Free 45-minute sessions that might change it all for you
You're doing “all the right things” in your business. So why does it still feel so hard?
Free 45-minute sessions that might change it all for you.
You're doing “all the right things” in your business. So why does it still feel so hard?
Maybe you're making money, but you're exhausted.
Maybe you know what you should do next, but something keeps stopping you.
Maybe you spent Sunday night dreading Monday because your business feels like another thing demanding from you instead of supporting you.
Maybe you're succeeding by everyone else's standards but completely disconnected from why you started in the first place.
Here's what I know after 10 years and 200+ clients.
When your business feels heavy instead of energizing, it's not because you're doing it wrong. It's not because you need a better strategy or more willpower or another course.
It's because the strategies you're using don't account for your whole story.
The burnout you experienced that taught you your limits matter. The over-functioning patterns that once kept you safe but now keep you small. The sensitivity you've learned to see as a liability instead of the gift it actually is. The old scripts running in the background whispering "you're not enough" or "rest is weakness" or "your needs don't matter as much as theirs."
These aren't obstacles to overcome. They're information.
Information about what you need. What you've learned. What patterns are ready to transform.
And in a single 45-minute conversation, we can start to untangle what's actually going on beneath your business.
Not through forcing. Through witnessing.
What Happens in 45 Minutes
1-15 Minutes: You're Finally Seen
I'll ask you what's really going on. Not surface-level “I need help with marketing” but what's keeping you awake Sunday night. What makes your business feel heavy instead of exciting. What you're afraid to say out loud?
You might cry in the first 10 minutes. Many people do. Not because anything is wrong, but because someone is finally asking the real questions and creating space for your real answers.
15-30 Minutes: The Patterns Become Clear
I'll start reflecting back what I'm hearing. Often there are patterns you can't see from inside your own experience, patterns between how you show up in your business and stories you absorbed decades ago.
I'll name them gently. And suddenly things that felt confusing will click into place.
"Oh. THAT'S why I can't raise my prices."
"Oh. THAT'S why visibility feels dangerous."
"Oh. THAT'S why I keep over-delivering and resenting it."
30-45 Minutes: You Know Exactly What to Do Next
We'll identify 2-3 specific next steps that honor both where you are AND where you want to be. Not a massive overwhelming list that you'll never touch. Just the gentle, aligned actions that will actually move you forward.
By the time we hang up, here's what you'll feel:
✓ Lighter than you have in months
✓ Like someone finally gets the real struggle (not just the surface symptoms)
✓ Permission to trust yourself again
✓ Clear on your next step (and it doesn't feel impossible)
✓ Less alone in your journey
This isn't magic. It's what happens when someone with over 10 years of experience, a trauma-informed approach, and genuine care creates space to actually see you.
What Others Are Saying
“I cried in the first 10 minutes and left knowing exactly what to do.”
“I cried in the first 10 minutes because Rachel named something I'd been carrying for 20 years but never had words for. She connected my business struggle to e belief I didn't even know was there. By the end, I knew exactly what my next step was and for the first time it didn't feel overwhelming.”
— Care Call Participant 
“This wasn't business coaching. This was the missing piece.”
“I thought I was booking a business consultation. What I got was the missing piece I'd been searching for through three years of therapy.
Rachel connected dots I didn't even know needed connecting. Why I was burned out, why I kept attracting clients who drained me, why I couldn't set boundaries even though I knew I needed them.
15 minutes in, I understood why I'd been stuck for six months. By minute 30, I had a plan that actually felt doable. I implemented it that week.”
— Care Call Participant 
“She saw what I couldn't see.”
“Within one conversation, Rachel understood the scope of my business and my pain points better than I did. She developed a clear vision for moving forward that I'd been trying to find for a year.
Her gift is seeing what you can't see from inside your own story. I left feeling like I'd been given permission to build my business in a way that actually honors who I am.”
— Care Call Participant 
“From swimming in questions to complete clarity.”
“I came to Rachel with my head swimming with ideas, questions, and concerns. I didn't know where to start. Within 45 minutes, we got to the meat of what was actually going on beneath all the confusion.
Rachel is ultra-organized and deeply intuitive at the same time. She helped me see that I wasn't confused about strategy, I was afraid of being visible and now. I know why.”

LET’S HAVE A GENTLE CHAT FOR YOUR BRAND DREAMS
In Our Time Together, We'll Explore
Discover Your Inner Authority
Where are you seeking external validation instead of trusting your own guidance?
We'll gently identify the moments you're doubting your instincts and trace them back to where you learned that your knowing wasn't trustworthy. Often it's a specific moment. Once you see it, you can start to rewrite it.
You might discover:
Why you keep asking for permission instead of making decisions
Where the "good girl" pattern started (and why it's exhausting you now)
What it would feel like to lead from your deepest knowing instead of everyone else's opinions
Reclaim Your Vitality
How is your current business approach depleting you instead of energizing you? We'll talk about the specific ways you're overriding your needs - working when you're exhausted, saying yes when you mean no, building systems that ignore your capacity. And we'll explore what it would look like to create strategies that work WITH you.
You might discover:
Why rest feels "lazy" even though you're burned out
Where the over-functioning pattern came from (hint: it once kept you safe)
What your business could feel like if it honored your whole self
Find Freedom in Every Season
What patterns from your past are running your business decisions unconsciously?
