This week, we have 26-year-old Rachel Straining. Rachel, aka @thenoglutengirl on Instagram, is not only a fabulous food blogger, but also an advocate for all things Crohn's, food intolerance & sensitivity, and bowel disease. Rachel and I connected back in 2019- I had just been diagnosed with Crohn's and felt lost in my chronic diagnosis. Little did I know, when I reached out, Rachel had hit another rock bottom of her own Crohn's journey. Having a bowel, autoimmune disease like Crohn's can be incredibly hard. Not only for the obvious reasons, like chronic pain and discomfort- but it can also be really emotionally taxing. Anxiety, isolation, not being taken seriously, self-blame, and invisible pain are all things that both Rachel & I have experienced. In this episode, we talk about that mental struggle. We discuss symptoms, getting the diagnosis and what that process looks like, finding doctors that have your best interests at heart, lifestyle and diet changes, medications, relationships, and so much more as it pertains to Crohn's. We truly walk you through every step, and leave no detail to the imagination. I encourage you to give it a listen; this is great not only for anyone struggling with a disease like Crohn's but also for anyone experiencing awful stomach pain/symptoms that need help lighting the way to a diagnosis. Our DMs are always open- if you need to reach out or are feeling alone, we’re here for you xo

Did you miss me? Good! Because I’m here for a solo moment this week. Just me, myself, and I, catching up with y’all on what I’ve been up to for the last 2 months. Traveling to new countries, learning about myself and the world, returning stateside, moving to a new town, navigating an incredibly tough time mentally, craving stillness, therapy, new roommates, and of course, lots of business things. These catch-up episodes are essentially me chatting with a friend on the phone (you), and giving you all the tea on what’s new in my life. I hope you enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think! Xo

Good morning and welcome back to Raw Intentions. This week, we’ve got special guest Devyn Breskin on the podcast. Devyn is a 26 year old SoCal native, creative, fashion lover, and newly coined Tiktok star. She has such a cool story- a perfect example of how far “shooting your shot” can get you, even if you’re under qualified & don’t think it’s possible. Devyn’s done it all- from finding her freedom in leaving school and pursuing her passions, to UPS store employee, to social media manager, to creating viral tiktoks and starting a styling side hustle! We discuss not letting the fear of hearing “no” hold you back, using your 20’s to sample all of your interests, working for a massive fashion influencer, the recipe for tiktok success, combating the mental rollercoaster that is social media, and her newly dubbed personal stylist title. We also give you ALL the behind the scenes and “why” behind our trucker hat collab with Devyn, which launched this week. Loved getting to know Devyn on a deeper level, and excited to create together and watch her grow! Enjoy xo

This week, we have 24-year-old, founder & PR queen Rachel Granger on the podcast. Small-town roots & family values, mental health ups and downs, faith, and the kindness of strangers, have shaped Rachel into the woman she is today. This also gave her the backbone and courage to launch her PR company, Blue Jean Public Relations. After taking PR & Journalism in school, and spending years in the industry herself, Rachel found something missing- the core values and hard working, authenticity that her family instilled in her from a young age, and the resounding love for creating relationships and helping people. In this episode, not only does she take us through her life, and give invaluable advice about finding yourself, finding your passions, and staying grounded through life’s ups and downs; but she also takes us through the creation of her thriving, self-started, PR company. She gives advice for other businesses, for influencers, PR  do’s and do NOT’s, and so much more. I for one, will be listening back to this episode and taking notes, and you should too. So give a warm welcome to Rachel, and we hope you love this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it! Xo

Hola my traveling friends, and welcome back to Raw Intentions. This week, I take y’all to school. After traveling all summer, and sharing every moment along the way, I’ve gotten tons of questions & dms, especially about my solo travel. Is it safe? How do you travel alone? Where should I go? Is it scary? How do you make friends? How do you afford it? Curiosity surrounding solo travel, especially as a female, is something that I’ve noticed tenfold. It feels scary, unknown, and unattainable- especially if it’s something you’ve never done, or really thought much about. Well have no fear; I’m here to help. It’s so safe, fun, exploratory, beautiful, and, in my opinion, vital to anyone wanting to grow intrinsically and see the world. I get super micro, and break down solo travel- down to its purest form. I talk about ways to prep yourself for the solitude, ways to dip your toes into it, explain why its actually not scary at all, give all the budgeting and travel hacks, suggestions on great cities and countries to begin your solo travel journey, talk hostel culture, advice on making friends and meeting new people, literally everything. I answer specific questions y’all had, and talk through the frequent inquiries I get via dms. I hope you find this episode valuable, and I would be more than happy to help in any way if you’re trying to plan a trip of your own. Happy travels and hope you enjoy! Xo

