Sandwiched between Liv’s 29th and her fiancé Hayden’s 31st, we’re leaning all in to the joy (and drama) of birthdays. Back on the mic with us is Hayden Mattingly—golf lover, dog dad, and summer birthday enthusiast—who’s here to defend the superiority of warm-weather celebrations.

Together, we unpack childhood birthday memories, the heated debate over singing “Happy Birthday” (are we doing this for fun or torture?), and the ultimate showdown: ice cream cake vs. cookie cake vs. bundt cake vs. cream cheese frosting supremacy. Plus, we dive into why birthdays really matter—especially for kids—and how they shape the way we celebrate ourselves and others.

Let’s make a wish and hit play. 🎂✨

In this deeply honest episode, Rachel and Liv sit down to talk about people showing their true colors. As we grow older, the way we connect shifts—people drift, priorities change, and sometimes, the friendships we thought would last forever just… don’t. The question that always lingers: Does everything happen for a reason? Through laughter and raw reflections Rachel and Olivia explore how aging forces us to reevaluate what we need from the people around us and what we no longer find important in our lives. Oh and there's some pillow screaming involved too.

This week on the RL Podcast, Rachel takes over the mic — and she’s not alone. Her husband Luke joins for a raw, heartfelt, and hilarious conversation about all things second-time parenthood. From the delivery room to diaper duty, they’re pulling back the curtain on what really goes down behind closed (hospital) doors.

Luke shares the guy’s perspective on the delivery room — the surprises, the nerves, and how to show up without feeling helpless when you’re not the one giving birth or breastfeeding. They talk openly about their hopes and fears heading into life with a newborn and a toddler, and how they’re planning to divide and conquer when baby #2 arrives.

Rachel opens up about what she’s looking forward to once pregnancy ends (Lucia literally can’t remember her not being pregnant!), and together they bust a few parenting myths while reflecting on what they’ve learned so far. And in a vulnerable twist, they ask the big question: Has being pregnant for most of their marriage changed their relationship?

Whether you're a new parent, expecting, or just love hearing couples keep it real — this episode will have you laughing, nodding, and maybe even tearing up. Let’s get into it.

This week on the RL Podcast, we dive into the TikTok trend that boldly claims redheads are actually Black—yep, you read that right. We unpack the internet's hottest (and weirdest?) take, share what it was really like growing up as a redhead, and talk about how this identity shaped us.

Then we shift gears into all things bump-life: Rachel gives us the scoop on her recent maternity photoshoot and answers your pregnancy Qs—from her go-to products to the weirdest symptoms no one warned her about.

Whether you're here for ginger discourse or baby advice, this episode brings the laughs, the honesty, and the real talk you didn’t know you needed.

 This week on The RL, Rachel and Liv are getting extra real in the wake of the St. Louis tornado—because if the power’s out, the honesty better be on. The girls dive into what it really means to stay connected with your partner (hello, five minutes of uninterrupted eye contact). Plus, they settle the important stuff—like who’s bringing Rachel a spicy margarita to the hospital post-birth, and why if we’re going to drink, we’re drinking to feel it. Storms, feelings, and full glasses—this one’s got it all.

If you’ve ever been curious, confused, or just straight-up creeped out by the aesthetics industry, this episode is your go-to guide for the science behind the needles.
