Listener Reviews

I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning! I always look forward to hearing new episodes every week. Rachel is such a positive light and always shares so much wisdom! Every episode is so relatable and I always walk away learning something new!

I love that each guest brings something completely unique to the show and it has helped me hear truth from so many different perspectives. A great listen!!

This podcast is a must listen. I found Rachel on Instagram and soon discovered this life-changing podcast. As a college student who’s looking on guidance as I am figuring out the world and trying to build a Christ-centered life, Rachel and her guests feel like big sisters to me, sharing their wisdom and insights. There are so many gems in each podcast - I can’t listen to it while I’m multitasking because I’ve learned I love to sit and journal with it to be able to catch everything ♥️

Every time I go on a plane or a long drive, I make sure to download several episodes of BTB. The conversations cover so many interesting topics and always leave me feeling understood and encouraged!

Love tuning into this podcast every week! Thought provoking and challenging. It’s a great way to set your mind on things above.

This is such a great podcast to listen to whether you’re studying or on a road trip. Love listening to what God has placed on Rachel’s heart and hearing from the many guests she has on the podcast as well!

I started listening to Behind the Bliss when I joined Orange Theory Fitness and have a bit of a drive several days a week. I LOVE Rachel and feel like she talks to all of her listeners like we’re sitting across from her having coffee! I have gained so many golden nuggets about faith, marriage and just life! The way Rachel lives out her faith while also being so raw and honest is inspiring. I’ve suggested this podcast to so many friends - so if you’ve been needing a favorite new podcast, look no further! 🙌🏻

I’ve been listening to Behind the Bliss since it started and I love the message of each episode. I listen to feel uplifted and seen. Thank you for what you do, Rachel!

Always walk away feeling enlightened, inspired, and just a little more joyful. Highly recommend!

I’ve been a listener since September 2018 – a wedding photographer I follow was a guest (s/o Jessi Nichols!!) Since listening to her episode I jumped in binging the first 18 episodes. I’ve been a fan ever since. Rachel sheds light on some hard to talk about topics, she steps in and fills the gap. If you’re questioning whether this podcast is for you, hit the subscribe button!

I listened to this podcast for the first time tonight and wow, I was missing out! Rachel is so genuine and easy to relate to! She uses aspects of her life and marriage to speak about faith without seeming exclusive or pushy. I love her advice and stories, you should definitely give this podcast a try!

New at following and encourage all to do the same! Wished I had found sooner 💗

I only recently discovered Behind the Bliss and I sooo wish I would’ve known about it sooner! This podcast has truly been a comfort and inspiration. I don’t know how Rachel does it but it really feels like she’s talking to me personally in every episode. Definitely my new favorite podcast!

Getting engaged and moving to Birmingham was exciting but also one of the hardest seasons of my life. Leaving my job, friends and church behind along with my identity was HARD. Listening to this podcast with guest speaker Whitney McIntosh hit home. I was not the only one feeling as if I God was “sitting me out out on the bench” for a season. That’s when I knew this podcast was for me- If you are craving quality girl time to talk about life and Jesus- this is the podcast! Rachel is the friend you never knew you needed! Such a good listen.

To the podcast lover searching for a genuine podcast that is so filling for your soul. Rachel brings it EVERY WEEK 👏🏻 SO MUCH TRUTH. SO MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT. I have listened since day one and Rachel truly works so hard to genuinely find guests every week to encourage us and share truth with us. It’s so refreshing to have a “real talk” podcast. Give it a listen 💛

If you are looking for something that can help you when you are feeling low or need a little encouragement, this is the show for you! There are fun and lighthearted topics. There are also really serious and intellectually challenging topics that they cover too! It’s a great way to spend an hour of your day!

Love this podcast! Rachel is so real and knows how to talk about the hard stuff as well as have fun!

I love this podcast. I highly recommend it for anyone that needs encouragement. I turned to BTB when I was struggling and listening to the words of Rachel and the guests speak about the Lord and their journey has been amazing and impactful on my journey with the Lord. Thank you for brightening my day! 💛💛💛

This podcast has truly helped me to feel less alone and seen in so many hard seasons of life. The hosts now feel like my virtual best buddies, though we’ve never met. 10/10 recommend this fantastic, honest, truthful, encouraging podcast!!!

First time tuning in and I will definitely be back! There is something so wonderful about women being brave enough to speak honestly within a community. Incredibly affirming to be a part of tonight. Thank you!

I’m new to this podcast, but after watching just one episode, know it will become my absolute favorite!! Rachel is so real and so sweet and makes the most beautiful connections between the Lord and life around us. The perfect mix of reassurance, faith, humor and real life and I am so here for it!!

This is one of my favorite podcasts & definitely my favorite for strengthening my faith and encouraging me! Rachel is so real and has guest that give a relatable message every episode! It’s really is talking about all things behind the bliss & is rooted in the Lord!

I decided to listen to the most recent episode this afternoon before watching the live episode because of Kate from Lonestar Southern. Needless to say, I am now a subscriber! Rachel is so encouraging and brings on inspiring guests. This is the type of content I need to fill my day with!

If you want a podcast where the host CARES about YOU the listener and I promise you prays for her listeners and thinks about your best interest and what you want to hear!! BEHIND THE BLISS is for you! Amazing, real, raw, filled with TRUTH and Rachel is just SO fun and brings on the best guests! Get ready to hear a message from the mess of life and hear the real and raw conversations of amazing influential people going through the highs and lows of life and following the Lord through it all! “Be more obsessed with the listeners of the podcast and not the podcast itself!” -Rachel Awtrey, the host y’all, she’s hear you serve you!!!!!
