IT'S FINE. with Rachel Varkey Podcast artwork

Look — we’re all guilty of it. It’s so much easier to say “it’s fine” than to navigate the complexity of our very real, adult problems. "It's Fine" offers women, just like show host Rachel Varkey, to let it out, put it out there, and start talking about all the things we're not really fine on. From our lack of fulfillment, careers, relationships, mental health, self-love, and everything in between — we're going to admit what we're not fine about.
