About this episode

Rachel Awtrey reflects on the transition from 2025 to 2026, discussing themes of joy, faith, and intentional living.

Pull up a chair and let’s talk. 🤍 In this cozy solo episode of Real Talk, I’m taking you with me as I close the door on 2025 and crack open 2026 with honesty, intentionality, and with a lot of heart! I’m sharing what I’m carrying forward (hello, momentum with margin), what I’m leaving behind (looking at you, hustle culture 👋), and how I’m thinking about joy, faith, purpose, and community in this next season. We’ll talk about choosing depth over noise, letting joy be a practice instead of just a personality, honoring the season you’re actually in, and why rushing, over-explaining, and all-or-nothing thinking are officially off the guest list. This episode is less about reinvention and more about refinement slow steps, real grace, and trusting that small, faithful choices add up over time. I’m also giving you a little sneak peek at what’s coming next: a fresh look and feel for the podcast, upcoming travel (including Kenya!!! 🤍), new speaking opportunities, and what’s stirring in my heart as I begin writing my second book. If you’re heading into 2026 craving more joy, more clarity, and a little permission to move at a human pace this one’s for you. Come sit with me! CONNECT…
