Ok, this was a seriously fun podcast with my friend and community leader Deborah Friend Wilson of @dfwconsulting and @thelakehousebellevue
She and her husband @chefjasonwilson are bringing amazing food to Bellevue – but more than that – they are working to make the service industry workplace a safe place for so many who spend countless hours serving so many of us! 🙌 We dive into the topic of mental wellness in the workplace, the stress caused by being in the hospitality industry and we talk about movies like @themenufilm and the persona so many chefs take on. (Yes Chef!)
It’s a fascinating conversation and if you are in a business where you sell anything to others – you’ll find this one riveting!

December 26: Moms + Daughters = ❤️

Did you see it?
It’s been a year!
I’m ready to head into 2023 and leave behind a year of loss, regret and loneliness as well as personal bests, great accomplishments and new-found independence. 💃
This is the week we see everyone posting about all the things they are doing next year and I’m here for it!
I had my personal best year in real estate, but it came with losing a long-time love and many dreams that went with that abruptly, continuing to mourn the death of my mom, seeing my last child off to college and settling in to the discomfort that goes with living truly alone for the first time since college. 😬
I started a podcast, had my largest sale ever, and traveled alone to Europe – all things that caused me to smile a lot on social media. I treated my kids to vacations, spent time with my family in Ohio, and dove deeper into friendships that are really important to me. I learned that you can’t take a photo of loss and that there’s no time limit on how long you’ll feel sad.
So, after a solid year of mourning the big losses, I’m energized and ready to say goodbye to 2022 and see what the next year holds.
In 2023 I’m focusing on putting my happiness before anyone else (kids excluded!), doing things that make ME happy, leaving regret behind, and diving deep into my friendships and connections with those that continue to lift me up. 🙏
If you made it this far, leave a 🤍 and a goal you’ve made for yourself in 2023!

December 29: It’s the last podcast of the year and it’s timed perfectly to coincide with all your fitness goals and dreams! Join me and @sklartacus as we talk about his personal journey with fitness, how he got to @bodi 🚴 and all the reasons we love @beachbody 💪
Of course since we’re both from the Midwest (him – Detroit and me – Cleveland) – we spent a few minutes talking about our fave foods and how we #getthatbread (IYKYK).
Make it a point to listen to our convo or watch it on our YouTube channel (link in bio). Follow Real Time with Rachael the PODcast wherever you get your podcasts. And please follow Jared’s feed too! He has an amazing business called @thesuncycle and if you live in LA- you’ve got to check it out! ☀️
Do you use @beachbody – if you don’t – I cannot stress enough how comprehensive and motivating all the programs are! Live on @bodi or choose from a zillion amazing workouts.
Monday I am starting Healthy Obsession with @autumncalabrese and I’ll be keeping myself accountable on stories. But I’ll also be cycling with Jared to keep it fun and sassy. Follow along and join me!
December 30: On the last Friday of the year it seems appropriate to chat about something that can really save you 💰 AND help you start building equity in 2023. 🙌. I am here to bring you all the things you might not know about home buying and selling! So read 👇
If you’re a first time homebuyer and you missed my PODcast episode with lender @lendingwithlinds – here’s a little reminder about the 2-1 buy down program many lenders offer their first time home buyers that qualify. ✅
Head to the link in our bio or listen on all your fave podcast outlets for the full conversation. Either way – if you’re a first time homebuyer and think you’ve been priced out of the market due to rising interest rates – let’s talk!
