WELCOME! I'M RACHEL

Let me share a bit of my journey with you. At 16, fresh from Wednesday night youth group, I decided to stop by a local coffee shop. The moment I walked in, my eyes locked with a boy across the room. There was something about him—an instant spark that felt different, almost magnetic. Little did I know, that fleeting glance would set the stage for a life I couldn’t have imagined. Now, over 26 years later, that boy is my husband of 18 years—the most wonderful, supportive man who has been by my side through every high and low, cheering me on as I navigate this wild ride of life.

I grew up as a West Coast girl, with the ocean always within reach. The salty air, the rhythm of the waves—it was all part of me. But when life took us to Hawaii, I knew deep down that I was always meant to be an island girl. Living in the serenity of the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by endless blue, brought me a sense of peace that felt like home. Yet, life had other plans, and we eventually found ourselves uprooted and moving to the South. While the beaches are now quite a drive away, I’ve learned
to find beauty in the world around me, no matter where I am.

For over 24 years, I’ve been an entrepreneur, driven by a passion for creating, designing, learning, and mastering life. Every day, I wake up with excitement, ready to bring my ideas to life. But beyond the business, there’s so much more that fuels my heart. Together, my husband and I have built a beautiful life. We’ve been blessed with two incredible children—smart, innovative, and full of life. They are our world, and watching them grow into who they are meant to be has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

Now, I’m naturally an introvert. I cherish quiet moments and deep connections. I’ve never been one for superficial small talk; I crave relationships that mean something, that go beneath the surface. Thankfully, God has brought people into my life who share that same desire for depth. My journey of personal growth, through reading and coaching, has become a cornerstone of who I am. It’s a non-negotiable for me—always pushing myself to learn more, to grow, to become the best version of myself.

Creativity is another gift I hold dear. There’s something magical about taking a blank canvas and turning it into something beautiful, whether it’s through a DIY project, painting a room or two in my home, or even just finding the perfect piece at Hobby Lobby or HomeGoods that speaks to who I am. My home is my sanctuary, a place filled with character, personality, and reflections of the life we’ve built.

But it’s the simple pleasures that truly bring me joy. For a minute imagine- I’m sitting on my porch, a hot cup of coffee in hand, the birds are chirping, and I’m watching deer run by with my pup curled up beside me. Or maybe I’m out in the garden, tending to the plants, or collecting eggs from our chickens—these are the moments that ground me, that bring peace to my soul. Ahhh the bliss...

Despite the chaos that life often throws our way, my home is where I find true worth, in the simplicity and love that fill it. My family is everything to me, and each day, I find myself thanking God for His unwavering love, faithfulness, and grace.

But it hasn’t always been easy. My journey toward self-awareness has been anything but smooth. It’s been messy, full of challenges that have tested me in ways I never expected. Yet, every struggle, every hurdle, has been met with God’s grace. The miraculous ways He’s worked in my life are beyond anything I could have imagined. Looking back, I can see how every piece of this journey has been perfectly orchestrated, leading me to where I am today.

And now, I use that beautiful mess to help others, to guide them on their own journeys of self-discovery and fulfillment. Because this journey hasn’t just changed how I work or view myself; it’s made me a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. It’s given me a deeper understanding of life, and a passion to help others see the beauty within themselves, just as I’ve come to see in myself.
