| Music as Medicine: Laura Reed Shares How to Stay True When the World Pulls You | 28 Dec 2025 | 00:56:48 | |
This is a throwback Sunday Soul episode we are pulling from the archives because it’s with international musician, Laura Reed, who will be with us at the I’m Changing the Narrative Retreat in February 2026. Rachel sits down with Laura Reed for a conversation about what it was like growing up between cultures — never fully “from” one place — and how she learned to love the parts of herself she once tried to shrink. They talk about the pressure to conform (especially for women), why Laura refused to dilute her message even when the industry pushed her to, and how she defines success as staying true — and keeping the lights on doing what she loves. This episode is a reminder that your story doesn’t have to fit in one box to be valid — you can be made of many people and still be whole. Laura Reed will also be joining us at the Retreat — and after you listen, you’ll understand exactly why she belongs in this room. We'd love to have you at the I'm Changing the Narrative Retreat and Joy Ball. If you can’t attend in person, Rachel is asking every follower to consider a $5 donation to help the nonprofit:

| Joy Never Fails | Behind the Scenes with Relentless Joy | 09 Jun 2023 | 00:07:27 | |
Relentless Joy launches on June 20th. As part of the launch, some of Rachel's friends got together to create a Book Launch Team. Rachel has been going into the group live each week to discuss the book and share the stories behind the stories you'll read in the book. This week: Listen in as Rachel talks about an incident that took place on her honeymoon, and how someone who was "a noticer" saved her life. Being someone who notices details, who sees more than the surface, who is invested in others is part of living a joy-filled life. She also reads an excerpt from chapter 3, a story about a red bird chasing her car, and explains the significance of the red bird. In Relentless Joy, she says, "This book is your invitation from this moment forward to never miss the opportunity to savor the joy in your life. If you did an audit on the worst times of your life and got down to the granular details, I'm willing to bet there was something beautiful. Even in the midst of that pain, I can count all I've lost and it is a lot. Or I can count my joy. The choice is up to me." Mentioned in This Episode

| Helpers, Noticers, Joy Starters: The World Needs You | 14 Sep 2025 | 00:30:26 | |
A soul-call to every healer, noticer, helper, and joy starter to love boldly, guard your mind, and step into your assignment—today. Content Warning: Mentions of political violence, murder, mental health crises, and spiritual warfare. Listener discretion advised—especially for children. Please preview before sharing with minors. Context for listeners: news this week includes the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University and the fatal stabbing of Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte light rail. Both events have widely circulated videos; this episode urges listeners not to consume graphic footage. ___ This week, Rachel pauses the Italy series to make a soul-level call to the healers, noticers, helpers, and joy starters. In a moment when violent videos flood our feeds and strangers argue like enemies, Rachel asks us to choose a different way: radical love with wise boundaries. She reads the I’m Changing the Narrative Pledge, and invites us to reclaim civil disagreement and sacred listening. This is not politics; it’s about human dignity and mental health. If you’re tired but hopeful, grieving but willing, this episode is your bugle call. Print the pledge, make your Mental Health Battle Plan, and step into your assignment as a Joy Starter—right where you are.

| How Do You Rectify Your Pain? | Behind the Scenes with Relentless Joy | 07 Jun 2023 | 00:06:22 | |
Relentless Joy launches on June 20th. As part of the launch, some of Rachel's friends got together to create a Book Launch Team. Rachel has been going into the group live each week to discuss the book and share the stories behind the stories you'll read in the book. This week: Rachel talks about staying in Ernest Hemingway's house while on safari in Kenya, a gift from her Aunt Karen. She discovered it was the home of a "rad chick" named Martha Gellhorn, a war correspondent who traveled to war zones and covered conflicts for 60 years. In this episode, Rachel asks how Martha rectified the polarity of her experiences: to see death and destruction in such an intimate way, etched on the faces of strangers. She says in Relentless Joy, "I thought I was going for a safari. Instead, a gutsy war correspondent reached across history to challenge me to look at the dichotomy of joy and pain in my own life."

| You are meant to do great things | 05 Jan 2023 | 00:26:06 | |
The new year does not have to be a time for resolutions. I believe 2023 is going to be a year of joy, a year of peace, regardless of your circumstances. If you've survived something hard, something traumatic, or if you're wanting to ease into the new year... remember you don't need crazy resolutions. I want what's good for your soul. We can achieve greatness while also taking pressure off ourselves. This episode is about finding hope and purpose in our lives as we move into the new year. We talk about TCU football, Damar Hamlin, prayer, and how we can change the way we view athletes in our society, recognizing that there's more to them than just sports, and acknowledge them as humans, as somebody's child, partner, friend, and teammate. Let's take the pressure off and allow our souls to be filled with joy and gratitude. Happy New Year! Here's to making 2023 the best year yet! Hope Dealer shirts mentioned in this episode

This week, Rachel is practicing what she preaches. She's back home in her mama's log cabin, catching up with friends and family and taking a break for her God son's birthday. As we approach this holiday season, it's time for presence. Tune in to hear the latest on the book, her trip to Lovelady, and her trip back home!

