What To Do When You Don’t Like Your Life Ft. Rachel Awtrey
I got to sit down with my sweet friend Rachel Awtrey to talk about what it really means to love your life—even when you don’t like it all the time. We went deep into the hard stuff: grief, spiritual warfare, motherhood, friendship, and how to CHOOSE joy as a daily practice. Rachel opens up about the loss of her father, writing her book through a miscarriage, and building joy as a skill, not just a feeling.
We also chatted about the lies we believe about "balance," how to find friends in a new season, and why being present is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. This episode is for the girl who’s tired, overwhelmed, and maybe wondering if this is all life has to offer. Joy is available—and worth fighting for.
