Hi! My name is Rachael. I'm a remarried widow, mom, bonus mom, entrepreneur, fashion and coffee lover:) 

I am on a mission to help women become their best selves and live their best life, without feeling guilty about it. When I was just 34 years old my late husband was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Our daughters were just 2 and 4 at the time. Overnight I became a full-time caregiver for the next 5 years while he fought hard for his life. 

During that time I realized a lot about myself. I learned how strong women can be during the most difficult times. I also found myself very isolated, as I didn't know anyone else who could relate to what I was going through. I discovered the importance of self-care, self-love, and how to prioritize my emotional and physical health. 

In August of 2019, my late husband lost his battle, and I was left a single mom. I was lonely, depressed, and heartbroken. I happened to meet someone sooner than I had expected. Instead of enjoying myself and accepting this new love into my life, I agonized and obsessed over how I felt, and looked for opinions from everyone. 

As I write this I am on my honeymoon in Greece!

Life is meant to be lived and loved. I am here to help you realize you deserve your next chapter- on your terms and no one else’s!
