Happy fall, y’all! In this heartfelt installment of the JoyStarters Podcast, Rachel takes you back to Italy for more stories and lessons from her time in Sicily, Rome, and—finally—Pompeii. This episode is about more than sightseeing. It’s about secret dreams, full-circle moments, and how God weaves our stories together.

Whether you’re a traveler, a dreamer, or someone longing for your own full-circle moment, this episode will inspire you to write down your secret dreams, play your “weird flute music,” and find the people who will hold you up when big emotions hit.
