Rachel is a blogger, writer, published author, and speaker. She believes strongly in sharing the good, bad and ugly of motherhood instead of the alternate reality some like to perpetuate. She’s a contributor for PopSugar, Today Parents, and has been featured on ScaryMommy and HuffPo, among others. Rachel hides from her kids in her closet every Monday night where she records a Facebook live show commiserating with other parents about all things motherhood. But really, her biggest accomplishment is regularly doing the obscene amount of laundry created by her husband and two daughters and keeping everyone in clean clothing.
In this episode we get into Rachel's decision to leave the corporate world and follow her passion as a writer. This led to a successful blog and now an active Instagram account under the moniker whineandcheezits. Rachel now balances life as an influencer with motherhood, and shares the adventures along the way.

Slade has built three millennial-focused newsrooms, most recently as managing editor and editorial product head at CNN's Beme, and before that at Mic and HyperVocal. He also co-hosted and executive produced SiriusXM's daily "Politics Powered by Twitter" satellite radio show. He also is co-director of Camp Power, a nonprofit summer camp for underprivileged kids from Brooklyn and the Bronx.
Slade and I grew up in the same town and went to school together. This was our first time hanging out in many, many years. We discussed playing in a cul-de-sac, Angela Lansbury, Broadway shows, why I should watch soccer, and where the media landscape is heading (hint: we don't know). Also, his incredible nonprofit, a summer camp for kids who don't otherwise have the chance to go, Camp Power.
Please enjoy this episode of Talkin' Ish, with Slade Sohmer.
You can find Slade amplifying voices that need to be heard, on Twitter, @slade, and on Instagram @sladeny.
