038: Why You Need Mom Friends AKA A “Girl Gang” With Rachel Awtrey

Keep scrolling to read the episode show notes from the Why You Need Mom Friends AKA A “Girl Gang” With Rachel Awtrey podcast episode!

Welcome back, girl gang! In this episode, I have on podcaster and joy seeker Rachel Awtrey. We chatted about why you need mom friends, how to get them, being authentic on social media and in podcasting, practical ways to work on your marriage or your relationship with Christ, & more!

Fun fact: I was on Rachel’s podcast before I even really knew what podcasting was. She so beautifully lives the mind, body, and spirit connection and is 100% authentic. She is actively living her faith and shares everything from what she learns in counseling to her everyday conversations. She calls herself an “online encourager,” – and I love that so much.

I’m super excited she was able to join me on the show, and I hope you find encouragement in her words!
