    Love Your Life—Even in the Chaos

    What if the best part of the dream wasn’t hitting the milestone—but what you do after it happens? In this special Joy Morning Show mash-up episode, Rachel brings together two powerful conversations that explore what it means to dream with God, run with resilience, and keep your heart aligned while your hands are full. Fresh off the release of her new book Love Your Life (Even When You Don’t Like It), Rachel is joined by her wise, joy-filled friends to reflect on book launch highs, navigating busy seasons without burning out, and how to partner with God through both momentum and mess.

    What to Do When You Feel Overbooked and Overwhelmed with Tara Sun

    What if rest wasn’t a reward—but the way through your overwhelm? In this honest and hope-filled episode, Rachel sits down with speaker and author Tara Sun to talk about what it really looks like to live a present, peaceful, and purpose-driven life without burning out. Together they unpack the reality so many women face: juggling faith, motherhood, work, and big dreams—while feeling overbooked and overwhelmed. Tara shares her personal journey of hitting a breaking point, how God met her there, and why the gospel isn’t about hustle—it’s about abiding. You’ll walk away with practical tools to evaluate what truly belongs in your life, how to set godly priorities, and what to do when you’re drowning in good things but still feel empty. Whether you're racing through life at 100mph or just craving more margin and meaning, this episode is your reminder that Jesus isn’t asking you to do it all—He’s asking you to walk with Him.

    Walking out Life Pivots, Changes amd Transitions with Stephanie May Wilson | Episode 338

    What if changing your mind was actually the bravest thing you could do? In this episode, Rachel sits down with Stephanie May Wilson to talk all about the power of the pivot and when life nudges (or shoves!!!) you in a totally new direction. We dig into what it looks like to pursue a calling that feels wildly different from your current path, why giving yourself permission to change is so hard (but so holy), and how to navigate transitions with faith, courage, and clarity. Whether you’re standing at a crossroads or just feeling that gentle tug to try something new, this conversation is packed with encouragement to trust the process and take the next right step.

    Big Sis Advice I’d Give You If I Wasn’t Afraid of Hurting Your Feelings | Episode 336

    In this heartfelt and unfiltered episode, Rachel Awtrey sits down to share the kind of big sister wisdom most of us wish someone had told us sooner. With her signature blend of warmth, wit, and straight talk, Rachel tackles the lies we believe about our worth, our bodies, and our calling — and replaces them with truth that sets us free. From why you should stop shrinking to make others comfortable, to how to pray and set boundaries at the same time, Rachel delivers a powerful reminder that you are already loved, already enough, and already equipped to step into the life God has for you. If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, people-pleasing, fear of taking the next step, or wondering if your life really makes an impact — this episode is for you.
