Hey, I’m Rachel
If you’re thinking of swiping right: I’m a Sagittarius, Marvel movie aficionado, mum of one cheeky toddler, 🦪 oyster obsessed 🦪, marketing professional who has a strong distaste for the word professional… and yeah, I drop an f bomb pretty fucking regularly (sorry Mum). Also never call me Rachie. Ever.
I’ve been a fashion blogger, IT project manager, data analyst, marketing agency dogsbody and business owner - my CV is quite the ride!
But it was a couple of years into my personal business ownership journey that my peers began to ask shyly if I would mentor them which led to a holy shit moment - because working with women to grow their businesses is where it’s at 😍
Why I do what I do
I know what it’s like to chronically undervalue yourself and what you deliver for your clients. I know how often mind-fuckery like low confidence and imposter syndrome can lead to making business decisions that are keeping you stuck. I know what it’s like juggling work life and family life. I know what it’s like to struggle with client management + boundaries + saying no. I know what it’s like to try to grow a business around pregnancy and newborn babies.
I know what it’s like to burn out in roles you hate, including the role as business owner. And who starts a business intending to hate their job?! No one. That’s a hard no from me.

I have over ten years digital marketing experience so I have seen A LOT. I have some STORIES. But more importantly I created my digital marketing consultancy business in 2017 & within the first year generated six figures by working my ass off. That’s not a humble brag. People thought I was living the dream, but in reality I was a misery to be around. Walking a fine line of burnout and my mental health suffering I knew something had to change and that I had stumbled into an accidental girl boss, “just say yes”, hustle, more is more approach to business… which was in no way sustainable.
But it doesn’t have to be that way for you.
I want to be the coach, mentor + business bestie I needed when I started my own business, so you can avoid all my years of under charging, all the times I said yes when I meant absolutely fucking not. And most importantly quit directionless revenue chasing so you can build a business with your needs (and profit) at it’s core.
My aim is to relentlessly instil a sense of belonging, inclusion and empowerment among women in digital services businesses so they can embrace their unique expertise + their inherent value + go their own way.
