Melanie is joined by special guest Rachael Bill—a passionate vegan, fitness enthusiast, and long-term partner in a 9-year relationship—for a meaningful and grounded conversation on personal health, self-discipline, and building strong, lasting love.
Rachael shares her journey into veganism, how she’s approached fitness without falling into the one-size-fits-all mindset, and what she’s learned about communication, change, and emotional maturity in a long-term relationship.
Together, Melanie and Rachael open up about the importance of curiosity in love, how to stay accountable in relationships, and the power of checking in with your partner.
If you’re into wellness, navigating relationships, or just love deep conversations with good people—this one’s for you. 🎧
