Summary
What do you do when your life looks fine on the outside… but deep down, you’re wondering, “Is this really it?”
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Rachel Awtrey—host of the Real Talk with Rachel podcast and author of her brand new book, Love Your Life, Even When You Don’t Like It. Rachel is the girl you want in your corner: deeply honest, wildly encouraging, and somehow able to make you laugh and cry in the same breath.
We talk about what it looks like to actually love your life when it feels boring, heavy, or just plain hard. Not in a cheesy, throw-a-gratitude-journal-at-it kind of way—but in a real, boots-on-the-ground, Jesus-meets-you-in-the-middle kind of way.
Rachel shares:
• Why honesty is the doorway to freedom
• How to hold grief and gratitude at the same time
• The difference between joy for life and joy in life
• And the questions that helped her stop faking “fine” and start living free
If you’ve ever felt guilty for not loving the season you’re in—or if you’ve ever whispered “I love Jesus but I kind of hate this part of my life right now”—this episode is a safe, sacred space for you.
You don’t have to love every part of your life to love your whole life. This conversation will show you how.

| 0:00.0 | Hey friend, welcome to the Let's Be Clear podcast. I'm your host, Clear Cherry Reeves. I'm a wife, mom, |
| 0:09.2 | creator of the clearly stated brand, author, speaker, and professional over user of exclamation marks. |
| 0:16.4 | But that's because, spoiler alert, talking about Jesus and the ways that he is moving in our everyday lives makes me so excited. |
| 0:26.9 | Around here, we believe two things. |
| 0:29.4 | One, you are immeasurably loved and liked by Jesus just as you are. |
| 0:34.6 | And two, it's our absolute joy to call out where we see him radiating in you, |
| 0:41.5 | especially when you struggle to see it. |
| 0:44.6 | Life just hits differently when you see it from a heavenly perspective, doesn't it? |
| 0:48.7 | So let's dig deep and chase after that abundant life God has for us. |
| 0:54.1 | I'm clear, and this is the Let's Be Clear podcast. |
| 0:58.3 | Let's get started. |
| 1:03.5 | Oh, my goodness. |
| 1:09.5 | Today's guest is one of my dearest, dearest friends. And I truly need that. She is a |
| 1:15.1 | girl's girl. She is the kind of friend who doesn't just show up. She rallies the troops. And you |
| 1:20.5 | will understand rally in a little bit. Brings her snacks. Remembers what you said three months ago and |
| 1:26.1 | somehow makes you feel like you're her |
| 1:27.8 | only priority in the world. She has this incredible, almost unreasonable ability to gather women, |
| 1:34.2 | encourage them, and call out the gold in them, whether that's on her podcast, in her home, |
| 1:39.4 | in the grocery store aisle, or in the middle of a messy, beautiful Tuesday. |
| 1:48.9 | And now she's given that same energy, heart, and holy honesty to the world through her brand new book, Love Your Life, even when you don't like it all the time, which |
