Rosé with Rae

Group chat ~unlocked~ It's our last episode in the General Support Center group chat series. I've sat down with my girls Sophie, Colby and Stephanie over the past couple of weeks and today we're closing out this chapter with Makenzi. I met Kenzo through J when they worked together and I always say she's one of the best gifts that J left me with. This might be one of my favorite episodes I've ever recorded because we're talking about so many things I've never gotten into before. I love sharing these memories and life lessons with y'all. Ps: fun drinking game. Take a shot every time I say something changed my life. Let's dig in:

• Shifting your mindset to accept that good things are coming your way
• Trusting your gut and leaning into your intuition
• Journaling, the art of visualization, and manifesting
• Falling in love with raving and the EDM world (I love you San Holo!!!)
• Turks and Caicos 30th birthday trip recap

Update - I'm still wiggling on Wednesdays #iykyk

If you've been rocking with me for a minute then you not only know me, but you also know my bfffff Stephanie Fernandez. She's been on both seasons of the podcast and we've been in each other's lives for the past decade. Steph is a phenomenal educator, she's won teacher of the year 2 years in a row and was recently nominated for the HEB excellence in education award. She proudly teaches in the poorest zip code in San Antonio and pours herself into these students and serves as a safe refuge for them. Sis is the real deal, but after being stuck in the middle of toxic public school environments and being targeted by admin, she quit on the 4th day of school and went on a 3 month sabbatical from the education system. A few topics we're diving into in today's episode:

• Giving yourself permission to change your mind and your situation
• Making the brave decision to step away from a toxic environment that is sucking the life out of you
• Moving forward from traumatic experiences and stepping into safe spaces
• Taking back our mental health and starting medication for anxiety and depression

Next up from the group chat is Dr. Colby Adolph. In this episode, I have Colby back on the podcast and we're catching up on what life looks like for her since we recorded our episode in season 2.

She's currently finding peace in her post-divorce era and recently packed up and moved across the country to take steps towards her building her dream life and dream career. Today we're chatting through what life after divorce looks like, chasing your dreams and manifesting your dream life, honoring your boundaries and capacity, and sitting with all of your emotions.

Last season we dove deep into our experiences with therapy and our healing processes. In this episode, Colby vulnerably walks us through her journey through talk therapy, energy healing/inner child work, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).

WELCOME TO THE GROUP CHAT!!!

The "General Support Center" group chat is a safe space for dating, life advice, random polls, and there's always some piping hot tea being spilled. It's me + my girls Sophie, Colby, and Makenzi and for the next few episodes of the podcasts I'm sitting down with all of my girls. This week, I'm sitting down with my brother Sophie. She's one of the best gifts that Joe left me with and hands down one of my funniest friends. We're chatting about grieving the loss of our friends, her perspective on losing Joe + other friends to cancer, online dating battle stories, and our love for "scrollin and trollin".

A true episode where you might laugh + cry, so pour up the rosè. xx

Today I'm sitting down with my beautiful widow sister, Fabi. She lost her husband to Synovial Sarcoma in December of 2016. This episode will air just two days after his 6 year anniversary of passing so this is a special one for us to celebrate the love of her life, Josh. After finding out his cancer was terminal, his last wish was for Fabi to start their dream family with or without him. Before he started chemo, he froze his sperm and Fabi has spent the last 2 years going through 5 rounds of IVF with so many ups and downs trying to make her dream a reality.

This one's for you, Josh & Baby P. I know Josh is holding onto them a little tight in heaven until they makes their way earthside for us to love on Baby P here.

On J's 2 year death anniversary I released a bonus episode with my widow sister, Margaret. 10/10 recommend you grab a glass + tissue and go back and listen to that episode. Fast forward to today, I met Fabi through Margaret and they happened to be together while we were recording this episode so you'll hear a few words from her as well. LOVE these girls. So grateful for a team who gets it.

This episode is a peek into my sober curious journey that's turned into my alcohol-free lifestyle. 25 year old me would never (ever) believe that removing alcohol would be a part of my journey, but man I'm glad I'm here. In this episode we're diving into:

• Why I stopped drinking and what's keeping me on this journey
• How removing alcohol has saved my mental health
• A deeper look into my journey to self and therapy
• Authentic communication - the key to having tough conversations with yourself and others

It's been over 2 years since I was last behind the mic and we have so much to catch up on. Life looks so different for me now than it did 2 years ago and I'm excited to share my evolution of self with y'all. I'm 4 years into my grief journey and I've arrived at a sweet place of acceptance that grief is a part of my story, but it doesn't have to be my entire identity. I've spent the last 2 years devoting so much time to myself by prioritizing rest, healing, and manifesting the life that I desire. In this episode we're going to chat through:

• Life after loss - what's new in my world
• Taking a break from creating content to focus on myself
• Removing alcohol from my life and becoming a mocktail girlie
• My wins (and losses) on bumble and bumble bff

We're back this week for one of our final episodes of Season 2. Lindsay is a dear friend that I met on IG a few years ago and has easily become one of my favorite people to follow on Instagram and in real life. After going through a tough break up, she began to see God in a new way and I love how she uses her platform "The Faith Feast" to welcome other people into the presence of God so that they can experience His fullness. The best part? The girl is down to earth and SO relatable. No Christianese or holier than thou BS over here - just two girls who know how much they need a Savior. In today's episode, Lindsay is walking us through what it looks like to fully trust God even in the moments that you want to be in control, what faith means to her, and what true intimacy with God looks like. I left this conversation feeling so convicted (in the best way) to PRAY and welcome God into my everyday because a part from Him there is no rest. Another reminder that Lindsay kindly blesses us with.