In light of my big move to the mountains, I found myself in despair. Sitting on a basement floor, surrounded by boxes of clothing, knickknacks, and chaos. In an attempt to educate myself, and let my mistakes be a lesson to our listeners, I called on my dear friend, Logan Alderman. Logan is a professional organizer, mover, declutter-er, and all around emotional support cleaning service for the greater Charleston area. In 2019, she decided to turn her love for organization and closet cleanouts into her full-time job; starting her now thriving company, Orderly. We learn how she started her service-based business from the ground up; how she got clients, things she quickly learned, mistakes she made, how she priced herself, and so much more. Then, Logan takes us to school and teaches us how to lead a decluttered life. How to be less of a consumer, small habits that can create big change in your space, parting with clothing we no longer need, how to prep for a big move, and ways to make your move a little less awful (hint: leave your wine opener readily available). So we hope you enjoy this episode, and hope this inspires a future closet cleanout! Xo

Finally back stateside, and thought it would be the perfect time to bring on the one & only Sar Car Bridgers. Sar Car, like me, LOVES to travel. She is also like me, in the sense that she will stretch the dollar as far as it can go. We get messages all the time- asking “How we do it?” How you travel this much and how can you afford it? Where do I begin? What if I’ve never been abroad before? Is traveling safe? We answer all of those questions and more. From funny travel stories, to knowing where to start when in a foreign city or country, to battling homesickness, we cover it all. Not only does Sar Car share tons of hacks on booking, figuring out where to go, and how to travel cheaply, but she also tells us TONS of insider tips on traveling, for FREE. Yes, free. How to pitch to hotels & airbnbs, companies that let you work in exchange for free food and accommodations, building your portfolio, and so much more. This episode is perfect for anyone that’s dabbled in travel, has the same wanderlust as us, or someone that’s terrified to travel, but desperately wants to explore the world. Thank you so much for coming on, Sar Car, and we hope that you enjoy this episode! Xo

This week, I sat down with my 25 year old (yes single), brother, Ethan Smyth, while at our grandparents house in Northern Ireland. We did a podcast together back in October, when he came to visit me in Colorado. Since then, he’s quit his job, sold all of his belongings, and set off to travel the world. 7 months in, he’s a changed man. Okay not really, he’s still equaparts boy genius and shit head- BUT, he’s traveled more in the last half a year, than some people travel in their entire lives. Visiting exotic places like Korea, Cambodia, Australia, and islands in Thailand I can’t begin to pronounce. Ethan walks us through his travels thus far; why Vietnam is a must-see, how he ended up with two random thigh tattoos, what it’s like to run with the bulls in Paloma, and why he owes an Aussie RV company a lot of money. We swap stories from our solo adventures and try our best to give advice to others that want to travel, but have no idea where to begin. We laughed til we cried, and disgraced the family name, one story at a time. Anyways, enjoy these conversations, & if you’d like to keep up with Ethan’s travels, you can follow along at @global_gremlin. Xo

Okay, not in my money era YET, but we’re manifesting that haha. In today’s episode, I give y’all the business lowdown. So much has happened with Raw & Rebellious, my lifestyle brand, in the last few months, and so much is happening in the next month or so. I go through each concept, collection, and new business I’ve started in the recent past, and discuss my why, my goals, and where I’d like to be by the end of this month, to set us up for a successful year. I talk about tiktok, diving into my collaboration era, why I believe money is coming soon, and why despite massive sales months, we still seem to be coming up a tad short. I explain any and all creative concepts we’ve drummed up in the last couple months, as well as why I decided to start a new business while living abroad. New apparel, a candle company, prints, and so much more will be coming to R&R in the near future; tune into this episode and stay in the know. Enjoy! Xo
