SPACES I’VE FACILITATED

you must learn where I’ve been (literally & figuratively).

TO UNDERSTAND MY WORK,

Here’s the short & sweet version of my deeply-rooted story.

  • My parents, grandparents, & the glory, grind, and grit of Detroit

  • Music & Motown. For those from the D or who know our rich history, the two are interchangeable. Growing up in the heart of Motown, I learned early on that music was a powerful form of self-expression. And what beautiful art it was! In fact, it’s intricately woven into my family line. My cousin, Florence Ballard, was a founding member of The Supremes, and my great-grandmother went to school with one of the R&B greats, Jackie Wilson.

    It wasn’t long before my creativity came alive. I penned original songs and poems to paper, performing and sharing my passion with others. Today, I’m a dope songwriter with future fire hits under my belt (stay tuned!).

  • Detroit, Chi-town, Austin, Orlando, Mexico, ATL, and…finally, Dallas ❤

  • Creative Flow Alchemy

  • I hold…a BA in Psychology.

    I have…12+ years of creative project management experience under my belt. Not to mention, almost eight years of experience running a successful brand consulting firm, SunRai Consulting Group.

    I have helped…a multitude of clients increase their clarity, confidence, capacity, and cash flow (I’m talking hundreds of thousands of dollars in contracts and partnerships!).

    I am…a natural-born creative dedicated to making a positive impact, giving back, and empowering others to lead with creativity.

When you identify and walk in your purpose and passion, you open yourself up to unbelievable possibilities that make a difference. You also inspire and influence others to do the same. It’s a cycle of impact. We need more creative leaders who aren’t afraid to think outside the box and challenge the status quo.

Truthfully, every stop in my journey was necessary for me to arrive where I am today. I wouldn’t do the heartfelt work I do if I didn’t experience uncertainty, rejection, criticism, and unfulfillment. I wanted to be…

Seen, heard, and understood.

We all do.

Creative Flow School is my love letter to leaders seeking a place in this world where they can create and exist authentically and wholly. An environment that says it’s OK if you’re “walking to the beat of your own drum.”

We prefer it that way.

I want to teach you how to discover, tap into, and leverage your creative flow to create abundance, change, and mind-blowing opportunities in this world…for you and the generations to follow.

LOVE LETTERS FROM CLIENTS

  • I invited Rachel on my Instagram as a friend, colleague, and a visionary thinker. I'm so impressed by how Rachel telles stories in service to the work. I think people connect to others' lived experiences especially if they're textured with practical how-to's, tips, and strategies. Rachel's orations are both educational AND entertaining and I love how she invites others in then provides meaningful content within that listening. Rachel's grounded-approach to flexible lives made her a perfect guest for my audience of astrology enthusiasts and students of comparative personal growth systems. I love how she has a grip on both the metaphysical and physical world. Others would want to give Rachel their utmost consideration to speak to their community if they're looking for a soulful, secular, and innovative approach to life-management and integrity from a brilliant woman who's gravitas and moral authority in her work radiates.

    -Colin Ryan Bedell

  • I heard Rachel on an IGTV chat with a mutual friend and was immediately drawn in by her approach to creativity, flow, and how to align to our own inner wisdom. I knew that I wanted to amplify her work and mission with my podcast community. Her wit and warmth and commitment to helping others be their most authentically expressed selves is rare to see in the world today. Rachel’s ability to see others, empathize with them, and encourage them to rise to their potential (so they can make the world a better place) makes her a unique and captivating speaker.

    -Steph Gaudreau

  • Rachel is a thoughtful leader and phenomenal speaker! Due to her natural ability to capture the audience and her relevant content I approached her to speak at two of my platform engagements. I had the pleasure of interviewing her for my podcast and her episode helped drive over 200 listeners and visitors to my site. With such great feedback on her topic Creative Flow Alchemy, I made the proposal for her to speak at my entrepreneurial brunch. Thankfully, she agreed to share her gifts with over 50 guests and the post-event survey results quantified her amazing topic. Guests left feeling renewed, confident, and ready to take action. I look forward to working with her again to provide profound insight to my audience.
