Kevin Verga’s 24th birthday with an episode dedicated to the man himself: everyone’s favorite returning guest (& honorary co-host).

After discussing lost loves, workout classes, and Coach Bennett in h.e.r. Reflections, the trio moves on to Swoon of the Week, where they dish on Gonzaga basketball, Coach Kyle Neptune, and Lili Trifilio of Beach Bunny fame.

Next, it’s time for Content Catchup. Hear about Human Growth and Development from Emma, plus some nuggets of wisdom courtesy of Patti Smith (brought to us by Kevin). Rachel wraps up with a discussion about niceness, inspired by a recent episode of The Cut podcast; then, it’s time for Kevin’s birthday horoscope. How do you know when it’s time to set a boundary? And what do you do to set that boundary? Hear all the fiery answers right here on the h.e.r.LIFE Blogcast.

Thank you to Kevin Verga, Emma Spoldi, and Rachel Malak for contributing this week, and as always, thank you for listening!

Happy Easter from the h.e.r.LIFE team! To celebrate, Rachel Malak sits down with Heidi Schlumpf, the National Catholic Reporter's executive editor, the talk about Liberal Catholicism in America. She talks historical context, integrity conflicts, Joe Biden and more—all while reminding us that there's no such thing as the "perfect" Catholic. 

We hope this episode feels validating and inspiring, and we hope you'll share it with someone you love.

I was so incredibly honored to be asked to speak at a Fordham Spire meeting this semester. Spire is a network of women supporting and empowering one another through service, seminar, and sisterhood. I came to share my perspective on post-grad, res life, podcasting, etc., and I've been smiling ever since! What a phenomenal group of young women, all with incredibly bright futures. 

This episode features me as interviewee, rather than interviewer. I hope that it will help you get to know me a bit better and encourage you to share your stories with the women who inspire you. We all have so much to learn from each other. xxRachel
