Rachel Joy Baribeau, an award-winning storyteller, inspirational speaker, and transformative coach, bares the depths of her past in this candid interview on The God Pod.

Struggling with cocaine addiction and pursuing unfulfilling idols, she found herself at a crossroads. Yet, it was in the midst of her darkest days that God worked miraculously to save her. Rachel Joy's journey from the lows of addiction to becoming an acclaimed sportscaster and the first female SiriusXM ESPNU host is a testament to divine intervention. But it's what happened AFTER that where she gives God all the glory. 

Rachel Joy did not hold back in Part 1 of this interview, as she shares all the "dark" and lonely places that caused her to keep coming back to God -- the one constant in her life amidst the ungodly amount of grief she faced.
If you've ever felt lost, fargone, or caught in the throes of addiction, listen in as she shares the pivotal  awarenesses, realizations, and experiences that shaped who she is today in the midst of all the darkness.
