Listener Reviews

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 🫶🏻

I love Rachel’s joy and pep she brings to everything she does! She interviews top notch people and her podcasts are always encouraging and fun!

So grateful for Rachel’s podcast and the authentic conversations with her guests

Real Talk brings joy to my day and encouragement to my life. I love the honest conversations and the Christian perspective on the hard and beautiful things in life!

Rachel is so genuine and authentic. She isn’t afraid to break the ice on hard topics and speak the truth, but she is also so fun. Rachel tackles real topics on motherhood, friendships, faith, marriage, loss and so much more and is sure to point it all back to our Lord and bring encouragement. As a weekly listener, it feels like a cup of sunshine and a talk with a friend.

I have consistently listened to this podcast since the very beginning, and it has only gotten better with time! I have two boys now, just like Rachel, and nothing has ever been more relatable!

I really love Rachel’s podcast. Some episodes go deep and over are light and easy. It’s fun to learn amazing things to apply to your own life and also relate to fun little things like mom life or a fun new outfit. I look forward to each episode!

Every time I see a new episode from Rachel, I listen immediately! Time is never wasted when hearing what the Holy Spirit has put on her heart. She combines authentic, Biblical truths with pure joy. After listening, there’s almost always at least 1 practical takeaway that I had never thought about before. Rachel has encouraged me to live authentically as who God has called me to be.

Real Talk is hands down my favorite podcast! Rachael is so down to earth and I feel like she’s a big sister to me! Whether it’s an eposide with a comforting message or just a fun chat, this podcast is always my go to!

The “Oh and Also” episodes are my fave! Feels like chatting with a friend!

I’ve been listening to Rachel for years now and sometimes I forget I don’t actually know her in real life. She’s relatable in every area of life. It truly feels like I’ve grown up with her through young adulthood and into motherhood. She is pure joy.

So grateful for Rachel! Always encouraging and so real. Feel so seen and known by her, even from afar! Cheering you on girl!!

A podcast full of energy, positivity and honesty! This podcast is a positive energy boost each week and always leaves me with a few nuggets to use in my day to day life-as well the convos encourage my walk with Christ!

Feels like I’m talking to a real life friend! It’s funny, lighthearted, deep and all the things in between. You won’t regret listening to this! You’ll walk away a better human because of it 🤍 @courtneykblum

If I could describe Real Talk, I would say it’s like sitting & having coffee with a friend or whatever you like to do with your friends, but it’s truly like sitting down + talking with your people, talking about the hard stuff, the fun stuff, all of it! Been here since Behind the Bliss days & I love & believe in Rachel’s message! This podcast is honest, full of truth, sprinkling in laughs along the way! @summerfaithc04

I’ve been listening to Rachel for a couple years now and there’s a reason I come back week after week. She is honest, joyful, fully herself, funny, loving, forgiving, and glorifies God. I love the guests she brings on and the topics she discusses because they’re raw and real. With two littles at home, 1 of whom is medically complex, her podcast is my favorite “me time”- it’s something I look forward to!! 5 stars are not enough for a podcast that reaches so many. Thank you for creating this, Rachel! It’s life-giving!! ❤️ @kswisniewski

I love this podcast so much! It keeps me entertained while I’m driving and doing house chores. Rachel is so relatable and feels like my bff in my AirPods!! Thankful I found this podcast!! Instagram: @emmie_nic

I’ve been listening to behind the bliss since college, and now I’m married with my first baby and I can truly say behind the bliss has met me in the mess of every season of my life during the span of these 4 years or so. Rachel is so loving and her conversations are so honest and full of Jesus. I love having her voice fill my headphones or car speakers. Thank you Rachel for all you do!!! It is a joy to listen every week! Instagram: @sydney_s_brock 🥰

It always feels like you’re talking to your big sis for practical advice!! It’s such a quick and easy listen and always leaves me feeling confident + with a new skill or tip learned! Couldn’t recommend enough! @ab_nash

My heart needed this podcast! Such a sweet little pick me up to look forward to each week. As a mom in the trenches, I relate to Rachel so much and love the solidarity. OH, AND ALSO— she has the best voice memos. 🤪 @mrs.akppugh

Rachel is so down to earth, I love listening to her podcast! Always sending episodes out to friends @jeananneseagraves