If you missed my last email, here is the link to check out the book and preorder if you would love to rock my world! It’s also 40% off and free shipping if you preorder! Giving Tuesday is coming up! We would be honored if you would consider donating to our cause. Our non-profit arm, Changing the Narrative Foundation, exists to help athletes, and others, realize their philanthropic dreams.

| Love is: continual opportunities to fall in love again and again | 20 Oct 2022 | 00:26:19 | |
Five years ago, Rachel met her now-husband. To honor the occasion, she takes a look back and shares how they met and why he still gives her butterflies. If you are waiting on your person, have faith. If you're with someone and the spark has faded, pour on the fertilizer and spoil them with your love. Know that there will continually be opportunities to fall in love with them for the rest of your life. You have not met all the people who are going to love you fiercely, and that you're going to love fiercely. And you have no idea the goodness that is ahead. Keep the faith.

| The Story Behind This Week's Mental Health Game at Utah State | 22 Sep 2022 | 00:29:30 | |
On September 24th, I'm Changing the Narrative is hosting a Mental Health Awareness Game with Utah State. And, I want you to know the back story. When I hug Coach Blake Anderson this weekend, you'll know the heartache that we've experienced together and what he's experienced as a father who lost his son. And, you'll know that this goes way beyond football and his team, and why he's so passionate about mental health resources. Because that's what Blake is all about. He's not just a football coach. He's a father, a husband, and he cares about his players - not just on the field, but off the field too. I hope you'll be inspired to get mental health resources for yourself, for your family, for your school, your team, your community. Mental health affects everyone. It's time to start talking about it and raising awareness. If you are struggling or feeling hopeless, please reach out for help. There are resources available for you. You're not alone.

| What Nine Years with the Minnesota Gophers Has Taught Me | 10 Aug 2025 | 00:35:29 | |
In this replay of an Instagram Live from her Minneapolis hotel room, Rachel reflects before speaking to the Minnesota Gophers football team for the ninth year in a row. From NFL meeting notes to God-given middle-of-the-night inspiration, she shares the importance of caring for yourself before you pour into others, discovering your “soul’s superpower,” and never dying with your flowers. You’ll hear stories of small acts that lit up strangers, miracles that defy explanation, and why being a person of your word can change lives—including your own. This episode is part pep talk, part heart check, and 100% encouragement to use your gifts right where you are. 🎉 It’s Our 9th Birthday! 🎉 For nine years, I’m Changing the Narrative has been speaking life, purpose, and hope into teams, campuses, and communities across the country.

| You Are On Assignment: Purpose, Passion, and Pittsburgh | 20 Jul 2025 | 00:25:43 | |
Rachel Joy Baribeau shares a behind-the-scenes look at her whirlwind trip from Italy to Pittsburgh, where she spoke to both the Pitt football and basketball teams. With less than 24 hours on the ground, she brought her signature fire, faith, and purpose-driven message—reminding us all that we are on assignment. Rachel reflects on what it means to be a “sacred space holder,” the power of giving people their flowers while they’re still here, and how surrendering control opens the door for God to move in ways we can’t script. Whether she’s talking to young athletes or strangers on a date in Italy, Rachel lives to speak life, hold space, and inspire transformation. ✨ Topics in this episode:

In this special Retreat Speakers Spotlight (Part 1) episode, Rachel pulls back the curtain on the first Amelia Island ICTN Retreat and introduces a few of the incredible humans she hand-picked for this transformative weekend. You’ll hear how Rachel met Laura Reed (international musician, “tiny giant,” and soul-stirring storyteller) and why Laura’s journey of integrity over industry “success” is part of what makes this retreat different. Laura shares her path from street-singing to major opportunities—plus how she’s weaving music with food justice, community, and purpose. Then Rachel introduces Jerremy Newsome, a teacher of true wealth and the energy behind money—who’s helped people rebuild their relationship with finances, faith, and identity. Jeremy shares how he lost millions, what he learned, and the moment he risked it all—and why gratitude changed everything. Part 2 drops next week with more stories from speakers you’ll want to hear!
