  • Rachel Elizabeth | Her First Movie, Paris Hilton & Life Lately

    Rachel Elizabeth is making her big-screen debut in Price of Redemption, and we’re finally talking about it!

    Rachel joins Shawn Livingston to share what it was like stepping onto a real movie set with the Sober Girls Group Chat, why she was nervous about acting, and what happened when we watched an early cut of the film together

    She’s also fresh off a trip to Paris Hilton’s house for an ADHD event, so naturally we’ve got plenty to catch up on

    We get into motherhood, content creation, ADHD, the conversations surrounding 7-OH and kratom, and how much our lives have changed over the years

    But one of the biggest conversations is about Price of Redemption, why this film was made, and who Rachel believes needs to see it

    Two longtime friends catching up, sharing some laughs, and talking about a movie that means a whole lot more than either of us could have imagined
