    Episode 37: Behind the Live: Life in the Digital Age | Nicole Amador

    Sometimes a simple TikTok live can lead to a conversation you never expected. In this episode of Talkin’ with Rainey, I sit down with Nicole Amador, someone I first came across through her TikTok lives. We had never met before, but something about her genuine personality and the way she connects with people caught my attention. What started as an online connection turned into a real conversation about life, loss, relationships, social media, and the people we meet along the way. Nicole opens up about experiencing the loss of people she loved, including her boyfriend and her mother, and we talk about how those experiences can change the way you see life. This is a conversation about what happens when we look beyond the screen and get to know the real person behind the live. Because sometimes the people we meet unexpectedly end up having the stories we were meant to hear. ☕ Real stories. Real people. Real conversations. Peace and much love, I’ll talk to you soon.

    Episode 33: What You Go Through is Preparing You…Not Punishing You

    ARE WE LIVING… OR JUST SCROLLING? We wake up, we scroll. We eat, we scroll. We sit with people we love… and sometimes we’re still scrolling. But somewhere between the endless videos, opinions, notifications, and comparing our lives to everyone else’s… are we missing the life happening right in front of us? In Episode 33 of Talkin’ with Rainey, I’m getting real about slowing down, being present, protecting our peace, and remembering that life is meant to be lived—not just watched through a screen. Grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and let’s talk.

    Episode 17: Behind the Shades: Love, Standards & Relationships | Guest Rattlesnake Roy

    No filters. No pretending. Just raw honesty. Rattlesnake Roy opened up about what he’s been through in relationships, the lessons that changed him, and what he’s truly looking for now — a woman who’s intelligent, fun, grounded in faith, and genuinely brings peace into his life. We talked about modern dating, loyalty, emotional safety, heartbreak, standards, and why real connection feels rare today. This one is honest, unfiltered, funny, deep… and definitely a conversation people will relate to.

    Episode 32: Jacob Saenz Sr. | Called to Serve: The Story of a State Trooper

    There’s a lot more to wearing the badge than what people see on the outside. On this episode of Talkin’ with Rainey, I sit down with State Trooper Jacob Saenz Sr. to talk about his journey, his experiences, the responsibility that comes with serving others, and what it really means to put on that uniform every day. We talk about the sacrifices, the challenges, the people behind the badge, and the moments that remind you why you chose to serve in the first place. This is a conversation about service, courage, family, purpose, and being there for people when they need you most. I hope this episode gives you a different perspective on the person behind the badge and reminds you to appreciate the men and women who choose to serve and protect their communities.

    Episode 31: Charles Bustos | Running Toward the Fire: What It Really Takes to Be a Firefighter

    What does it REALLY take to be a firefighter? It’s more than the uniform. More than the badge. More than running toward the fire when everyone else is running away. This week on Talkin’ with Rainey, I sit down with Charles Bustos, a firefighter from Albuquerque, NM, as he opens up about his journey, his experiences, the sacrifices, the challenges, and what it truly takes to do this job. 🚒 It takes courage. 🚒 It takes discipline. 🚒 It takes heart. 🚒 It takes sacrifice. 🚒 And sometimes, it takes facing things that most people will never see. But behind every firefighter is a person with a story—and Charles shares his.
