New Small Business Owners → You’ve launched the business you’ve been dreaming of for years, you’re ready to start showing up online, but you’re still figuring out how to talk about what you do in a way that feels confident and clear. Whether you’re preparing for your first speaking opportunity or trying to find your voice online, we’ll build that foundation together. 

Experienced Small Business Owners → You’ve been at this for a while, but your content and your presence haven’t kept up with how far you’ve come. You have the experience, the stories, and the results. Now, you just need support translating all of it into writing and speaking that reflects who you are and where your business is headed. 

Bilingual and Spanish-Speaking Business Owners → You move between languages, communities, and audiences, and your story is richer for it. Rachel works with bilingual entrepreneurs who want to show up authentically across both languages, so your voice feels strong and your message is clear no matter what audience you’re speaking to.

  • “Rachel did a wonderful job helping me to edit my story and gave me great tips on presenting to a live audience. She also gave real time feedback about my voice projection and how to edit things in a way that was more digestible for the general audience, while practicing. She is great to work with. I felt a lot more comfortable and confident stepping up to give my speech/tell my story after working with her."

  • “I had the pleasure of working with Rachel on a storytelling project for a major event, alongside three other participants. Rachel was exceptional throughout the entire process. Her coaching was thoughtful, insightful, and empowering. She helped us refine and edit our stories with great care, always ensuring that we stayed true to ourselves while shaping our narratives to meet the goals of the event. [...]Rachel has a clear vision and an incredible ability to help you bring your story to life while remaining authentic.”

  • “Rachel went above and beyond to make sure we had all the important voices at the table. She was respectful and professional. Her abilities of speaking Spanish and being a good listener were crucial for the completion of the project since the majority of the interviewed stakeholders would not be able to express themselves fully if the interview were not conducted in Spanish.”

  • "[Having] somebody like Rachel taking in your words, and Rachel seeing me, is something that I don't think you're going to get from a lot of coaches or guides. And so I think if you're a female founder, whether you're running an academic research lab, and/or you have a side hustle where you want to tell your story in an authentic way, and attract people that you can genuinely help, I think Rachel is the person for you."
