While content platforms and consumption evolve, written words will never take the place of trends.
As a business strategist, intellectual property lawyer, business owner and mom of five – I have a lot to share. Boiling my stories down into relatable, fun tales while educating the reader is a highlight of my professional career. I enjoy accompanying my business books with novelty children’s books so women can share their passion with young minds in their lives in a fun way.
“Never before have I read a business book for newbies that had me laughing and feeling like Rachel was a new friend. Rachel clearly knows her stuff and covers every base of starting and growing your own business. Yet her book is entertaining and relatable. I highly recommend this book for Mom entrepreneurs who need help getting started or help growing their business.”

I FIRED MY PUBLISHER, TWICE.
My journey to self-authoring, by choice.
Many who seek to become authors feel you are not deemed credible unless you’re published by a big publishing house. With my first book, I started out this way and thought “yessss..I made it on the first try!” Then the editorial control was taking my voice and fun out of the book. After my first run, I fired them. I went on to self-publish some children’s books and tried my hand as a second business book. The book was about to hit shelves in Target in the next week but I decided I had let the publishing house control too much and took away from me (again)…and ultimately, what I stood for.
I felt a commitment to myself and to each of you. Not only to stand firm on who you are – but to show that you don’t need others to build it for you.
Maybe one day I will go back to a large publishing house – one that gives me editorial and creative control. Until then, I continue to write for fun and for you.

an Au Pair
