About me.

Hi, I'm Rach.

 

I didn't learn this from a textbook. I learned it the night I realised the life I'd built was gone, and I had no idea who I was without it.

​

In 2020, I lost my 17-year career as a flight attendant. Then in 2021, in my late 30s, my relationship ended. I had a two-and-a-half-year-old son, no job, and no plan.

​

Everyone had advice. Be strong. Be brave. Just take it one day at a time. But I didn't feel brave. I felt scared, stuck and completely unsure.

 

What logic couldn't fix.

​

Every time I tried to think my way forward, logic shut the door. Who did I think I was? I'd never done anything like this. I had no proof I could build a new life, so my brain kept telling me not to try.

​

That's the part nobody talks about. It's not that we lack courage. It's that we don't believe we're worthy of more, and we've never had the chance to prove otherwise.

 

What I did instead.

 

So I stopped arguing with logic and went around it.

​

Every night, I closed my eyes and imagined a different life. Earning what I wanted. Doing work I loved. Feeling happy and free. I didn't know how I'd get there. I just let myself see it.

​

My feelings shifted before my circumstances did. Then I started taking action, the kind that had felt impossible a few months earlier. Within a year, the life I'd imagined was real.

​

That's when I knew: when logic keeps the door locked, imagination is the way through.

 

Why I do this now.

​

I went on to become an ICF certified coach and built Create Yourself around the method that changed my life. Today I help women after divorce or separation challenge the beliefs keeping them stuck, using guided visualisation to see the life they want before they have the proof.

​

Because you don't need to feel brave first. Courage comes after you can see where you're going.

​

I'm in my mid-40s and reinventing again, this time with more courage and wisdom to choose myself. I'm not going to pretend I've got it all figured out. I share it as it happens, on the podcast and on my socials, because the journey is the point.

​

ICF certified executive coach. Guided visualisation practitioner. Yoga and breathwork teacher. Writer. Podcast host. And a woman who has lived the thing she teaches.

​

If this feels familiar, you're in the right place.
