This week on The RLPodcast, the girls are getting real about the controversial drug: weed. From growing up thinking it was the ultimate “don’t you dare” substance to realizing that, for some, a little nighttime joint has become the new glass of wine — we're talking evolution, perception, and… the munchies 😅

Tune in for giggles, cringe moments, and big-sister vibes ❤️

The girls are catching up on some big news — Rachel bought a house! She’s the last person who thought homeownership would be part of her 2025 story, but things took a turn. Rachel shares why she was hesitant to buy in St. Louis, what changed her mind, and how she approached the process with both practicality and heart.

Hot Tips from the Episode:

• ✅ Do key projects before moving in — it’s so much easier!
• 💰 Understand what an appraisal gap means (and how it affects your offer).
• 🏗️ Be cautious with new builds and foreclosures — not all “deals” are what they seem.
• 🪴 Negotiate landscaping during the winter months for better rates.
• 🧾 Watch your property taxes — your mortgage payment isn’t always fixed.
• 🔍 Choose a realtor who listens, educates, and helps you feel confident.
• 🧹 Don’t get distracted by decor; focus on structure, resale potential, and location.

Liv may have missed the big day, but the girls are making up for it with all the birthday stories! But first can we talk about the theme: "Aging Like Fine Wine"!? It was a quintessential St. Louis night out.

Big shoutout to Ally, the MVP of the evening — she did it all: balloon arch, glam squad duties, and somehow surviving a full-on car key fiasco.

Plus, the girls chat about Oktoberfest plans, the chaos of party season, and what Rachel’s family is scheming for Halloween this year. Spoiler: it’s on theme. 🎃

Grab a drink and hang out with us — it’s another episode of laughter, girl talk, and catching up like only Rach & Liv can. 💕

In this episode of the RL Podcast, we dive into FOMO — Fear of Missing Out. What is it really? Why has it become such a big deal in our generation? And more importantly… how do we break free from it?

We open up about how, in our younger years, we chased relevance — wanting to be included, seen, and “in the mix.” But as we've grown, we’ve realized something powerful: comparison is the thief of joy, and not every invitation is meant to be ours.

We talk about:
✨ The root of FOMO in social media and comparison
✨ The pressure to keep up vs. the peace of opting out
✨ How priorities shift with maturity — from being everywhere to being present
✨ Learning to choose contentment over constant comparison

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re missing out — this one’s for you. Sometimes, the real glow-up is realizing… you’re not missing a thing. 💛

Liv & Rachel are back on the mic — fresh off Liv’s whirlwind wedding in Mexico! 🌴💍 In this episode, Liv spills all the behind-the-scenes details: how she chose a destination resort without a bottomless budget (or the chance to tour venues in person), the challenges of asking loved ones to travel across the world while still giving them space to enjoy a vacation, and the creative ways she kept guests informed as plans shifted abroad.

From DIY touches and surprise details to the emotional parent speech that left everyone in tears (and plotting more babies!) — nothing is off-limits. Liv even shares her biggest surprise for her guests, sneak-peek wedding photos, the truth behind her day-of makeup disaster, and how she lost her voice right before reading her vows.

Plus, Rachel asks the big question every bride faces: what if no one shows up to the event you’ve poured your heart into?

This episode is equal parts heart, chaos, and real talk — a must-listen for anyone planning a destination wedding (or just loving the tea).

✨ What to expect from the day (timelines, paperwork, and surprises)
✨ Who you should (and shouldn’t) bring along
✨ The emotional side of saying “I do” in a courthouse setting

Whether you’re planning your own courthouse wedding or just curious about what it’s really like, we’re breaking it all down with honesty, laughs, and a few behind-the-scenes moments.

In this episode, the girls dive into the comforts of having your preferred products while traveling—because yes, quality shampoo does make or break your hair in humid weather!

Liv shares her slightly mortifying derma plane facial story and Rachel’s disappointing “facial” that turned out to be a sales pitch.

They also admit they’re not huge massage fans (Liv even got hurt during a deep tissue session 😬) and chat about what they would try instead, like a relaxing head spa. To round things out, Rachel shares her own experience with acupuncture and whether it lived up to the hype.

Tune in for laughs, awkward girl talk, and some real takes on wellness treatments and self-care!
