From Trailer Park to Times Square! with ...

The Liz Svatek Show
About this episode

I sit down with Rachel McCord—TV host, entrepreneur, and founder of The McCord List—whose journey will inspire you to see your life in a completely new way.

From growing up in a Georgia trailer park to lighting up Times Square, Rachel’s story is a masterclass in faith, resilience, and transformation. After surviving open-heart surgery and battling depression and postpartum anxiety, she discovered that real healing begins within—and that vulnerability can become the most powerful form of strength.

Rachel is a big believer of going from self help to GOD HELP. That ultimately filled her heart with love and became her mission.
