Welcome back, girl gang! In this episode, I have on podcaster and joy seeker Rachel Awtrey. We chatted about having other mom friends – like why you need them and how to get them –being authentic on social media and in podcasting, practical ways to work on a marriage or your relationship with Christ, & more! Fun fact: I was on Rachel’s podcast before I even really knew what podcasting was. She so beautifully lives the mind, body, and spirit connection and is 100% authentic. She is actively living her faith and shares everything from what she learns in counseling to her everyday conversations. She calls herself an “online encourager,” – and I love that so much. I’m super excited she was able to join me on the show, and I hope you find encouragement in her words! In this episode, we discuss: How Rachel intentionally finds Christian friends when moving The good and bad of social media and real-life relationships How to come to grips with your identity and who you are in Christ What the Behind the Bliss journey has looked like and how it's affected Rachel’s identity How to choose joy with a heavy heart Finding your girl gang Practical ways to do the hard work in marriage, work, and your relationship with Christ Rachel's encouragement to balance all the things Resources from this Episode: Rachel's Instagram Behind The Bliss Podcast Rachel’s Website Heather's Meal Planning Ebook Bundle Find Your People by Jennie Allen Heather's Instagram Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.
