About this listen
Rachel’s story isn’t your typical reinvention tale. After decades of leading, achieving, and people-pleasing her way through corporate life (while slowly burning herself out), she finally hit a wall. And instead of pushing through it like she always had… she walked away.
From her job.
Her home.
Her whole identity.
She sold everything and moved to Peru with four suitcases and zero certainty - only the deep knowing that something had to change.
In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to unravel. To surrender the script you were handed and write a new one.
Rachel shares how she navigated burnout (again), why she stopped trying to fix herself, and how learning to honor her wiring - especially as a perceptive, driven, neurodivergent woman - changed everything.
She’s now helping other women do the same through her coaching work and her gorgeous new book, Perceptive, which is all about reclaiming your sensitivity, your strength, and the truth of who you are.
This conversation is full of gold if you've ever felt like you were "too much" or "not enough," if you’re curious about what it actually means to trust yourself in the middle of the unknown, or if you’ve been secretly wondering… “what if I just let it all go?”
You don’t need to burn it all down to begin again. But you do get to stop pretending, start listening, and live in a way that actually feels good.
