This is Me, I'M RACH
Really Love: Science, crazy hair colours, camping & living authentically on my terms. I don't do sugar coating & I can't accept you not backing yourself!
I didn't always feel this way. I was sucked into the single narrative there is only one way to live your life. Societal expectations confused my career direction, plagued me with self doubt & had me stuck on a hamster wheel not enjoying life.
5 years ago I was suited and booted running (yet another) recruitment business feeling drained & unfulfilled governed by a paycheck & devoid of passion. Struggling with body dysmorphia, tipping into peri monopause, plagued with self doubt, convinced I was defective without a partner & really not able to back myself to make the change I KNEW I wanted for my life.
At 17 after high school I left Adelaide with no clue what was in front of me & even less of the life skills to take on the move, but did it anyway landing in the UK.
At 22 I qualified as a Sports Scientist putting myself through Uni as a bartender & failed model.
I spent 20 years working in recruitment always studying on the side. A life coach, a naturopath, nutritionist, pilates instructor.
By 30 I was a single Mum to my beautiful girl Poppy (PJ to me) and at 42 packed in the corporate world to finally follow my path of helping people mentally, physically & emotionally.
Now 44 I've taken my own mindset & reset how I feel about who I am, what I can achieve & reset the 6 pillars of life. My life is full with my 13 year old Super Star, 2 Pointer Pups & 1 Black Cat living in my own home in the heart of Sydney with my water tank pool working from home existing mostly in trackies and always feeling purposeful
Rad-edlaide born Sydney Gal. Life coach, pilates instructor, nutritionist, counsellor & animal activist. A single Mamma who believes perfection just isn't relatable.
There was always something pulling me to life & physical coaching. I should have known back when I was a kid helping frogs cross the road & mending a friends scraped knee that I was destined to help others.
Things that have been said of me I should have listened to & known meant Coaching & Teaching was the life I was meant to lead.
'You always bring those who need healing home' - My Mum growing up
'That's one of your gifts, you always believe in the magic in life' - My best friend (since kindy!)
'You never judge. I think that's because you just see people' - Gal Pal (inner sanctum)
I truly believe we all have gifts & they are the reason we are here. What comes to us innately is what we are here to master & teach others. It's the art in life of living in equilibrium otherwise known as living with purpose.
A few truths (cause socials don't show the real stuff)
Being self made & going against the single narratives of life ain't easy but if I can do it - so can you. I'm a single Mumma raising a superstar in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I've struggled with severe self doubt and insecurity my whole life. Imposter syndrome was my constant companion in corporate and while backing others comes easy, myself was a bigger challenge. I've battled with eating disorders, body dysmorphia, physical assault, postnatal depression, failed relationships and often told I am too open, too intense and love too hard.
Here's the thing ... I am more than OK with ME
It takes work for all of us. Every single person has struggles. What I KNOW to my core is, we all have the power to change. No one is forcing us to work at any particular job, partake in any given relationship or be anyone but who we were born to be. Sometimes though, it's a little hard to see the wood for the trees. So while I may love too hard and share too much - I see it as my super power. It is why I have helped so many people with my coaching courses & teachings being resilient, real & authentic as hell.
Why am I here?
I'm here to inspire & support. To share & teach. To relate & learn. We have all lived through vast experiences but not all of us have the platform to share so others can feel comforted & know they have a companion who has been there too on this wild ride.
Because I believe we all have a capacity for greatness (whatever that looks like) & sometimes we need someone whose skill set sits in empowering others to show us how to access it for ourselves.
Mel Robbins, Jay Shetty, Chris Williamson to name a few. But those are the names you would know. I am inspired by the many entrepreneurs who take what they love and make it something special. Inspired by the people whose hearts are broken but still find capacity in there to love. In awe of the other single parents who grow beautiful humans and of anyone who has faced dis-ease, fought the good fight & come out the other side.
Who & What Inspires Me?
Write! I love to put pen to paper and send my feelings onto pages. Swim, there is something calming to my soul when I am in the water and the breath work is my zen of calm. Sing, (closet singer songwriter here) but it is my lady love Poppy who got the kick ass voice!
Hair! My crazy hair colours are my inner bright & I like to wear them on the outside xx
Create. Because I truly don't see what I do as work anymore. I see my ability to teach others as an expansion of my soul and I absolutely adore creating my courses for you!
What do I do in my Spare Time?
You can't always be positive - What gets you down?
Animal Cruelty breaks my heart in a way I cannot describe. One day it is my dream to set up an animal sanctuary to share shelter and love. My dogs are my inner peace and saved me in more ways than one. It shatters my soul to see cruelty.
