    In this episode of The Decoding Social Life Podcast, we sit down with Rachael Frost to dive deep into what it truly means to become “That Girl” without losing yourself along the way. Rachael opens up about her journey, starting with her incredible top 10 finish at the Miss Colorado USA pageant and the lessons she learned from stepping into such a competitive environment.

We also explore how Rachael built the confidence to embrace who she is, even when faced with doubt and uncertainty. She reflects on the importance of finding encouragement from peers, the role that community plays in growth, and how these experiences inspired her to share her story more openly.  At the heart of our conversation is her new book, Becoming That Girl Without Losing Yourself, which is both a reflection of her journey and a guide for women who want to pursue self-improvement without sacrificing authenticity. This episode is about more than just pageants, careers, or relationships—it’s about resilience, identity, and the balance between striving to be your best while staying true to who you are. Whether you’re chasing a big dream, working on building confidence, or simply trying to figure out the next step in your life, Rachael’s story will inspire you to keep moving forward without compromising yourself.  Connect with her: @RACHAELFROSTOFFICIAL Connect with us: @DECODINGSOCIALIFEPODCAST @EVENTSBYDSL https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38070615/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/decoding-social-life--6139708/support.
