I'm sharing something that completely transformed my life—and continues to empower women everywhere: the power of building a life that's rich with purpose, freedom, and fulfillment through direct sales.

This is your invitation to take a different path—one that might be exactly what you've been looking for, even if you didn't know it. Here's what we're diving into today: 02:06 – How one bold decision changed everything for me and opened up new possibilities. 04:38 – Why direct sales could be your ticket to financial and personal freedom. 08:15 – Overcoming the stigma around non-traditional paths and why it's worth embracing. 12:21 – What to look for in the right opportunity to ensure success. 14:36 – Inspiring stories of women building businesses in the small moments of their day. 16:39 – How personal growth becomes your secret weapon for success. 19:25 – What to do when you feel called to something bigger and are ready to take that next step. Key Takeaway: “A company where people are winning with wellness, they are winning with financial growth, and it's leading with this heart-led leadership.” -Jill Allen “You weren't made for average.

Send us a textIn this episode, Rachel gets real about the outdated (and straight-up toxic) beliefs still floating around the direct sales industry. From team building myths to hustle culture, she's calling out the nonsense that's keeping leaders stuck—and sharing what actually leads to growth in 2025. If you've ever felt guilty for wanting more or wondered if you're allowed to build something outside your company, this one's for you.Key Points Covered:Why team building is not the only way to grow your income. Rachel shares her experience of earning more from a $19 product than from her entire team and sales combined.The myth that wanting more makes you greedy or ungrateful. Growth ≠ betrayal. Wanting more is a sign of vision, not disloyalty.How building something of your own doesn't make you a traitor. Loyalty to yourself ≠ disloyalty to your company. You can support your team and your future.Why hustle culture is toxic—and what to focus on instead. Burnout isn't a badge of honor. Strategy, peace of mind, and aligned work matter more than overworking.When 'stick with it' is actually harmful advice. Sometimes it's time to pivot—and that doesn't mean you're a quitter.The truth about corporate loyalty (it's not what you think). At the end of the day, your company is loyal to its bottom line. Protect your own future.Why team drama doesn't equal leadership. Real leadership starts with leading yourself first—not being the emotional support human for your entire downline.Call to Action: If you're ready to stop falling for the lies and start building something of your own, Rachel has 2 VIP Day spots open this summer to help you create and launch your digital product.
