Listener Reviews

I found this podcast just a week ago, and I’ve loved listening and feeling like I’m connecting with a new friend over fashion, Africa, marriages, mom life! Such a fun and easy listen!

I found this podcast in late November/early December and it has been reshaping my mind in the best ways since! I work in ministry and though it is an amazing job and full of so much joy, fun, and love, it also can be really overwhelming, heavy, and hard-especially as a mom of 2 young kids and trying to juggle all life throws my way. God has been speaking to me, through Rachel and this pod-reminding me that joy is part of who I am and does not depend on my circumstances. Listen to just one episode and I bet you start to feel that too. I’m so excited to continue catching up on past episodes and looking forward to the future of this podcast as well! 🩷

This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites! Rachel's delivery is the perfect combination of boldness & gentleness! Get ready to be encouraged, challenged & laugh along the way! I appreciate you, Rachel!

The JOYFUL episode was so much fun! Thanks for sharing heart-lifting content that doesn’t feel fussy. 🥰

New to this pod and I love it. It’s like the friend/sister saying the things you need to hear while also inspiring you. Loving it!

I’ve been listening to this podcast since the very first episodes were released, and it’s still one of my favorites. It feels very comfortable and familiar at this point, like a hometown restaurant or coffee shop that you go to so often the staff is like your family and they know exactly what your order is. What I like so much about Real Talk is that Rachel is someone who understands the sting of grief and suffering, but has a deep passion for joy and the beautiful—and it’s because she is full of the Lord’s goodness. Just give it a listen. <3

Feels like I’m talking to a real life friend! It’s funny, lighthearted, deep and all the things in between. You’ll walk away a better human because of it 🤍

I’ve been loving Real Talk with Rachel… og behind the bliss fan. It’s like listening to a friend who’s not afraid to go there… but still makes you feel seen and encouraged. She somehow balances honesty, truth, and humor so well. I always walk away thinking about something deeper, but also smiling. Highly recommend if you want something real, refreshing, and just easy to listen to.

Love when a new Real Talk episode drops each week! It feels like I’m just listening to a conversation in my living room in the best way. Rachel and her guests are encouraging in parenting, in faith and in life and I finish every episode with a little more energy than when I started! A must listen!

Ever wanted a podcast that felt like a hug, an inside joke, and an accountability partner all in one? Look no further. Rachel is the best and she has the best guests. Real Talk is the real deal! 🫶🏻

This podcast, yall! 😍 Rachel, her guests, the topics she covers… so good. I’ve listened from the very beginning 🥹Real Talk will be a fast favorite and you’ll find it regularly at the top of your podcast list. The stories & conversations shared spark so much JOY ✨ We love you Rachel and thank you for creating one of the most fun and meaningful podcasts out there! 🫶

Real talk is the best! Rachel is such a light and a joy to listen to! Love love love!

I’ve been listening to Rachel since the “Behind the Bliss” days. When I started my first teaching job, I listened to her going to work and now I listen to her around the house as a SAHM, doing dishes, car rides, basically all the time! 🙃 Honestly, her podcast is what got me started on listening to podcasts! Real Talk is what I click on (or is it tap nowadays? Hehe) anyways - it’s what I listen to when I get a free minute! It’s authentic and fresh air compared to other podcasts. Give it a listen!

Love how real she gets and doesn’t pretend to have life together. She has hard things and discussed them. Great encouragement when you’re going through hard too

Listening in with Rachel has been so fun and life-giving for me. Sometimes in throws of motherhood it’s hard to sit down and have a good chat with a friend, but that’s the vibe this podcast is giving. Challenging, funny, bestie fr.

Absolutely love this podcast Rachel is hands down the greatest human and love all her guests!

This podcast is so so life giving. I look forward to listening each week. I feel like I’m besties with Rachel even though I’ve never met her🤣 Rachel is so real, wise, & encouraging & has helped strengthen my walk with Christ SO much!! Can’t recommend this podcast enough, I talk about it and reference it all the time!! 🩷

so real and raw!! love listening each week and hearing truth!

Rachel’s podcast is like listening to your best friend, who is also full of wit and wisdom. You can find me listening whenever I get a chance - in the car or on a walk - I love what Rachel brings to us! She also has the best guests to chat with. You need this podcast in your life!

I’ve been listening to Rachel for years and have been so blessed by her wisdom, authenticity, and spiritual gifts!! Her podcast feels like listening to advice from a big sister — I’ve learned such invaluable lessons from her, from friendship, to marriage, to joy in the Lord! Cannot recommend listening to RTWRA enough 💘

This podcast feels like a convo with a friend. 10/10!

Rachel (and her friend Emily) are the best friends you wish you had in real life! This show is so fun and uplifting! Pointing you to Christ with everyday topics about life. I’ve been a listener since 2019 and seriously have loved watching this podcast grow!

I know that in every season I need this podcast! Whether I need some extra joy or someone to remind me of His faithfulness during painful seasons, it’s always uplifting. The guests are always in alignment with the mission of joy and christianity. Rachel has a way of making you feel apart of a sisterhood, I’ll always recommend 🫶🏻
