    "Where'd Rachel Go?" | Some Things Are Private… But Let’s Talk Anyway!
    Apr 1 2026
    I’ve been a little MIA - and yes, I’m going to talk about it but also no, I’m not telling you everything 😅 Before you worry, everyone is healthy, my marriage is strong, and things are okay. But life has shifted in a way that requires a little more privacy, a little more wisdom, and a lot more trust. In this episode, I’m sharing what I can like including why not everything belongs on the front porch, how I’m navigating boundaries while still showing up online, and what this season is teaching me. We’re also diving into a JOYFUL Report (you know I love these) from random current obsessions to deeper lessons about receiving help and letting go. And I’ll take you with me to Colorado, where I had one of the sweetest reminders that I don’t always need answers from God, sometimes I just need to sit with Him.
