  • Big Sis Advice I’d Give You If I Wasn’t Afraid of Hurting Your Feelings

    Big Sis Advice I’d Give You If I Wasn’t Afraid of Hurting Your Feelings
    Jun 26 2026
    In this heartfelt and unfiltered episode, Rachel Awtrey sits down to share the kind of big sister wisdom most of us wish someone had told us sooner. With her signature blend of warmth, wit, and straight talk, Rachel tackles the lies we believe about our worth, our bodies, and our calling — and replaces them with truth that sets us free. From why you should stop shrinking to make others comfortable, to how to pray and set boundaries at the same time, Rachel delivers a powerful reminder that you are already loved, already enough, and already equipped to step into the life God has for you. If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, people-pleasing, fear of taking the next step, or wondering if your life really makes an impact — this episode is for you.

  • The One Habit That's Spicy but Will Build (or Break) You

    The One Habit That's Spicy but Will Build (or Break) You
    May 13 2026
    For real: staying stuck is hard. Overthinking is hard. Avoiding the conversation, the decision, the leap - it's literally all hard. So the real question isn't how do I make life easier? It's which hard am I actually choosing? In this episode, Rachel unpacks why discomfort isn't a stop sign my girl!! This is an invitation. She walks through the brain science of the avoidance loop (why dodging hard things actually makes the fear bigger), what dopamine, distress tolerance, and neuroplasticity (oooooh big word) have to do with the life you say you want, and why Scripture has been telling us this all along. You'll hear the stories of Amelia Earhart, Winston Churchill, and Corrie ten Boom three very different people who all learned the same thing: you don't rise to the level of your intentions, you rise to the level of what you've trained yourself to handle. She also gives you a simple, doable weekly practice. Think like small, intentional, on-purpose hard things in four areas (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) so you stop waiting until you "feel ready" and start building the capacity for the life you're actually asking God for. If you've been quietly wondering why you keep stalling out on the thing you know you're supposed to do, this one's for you.
