Walking collaboration

Because the watered down version of us doesn’t change our lives.

Most people think collaboration means working with others - guest features, co-branded projects, creative partnerships. But for me, it’s deeper than that. I’ve come to understand that I am a walking collaboration before I ever invite anyone else in. Everything I create, teach, or offer holds the fingerprints of every version of me I’ve walked through.

There’s the girl who thought being chosen and impressive was the same thing as being loved. Who learned to chase approval like it was oxygen. The woman who kept everything going on no sleep and no boundaries. The mom who would look at herself in the mirror and wonder if she’d ever see the real her looking back. The coach who’s lucky to have Rachel in her corner but still deletes followers, shrugs at trends, and posts when it feels real. I’ve partnered with those versions of myself more than I’ve ever partnered with another brand.

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a coach. You’re stepping into the room with every season I’ve survived, learned from, and used to build something better. I don’t offer surface-level strategy. I don’t hand out cookie-cutter steps. I hold space for the questions most people avoid. And I do it from a place of lived experience, not a manual.

That’s where the difference between therapy and coaching matters. My therapist single handedly gave me strategies, space, and love that continue to allow me to change my life. Therapy helps you unpack the past. It gives language to wounds and space for healing. I’ll never pretend coaching is a substitute for that. But coaching is where we look forward. It’s where we decide what happens now that you know what you know. It’s where you stop waiting for the right time and start choosing your next one.

I’ve seen it over and over. A client who thought she was disorganized realized she’d been building systems around someone else’s idea of success. Another who was constantly burning out admitted she had never once worked in a way that aligned with how she actually wanted to live. And me. I remember the moment I stopped trying to write like someone else and let my own voice be enough. Choppy. Rough around the edges. Grammar in need of editing. But mine.

This work matters because you are already a walking collaboration. Your boundaries, your voice, your work, your hesitation, it’s all layered with what you’ve lived through. And that’s not something to hide. That’s something to trust. If you’ve ever wondered whether your story makes you too much, too complicated, too personal, or too tender for coaching, this is your permission to stop editing yourself out of the process.

You don’t have to be more polished to be more powerful. You don’t have to be fully healed to begin. You just have to be willing to bring your whole self to the table. The rest we work through together.

If you’re ready to make your next season feel like yours, I’m here. Not with a checklist. With a flashlight. And the kind of questions that remind you who you are.
