Rachel Awtrey

weekly fave moments mixed with my fave recent episodes on @realtalkwithrachelawtrey!! Sooo many good ones from lots of women I admire 🫶🏼🤍 personal details shared that otherwise wouldn’t be online and lots of funny moments I hope I never forget 🥹🎧🌸

“What you feed will grow” has wrecked me. In every area of life - If all I ever talk about is how hard things are, possibly that’s all I’ll ever see. When I start to mention, call out, take note, share what is bringing me life – I start seeing more life. So, in the spirit of transparency, here’s a glimpse of my running list of joy. I’m finding around me. It has been the anchor for my gratitude and can’t help, but be so overwhelmed with things that Jesus has given me a new perspective of life, even in the midst of the difficult parts. Try it with me? What would be on your list? 🫶🏼

The further out you get, the more perspective you gain - funks don’t last forever but they can be the worst when they happen! 7 ways to get out of a funk are on this week podcast episode on @realtalkwithrachelawtrey and they’re things you can do RIGHT 👏🏼NOW 👏🏼

“How did I just find this show?!?” It’s probably one of our most common messages! I would do anything to get this podcast in the headphones of every girl that needs a pal, a good laugh, and a good peptalk while she’s on her walk, getting ready, doing chores. It’s not possible for me to sit across the table and share a cup of coffee with each and every person on the Internet as much as I would want to, but this podcast was a passion project full-time gig because I believe in its mission: To make the joy and presence of Jesus so practical and so tangible from real life stories, intense, and silly, and with the help of my friends and experts talk about topics that are taboo or leave us with questions that we are all probably wondering. @realtalkwithrachelawtrey talks about it all! Fashion, sex, home decor, trends, finances, friendship, grief, miscarriage, pregnancy, birth, all of it! A new episode drops every Wednesday!! Search “Real Talk with Rachel Awtrey” on your favorite podcast platforms 🤍🫶🏼🎧 PS this latest episode with Dr. Alison Cook (@dralisoncook) absolutely rocked my world! She made it all makes sense when it comes to how to take care of our minds!

this week: front porch blooms | swinging | “dog dog” | wedding dates and champagne toasts | the city we love | farmers market strawberries | rained out baseball games | brave boy feeding giraffes | bed head | my little reader 🫶🏼

It’s true 🤍 here’s what we looked for: - swings in front yard, playsets, bikes laying in the front yard, proof of kids - were people out walking? Assuming it was a good day? But, truth be told, we bought this house sight unseen via FaceTime SOOOOOO we didn’t know what goodness we were stepping into. So when we moved in, here’s what we did to make friends: - be willing to say “hey” first (@katy__tucker remember when yall said hey at the park?? 🤪) - ask them questions that actually make a convo, not just yes and no questions - if you haven’t met them, do the old school thing - make them something or bring them a happy with your name + phone number + address so they know how to connect. - go to neighborhood events!!! I can’t tell you how much of a blessing our neighborhood has been to me - I want something similar for everyone!