We'll gently explore the scripts beneath your struggles. The ones whispering "you're not enough" or "your needs don't matter" or "if you stop performing, you'll be abandoned." We'll see them for what they are: old protective strategies that are ready to transform.
You might discover:
Why you can't celebrate wins without immediately moving to the next thing
Where the perfectionism comes from (and what it's protecting)
How to navigate challenges without collapsing into old patterns
Here's What You'll Leave With:
Immediate Clarity
You'll understand what's actually holding you back (it's usually not what you think)
Actionable Next Steps
2-3 specific actions that feel manageable, not overwhelming
A Different Relationship with Your Story
You'll see how your journey is your business asset, not your obstacle
Permission to Trust Yourself
You'll remember that your instincts are trustworthy
A Sense of Whether We're a Fit
You'll know if The Gentle Creative® approach resonates with you. Whether we ever work together or not, this call will shift something.
This Call Is Free. Here's Why.
I could charge $300-500 for these sessions. Many coaches do.
But Community Care is at the heart of The Gentle Creative®. I've spent 10 years building a business that proves you don't have to choose between success, your life’s callings and roles, and your wellbeing, and part of that is offering support that doesn't require you to invest before we’ve connected.
Here's what happens after our call:
Some people implement what we discussed completely on their own and thrive. Beautiful!
Some discover they're ready for deeper transformation through Foundational Scripts (9-week intensive) or Small Group (10-month journey). This is about it feeling right for you.
All paths are welcome here.
I won't pressure you to join a program. I won't sell you anything. This is real coaching with no strings attached.
The only catch is this. I can only offer a limited number of Care Calls each month.
If you're feeling that whisper of maybe this is what I need right now, book yours today.

FAQS
You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers.
-
Yes, completely free. The catch is that I can only offer limited spots each month because these are real coaching sessions, not sales calls. I give you my full presence for 45 minutes. Some months fill up quickly.
Community care is genuinely at the heart of my business. I believe sensitive entrepreneurs deserve accessible support.
-
No. This is real coaching. I won't pitch you, pressure you, or try to convince you of anything.
If you’re curious, about 40% of people who book Care Calls eventually join a paid program, but sometimes it’s months later, when they're ready. Others take what’s discovered and run with it, implementing the insights at their own pace.
All outcomes make me happy. This isn't a funnel disguised as generosity. It's actual generosity.
You'll know if we're a fit. I'll respect whatever feels right for you.
-
Please do. Your emotions are welcome here.
Talking about business often brings up deeper feelings about worth, safety, belonging, and whether you're allowed to take up space. When we touch these tender places, tears often come. That's not something to apologize for, that's the work happening.
We'll go at your pace. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. I won't rush you through your feelings to get to “business strategy.” The feelings ARE the business strategy.
-
Perfect. That's actually very common.
You might just know that something feels off or I'm tired or this isn't working anymore. That's enough. Part of our conversation will be gently uncovering what's actually going on beneath the surface confusion.
Often people book thinking they need help with one thing (marketing, pricing, systems) and discover the real issue is something deeper (boundaries, worthiness, old patterns). We'll find it together.
-
You won't waste my time. Supporting you IS the point.
These calls exist because I genuinely believe in Community Care. Whether you ever become a paying client is irrelevant to whether this conversation is valuable.
If you're reading this, you deserve support.
-
We meet through a free app called Voxer. It's voice-based (think walkie-talkie style), which allows us to have a real, flowing conversation without the pressure of video or the rigidity of a scheduled phone call.
Most people love it because:
No need to worry about how you look
You can be in your comfy clothes at home
The conversation feels more intimate and natural
You can re-listen to parts if you want
I'll send simple setup instructions after you book. It takes about 2 minutes.
-
I hear this often. And it makes sense that you'd be hesitant.
Here's what's different about The Gentle Creative® approach. We don't just work on surface-level strategy. We work on the foundational scripts underneath your business decisions.
Most business coaching asks “what's your marketing plan?” I ask “where did you learn that being visible isn't safe?” Most coaching says “just do it anyway.” I say “let's understand what's stopping you, honor it, and gently explore a new way.”
If you've tried everything else and nothing has shifted, it might be because you've been working on symptoms instead of root causes.
This call will help you see the difference.
-
If you're reading this and feeling a mix of hope (maybe this could help) and nervousness (what if I'm not ready), that's actually a perfect sign you're ready.
If you're tired of doing business in ways that don't honor your whole self, you're ready!
Your Invitation
You've been trying to figure this out on your own for long enough. You've read the books, taken the courses, followed the formulas. And still something feels off. Still you're exhausted. Still you're stuck.
What if the answer isn't another strategy? What if it's being truly seen?
In 45 minutes, we can:
Identify what's actually holding you back (it's usually not what you think)
Trace it back to where it started (often decades ago)
See how your story is your asset, not your obstacle
Create 2-3 gentle next steps that honor your whole self
This is how transformation begins. Not through forcing or hustling or powering through. Through witnessing. Through gentleness. Through honoring the wisdom your journey has given you.
These fill up. If you're feeling the pull, let’s get started.
After you book, you'll receive an email with everything you need to know. No homework, no prep required, no pressure. Just show up exactly as you are.I look forward to witnessing you.— Rachel
