Welcome to Part One of a truly special conversation on Real Talk. Host Rachel Awtrey sits down with the one and only Annie F. Downs—beloved author, podcaster, and everyone’s favorite “Queen of Fun.” What starts as a joyful catch-up between old friends quickly opens into something deeper as they talk about what it means to hold both joy and grief in the same hand.
In this first half, you’ll hear the story of how Rachel and Annie first met, laugh at some of their classic banter (mysterious sports bras included), and gently enter the harder spaces—like navigating personal loss and the sacred timing of sharing your story. Rachel vulnerably shares her recent experience with miscarriage, while Annie offers tender reflections on co-writing Where Did TJ Go?, a children’s book about grief written after the loss of her nephew.
This is an honest, compassionate, and faith-filled conversation—and it’s just getting started. Make sure to listen all the way through and then jump into Part Two, where things go even deeper.

If you've ever felt like you're failing because your house (or your parenting) feels messy, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. I sat down with Justin Whitmel Earley — author of Habits of the Household, The Common Rule, Made for People, and now The Big Mess — to talk about why the real beauty in parenting often shows up in the chaos. We cover how birth order affects family dynamics, why things in parenthood are messier (and better) than we imagined, and how to make space for our kids (and ourselves) to be exactly who God made us to be—clumsy moments and all. If you're craving encouragement to loosen your grip and love your people well, this one's for you.

What if the breakthrough you’re craving isn’t found in doing more, shouting louder, or performing harder—but in going lower?
In today’s heartfelt and powerful episode, I’m joined by Zach Meekreebs—pastor, speaker, and author of Lower: Ignite Spiritual Awakening Through Radical Humility. We talk about how humility isn’t weakness—it’s consecrated confidence. Zach shares the behind-the-scenes story of how a quiet moment of obedience at Asbury University turned into a 16-day move of God that drew tens of thousands, and why the most profound spiritual awakenings often begin not in our strength, but in our surrender.
This episode is a gentle invitation to rethink what it means to make an impact, lead with integrity, and live in step with God’s spirit—in your business, parenting, ministry, and everyday life.

Is your mind constantly buzzing? Does the pace of life feel too loud sometimes? In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Sarah Boyd—author of Turn Down the Noise—to talk about overstimulation, emotional overload, and the subtle ways the world keeps us distracted from what really matters. We unpack how to identify your own “noise,” the neuroscience of calm, and simple but transformational practices to find clarity and peace in your everyday life.
If you’ve been craving a breath of fresh air or a little more margin, this one’s for you.

You may recognize Leigh-Allyn Baker as the hilarious mom from Good Luck Charlie on Disney Channel, but there’s so much more to her story than what we saw on screen. In this episode, Leigh-Allyn opens up about her journey through Hollywood, the courageous moments when she had to stand firm in her faith, and how God showed up in unexpected ways. We talk about what it really means to follow your convictions, even when it’s unpopular, and how creativity and purpose can bloom when the path ahead feels uncertain. This is a conversation about boldness, faith, and trusting that God makes a way—even when it looks different than we imagined.

Ever felt like life is spiraling and you’re just trying to hold on? In this episode, Levi Lusko joins me to talk about what it means to spiral—not as a sign of failure, but as an unexpected invitation to growth, grace, and greater purpose.
We dive into his new book, Blessed Are the Spiraling, and explore how disorientation can actually be divine, why losing control might be exactly what we need, and how to find steady joy in the chaos. Levi shares powerful personal stories, biblical truth, and hard-won wisdom that will leave you both comforted and challenged.
If you’ve been asking questions like Am I too late to start over?, Will this season ever end?, or Who am I without success?, this conversation is for you.
Because maybe the spiral you’re in... is the beginning of something beautiful.

You know those moments where you’re ready to throw in the towel? Like all the effort, the late nights, and the hustle have only led to burnout and the sneaky feeling that maybe it’s all downhill from here? Yeah, I’ve been there, and I know you probably have, too.
That's why I’m so excited to have Mary Marantz back on the show for the third time—and trust me, this conversation is one you need to hear. Mary’s new book, Underestimated, dives deep into the struggle of feeling like you’re constantly fighting to prove your worth, while wrestling with the fear of losing everything you’ve worked so hard for.

Friendship in adulthood can feel complicated—between busy schedules, big life changes, and just trying to keep up with everything, it’s easy for our closest relationships to take a backseat. But what if being a good friend doesn’t have to be as hard as we think?
In this episode, I’m sitting down with author, speaker, and all-around friendship encourager Grace Valentine to talk about what it really means to show up for the people we love. We dive into practical ways to build strong, lasting friendships, how to navigate seasons of distance, and why vulnerability is the key to deeper connections. Plus, Grace shares her personal experiences with friendship—both the struggles and the joys—and how she’s learned to love people well, even when life gets messy.
If you've ever felt lonely, struggled to maintain friendships, or just want to be more intentional with your people, this conversation is for you!

How do you make decisions when you’re unsure if it’s truly God’s will or just your own desires leading the way? In this episode, I sit down with Chrystal Evans Hurst to talk about the tension between confidence and surrender—because even when we think we’re making the right choice, we still have to trust and yield to God.
Chrystal shares powerful wisdom on how to move forward in faith, even when God seems silent, and why we don’t have to fear making the wrong decision. If you’ve ever felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or wished for a flashing sign from heaven, this conversation is for you.

Motherhood is filled with countless small moments—some joyful, some overwhelming, and many that feel mundane. But what if those tiny moments carried eternal significance? Hosted by Risen Motherhood co-founders Emily A. Jensen and Laura Wifler, this podcast offers gospel-centered encouragement for moms navigating the everyday realities of parenting, faith, and personal growth.
With wisdom drawn from their upcoming book, A Million Tiny Moments: Reflections to Refresh a Mom’s Spirit, Emily and Laura share honest conversations, practical insights, and biblical truths to help moms find strength, purpose, and renewal in their daily lives. Whether you’re in the middle of a sleepless night, a chaotic morning, or a quiet moment of reflection, this podcast is here to remind you: every small moment matters in God’s bigger story.
