What it REALLY Means to be a Mommy Blogger with Rachel Sobel

Even on a good day, motherhood is really hard. Case in point: for today’s episode of Dope Ass Podcast, both Andrea and her special guest Rachel Sobel of Whine and Cheez(Its) ( https://whineandcheezits.com/ ) recorded in their closets. C’est la vie when you’re both a mom and a brand. Andrea and Rachel unpack the negative association they both have with the term “mommy blogger” and then launch into a candid conversation about everything from protecting kids on social media to coming to terms with the crushing mom guilt that comes along with divorce. Rachel also shares her favorite songs that immediately make her turn into a stripper, why twerking is just another incarnation of booty dancing, and how her kids have become the trendsetters in her life. Finally, Rachel shares her biggest advice: motherhood is personal, so stop caring about other people’s advice.

After working many years in public relations and communications, she decided she had enough after one particularly bad experience that made her question what the eff she was doing. She stopped with the “what ifs” and hatched a plan to leave the confines of a cubicle and live her dream as a full-time writer. (In her dream she was thinner, richer and had much more clothing without spatterings of spit-up and breast milk, but beggars can’t be choosers.) On the Dope Ass Podcast, Andrea Levoff ( https://www.andrealevoff.com ) and her roster of hilarious, inspirational, and always-opinionated guests are tackling everything from motherhood to fashion to travel and spirituality---with a seriously dope ass lens.
