Finding Joy When Life Doesn't Go as Planned | Rachel Awtrey

Today on the show, I sat down with my new friend Rachel Awtrey. Rachel is so much fun and truly a joy to be around. She and I get extremely practical on how to live a joyful life when it is hard. We also dive into how to make friendships and how being awkward is the new normal. Yes, we definitely get into how happy people might feel weird at church. This episode is all the things and more!If Rachel is new to you, she is an online encourager based out of Birmingham, Alabama. She is admittedly obsessed with my friends and sharing bits and pieces of my life. She wears a lot of hats these days including mama to two boys, military wife, blogger, podcast host and more. You can find her behind the microphone at Real Talk with Rach where we talk about everything from jeans to Jesus, playlists to pop culture, the good and the grief and everything in between.Episode 3 is also available with Jess Wolstenhom. Jess played a large role in the content development for the new David film that was just in theaters. You also get access for free to the Easter Minno Kid’s Special in the show notes AND she gives us a wealth of information on how to talk to our kids about scripture.. . . .Let's Be Friends!Instagram: Instagram.com/womenofjoyFacebook: facebook.com/womenofjoy. . . .Purchase Rachel’s Book:Love Your Life Even When You Don’t Like It Learn more about Rachel: https://rachelawtrey.com/. . . .Join us for our spring/summer online women’s bible study at: christianwomensbiblestudy.com. . . .Join us at a Women of Joy LIVE event:Check out the spring tour: https://womenofjoy.org/eventsEven better, you know you want to cruise with us in 2027: https://womenofjoy.org/cruise-event/cruise-2027. . . . .Join us for our spring/summer online women’s bible study at: christianwomensbiblestudy.com. . . . .Check Out the Women of Joy STORE:https://women-of-joy.myshopify.com/
