78. Living Authentically with Raina Odel...

Ashlie Molstad
About this episode

This episode is one of my faves ever, because I got to have a convo with one of my besties, and also one of my fave humans before we were ever even friends… Raina Odell.

She wrote a book about her life and story and it blew me away. The lives she has lived, the things she has gone through, and then the lemonade she made out of lemons is beyond inspiring.

We had such a great conversation that I split it into two parts. So, here is part one. All about her story and struggles, and how she was able to stay true to herself, while allowing herself to grow and evolve. I hope you enjoy! And if you do, share it!

You can find Raina on IG at @Raina.Odell
You can find her book on Amazon or wherever you get your books!

See you inside💥
