Rachel “Raquel” Leviss announced that she’s ending her podcast less than one year after launching it.
The “Vanderpump Rules” alum confirmed that Thursday’s episode of her “Rachel Goes Rogue” podcast would be her last as she continues to move onto a “more balanced and healthier life.”
“I’ve made the decision to take both feet out of the ‘Vanderpump Rules’ universe and focus on myself, focus on my life, my healing,” she shared.
“I have decided to walk away from continuing the podcast, because I would like to move on from having one foot in the door of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ and one foot out,” she reiterated.
Leviss, 30, said that she is instead “choosing a life that is fully aligned” with her values and who she wants “to show up as every single day.”
“I’ll be focusing on myself, my healing and a new relationship that I’m in,” she teased before starting an in-depth conversation with Psychologist Dr. Hillary Goldsher.

Leviss didn’t reveal who her new partner is, simply saying she wants to keep it “sacred.”
“I am in a new relationship, and it’s very healthy, and he’s very normal,” she said.
The former Bravolebrity called it “such an accomplishment” to be dating someone “normal” after her affair with Tom Sandoval and being engaged to James Kennedy.
“He’s just such a supportive person, and I just feel really happy,” she gushed.
Leviss initially announced that she was launching her podcast in November 2023. She said at the time that she would “explore a spectrum of topics, mastering self-empowerment and navigating life’s challenges with grace and authenticity.”
Elsewhere on Thursday’s episode, Leviss reflected on how her podcast has evolved over the last 10 months.
“At first, it was kind of, like, me defending myself, and then it turned into something more of me giving the things that I’ve learned through my recovery experience and sharing that with other people, so that they can take the things that serve them and hopefully choose something healthier and better in their lives,” she said.
Leviss thanked her listeners and called the experience “so rewarding.”
“I’m also really proud of choosing now to end the podcast and to move on, as well, I think that’s a huge decision,” she said. “It really is a huge full circle moment for me.”
She ended her episode by applauding herself for “staying true” to herself and choosing a path “that is unknown and tak[ing] a risk.”
Leviss’ first episode dropped on Jan.8, and she quickly began talking about her controversial affair with Sandoval.
The former beauty pageant queen slammed Sandoval for “really trying to milk the victim role to make himself look better” and accused him of “playing the offensive.”
