    #057 She Raised Them. She Survived. They Are Becoming.

    What happens when you hand the microphone to someone you trust and give them full permission to take the conversation wherever they want?Well… this. In today’s episode, Helana Griggs flips the script and interviews me. Yep. I had zero idea what she was going to ask, and honestly? That made it even better. Helana showed up the way only she can real, fun, unfiltered, and full of heart. And what followed was a long, rich, laughter-sprinkled conversation about life, motherhood, healing, survival, becoming, and the sacred work we do when no one’s clapping yet. We talk about raising kids while losing yourself and finding yourself again… surviving seasons that should have taken you out… and becoming the kind of woman who can finally say,“She raised them. She survived. And they are becoming.” If you love honest stories, hard-won wisdom, and conversations that feel like the best kind of therapy-without-the-couch, this one’s for you.

    #055 Part 3 The Brutiful Conclusion

    🎙️ Part Three: The Brutiful Conclusion After a long road of healing, retelling, and a few editing hiccups along the way (thanks for hanging in there, friends 😅), here it is Part Three, the short but powerful conclusion to Adam’s story. This final part may be brief, but it’s full, full of gratitude, reflection, and the reminder that even in the aftermath of life’s explosions, beauty really can rise from the ashes. If you’ve been following this journey, we can’t thank you enough for walking it with us your messages, prayers, and patience have meant the world. ❤️ If you missed the earlier episodes, take a moment to go back and listen to Part One and Part Two — they set the stage for everything God has done through this miracle story. Because what we’ve learned through it all is this:Faith, Hope and Love doesn’t just survive the fire it’s refined by it. 🔥💛 Rachel Lohr! Xoxo

    #054 Part 2 Adam Shares His Story

    🎙️ Episode Update: A Little Delay, A Lot of Heart Hey friends! first, thank you for your patience! ❤️ I know it’s been a long wait for Part Two of Adam and me sharing his incredible journey after the accident. Trust me, I’ve been just as eager to get it out to you! We ran into some unexpected technical and editing challenges (aka: the not-so-glamorous side of podcasting 😅). Between lost files, audio hiccups, and life doing what life does, this one has taken a bit longer to piece together. But good news it’s finally coming your way! 🙌 And because there was so much story still left to tell, there will now be a short Part Three to wrap it all up beautifully. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, go back and relisten to Part One or share it with someone who needs a little hope and a reminder that miracles still happen. That first episode lays the foundation for everything that follows, and it’s worth another listen. Thank you for being part of this journey with me your support, encouragement, and grace mean more than you know. 💛 Rachel Lohr! Xoxo

    #053 Part 1 Adam's Shares His Story; It Didn’t End When the Fire Went Out

    In September 2023, my husband Adam was in a horrific explosion—an event that changed everything in an instant. In this two-part episode, we’re sharing the story for the very first time. The fire may be out, but what followed was just as hard—emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and relationally. In Part One, we tell the story of that day: what happened, how he survived, and the miracles that still leave us speechless. In Part Two, we open up about the aftermath—the invisible scars. We talk about the toll it took on our marriage, Adam’s mental health, and our faith. We share what we fought for, what we had to rebuild, and how God met us in the ashes. This is a story of fire and survival—but also of restoration, redemption, and love that wouldn’t quit. Because it didn’t end when the fire went out.

    #051 "Cutting Through the Years"

    🎙️ Episode #051 – Hair Through the Generations with Helana Griggs This week, I’m joined by a very special guest: the talented and rising stylist Helana Griggs—who just happens to be my son Jaxson’s girlfriend and my co-worker at Cocopellies! We’re pulling back the salon curtain to talk about what it’s like being a hairstylist in two totally different eras—me, starting out in 1995, and Helana, stepping into the beauty industry now. We’re sharing stories, laughing about trends that made a comeback (hello, butterfly clips), and talking about how the industry has changed—from building a clientele to the power of social media. This episode is fun, heartfelt, and full of love for the craft of doing hair—and the unexpected connections it brings. Whether you're a seasoned stylist, a client who loves the salon chair, or someone who's just here for the laughs, you're going to love this one. 🎧 Listen now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. helanagriggs.hair

    #050 "I Would Have Missed The Dance"

    🎙️ I Would Have Missed the Dance (A My Brutiful Life Reflection) In this deeply personal and raw episode of My Brutiful Life, I open my heart to share my journal entries written to my late husband, Shon—a man she spent over three decades of her life with. In the quiet, unexpected waves of grief, beauty begins to rise again. Through tears, truth, and remembrance, I honor the complexity of my story—the brutal and the beautiful. I reflect on the dance we once shared, the legacy Shon left behind, and the freedom I now get to walk in. This episode is for anyone navigating grief, forgiveness, or the ache of unfinished stories. Because even in the heartbreak, there was still a dance worth remembering.
