About
Like you, I spent years following a path that looked right from the outside but felt completely wrong on the inside. I climbed ladders, switched roles, and kept hoping the next opportunity would finally be the one - but I only found myself more restless, burned out, and questioning everything.
The turning point came when I stopped looking outward for answers and finally had the courage to turn inward instead.
That's when I discovered the truth: nothing outside of me could fix what I was feeling. I wasn't broken or lacking ambition - I was simply living by someone else's definition of success instead of answering my own call.
Welcome, I'm Rachel - writer, mentor, and guide for highly sensitive people and empaths ready to find their way home to meaningful work.
Once I started listening to my inner compass, everything began to shift. Instead of following the expected path, I gave myself permission to experiment and create something entirely my own.
Designing Work That Felt Like Home
That's when I discovered what I now call a portfolio career - weaving together different roles, skills, and passions into work that's flexible, meaningful, and authentically mine. For me, that's meant teaching and consulting in marketing, building a creative studio, and now mentoring highly sensitive people through career realignment and business growth.
I believe a portfolio career isn't a fallback or compromise - it's a powerful model for HSPs who refuse to dim their multifaceted nature to fit into a single box.
My work centres on helping people uncover their truth and design purposeful work that feels authentic, sustainable, and alive with possibility.
I believe your sensitivity isn't something to overcome - it's your greatest professional asset. Your unconventional path isn't a disadvantage - it's what makes you irreplaceable. And real success means never having to shrink parts of yourself to belong.
Together, we create the space for you to listen deeply, trust your inner knowing, and build work that honors exactly who you are
Before stepping into this work, I spent over 15 years in branding and digital strategy, helping agencies, start-ups, and purpose-led businesses bring their visions to life.
I was good at it, and I genuinely loved the creative problem-solving. But being skilled at something and having it be the right energetic fit are two very different things. My breakthrough came when I stopped seeing my need for variety and flexibility as restlessness, and started recognizing it as my natural way of thriving.
The training I've gathered along the way - career coaching, strategic psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, and positive psychology - combined with my own winding journey, now informs how I guide others toward work that honors their whole selves.
What Guides Me
Every compass needs anchors. These are the values I return to again and again - in my own career, in this work, and in the lives of those I guide.

Honoring your true nature without apology.
-
Choosing alignment even when it’s messy or uncertain.
-
Letting questions, not rules, lead the way.
-
Designing work that supports both energy and purpose.
-
Creating space for sensitivity as a strength.

If Sunday nights fill you with dread, your nervous system is trying to tell you something. That pit in your stomach isn’t normal - it’s your body’s way of saying this work doesn’t fit your soul.
Your career crisis might actually be your calling. I’d love to help you find your compass.
