For The Girl

Learning How to Love Your Life Even When You Don't Like It with Rachel Awtrey

Listen Later

This week, we’re joined by the one and only Rachel Awtrey—podcaster, mama, and joy-finder extraordinaire! Rachel is calling in from Birmingham, Alabama and brings such a refreshing perspective on embracing life fully, even when it doesn’t look how you expected. We talk about military life, motherhood, writing her upcoming book, and how she’s learned to chase joy through every season—from grief and moving nine times, to walks in the heat, trampolines, and all the real talk in between.
