I've ruled out uni because I want to live at home.

I've ruled out uni because I want to earn money.

I've ruled out uni because of my grades.

another beloved friend to the show, Rachel Autry. I would do a drum roll sound, but I can't do it.

I can't even whistle, you guys. That's another thing right out of the gate.

I'm just going to admit to you. I'm not ashamed, but we are so excited to have a conversation

about joy and loving your life even when you don't like it. That is like one of the realest things

I've heard in a long time. We have had Rachel on the show before, though. We talked about

like the favorite things we're loving. Since then, Rachel and I have actually like met in person, got a hang out. That was so fun. Like it is so, like, it's such like a heartwarming thing for me to say. Like, not just like I know you from Instagram or I know you from like texting, but like I know you in real life. And it's been so sweet the

past couple years. So I'm getting ahead of myself. Rachel, reintroduce yourself to those who are

listening. Tell us about who you are, what you do. And just like you do on your show, tell us

the favorite thing that you're loving in this current season of life. Oh my gosh. You're so sweet.

No, for real. I love this world, like this being

what we do because it brings me for it. It's like, how else do you have a conversation with

someone so deep, so rich, so intimate about like soul-filled things and not walk away friends?

So I just feel like I've made so many friends, you being one of

them and, oh, you're a delight. You're a trip. It's so fun. Hi. Hi. I mean Rachel. Being on this side of the microphone is always so funny because I'm like, what, how? It is jarring. It's like, oh, wait, I'm used to asking the questions and now I have to like condense myself. Don't condense yourself, girl. Tell us the things. Okay. Here's a Spark Notes version. My name's Rachel. I am a mama. I have two little

boys. I am a boy mom, I should say. And I have a husband. His name's Thomas. He is in the military.
