When Rachel’s not coaching working mothers or listening to an endless soundtrack of podcasts, she’s hanging out with her 8 and 5 year old daughters—who rock her world. When she told her older daughter, Jane, that she was a coach—explaining that other working moms tell her their hopes and dreams and she helps them make their dreams come true, Jane looked her dead in the eyes and said, “Mom, that’s not a job.” Since then, Jane has learned that women and moms can run their own successful businesses and that people can change their careers—even at 40 (which to Jane is very, very old)! Rachel is most herself when she’s connecting people to each other, to things, to whatever they may need and as a result—she is the Kevin Bacon of her community. Her friends affectionately call this phenomenon, “The Rachel Garrett Explosion.” Rachel lives with her husband and daughters in Park Slope, Brooklyn and is a proud lifelong New Yorker. 

Help A Working Mom By Sharing This

When my older daughter started Kindergarten in a new school and my younger was in her terrible two’s, I had taken on a larger role at work and in short—life was complicated. Mornings were a shit show of epic proportion. I came to expect all three of us to be crying as I locked the apartment door to start each new day. At the time I thought, "Wow. I’m simply sucking at this." And then to top it off, the subway would take its sweet time on my commute. I arrived late and was already behind for each meeting. All day I fought against the sad nagging feeling that I wasn’t winning any awards at the office, either! 

I knew I had to do something to break me out of that daily cycle of failure and despair. So, I took the natural next step for any overwhelmed working mom. 

I signed up for the New York City Marathon. 

Wait. What the what???

At the time, I couldn’t articulate to anyone why I was doing it. I had run a few races, but slowwwly…and never anything as intense as the magical, daunting 26.2. It was unreasonable. Unthinkable. And that’s exactly why I knew I had to do it! 

It was something powerful; proof that I could conquer my deepest fears and trust my intuition. It was the gift that forced me to lean on and be lifted by my people. And they were all in too. After five months of training, my six-year-old sat us down the night before the race and said, "I want us all to close our eyes and picture mommy crossing the finish line of the marathon." Love and tears. Enough said. 

The marathon made me realize—I’m not that great a runner and I ran a freakin’ marathon!! What can I do with the things I’m REALLY great at??? And then, my coaching practice was born. 

Sometimes it’s that simple. We need something to shake us out of reacting to our lives so that we can create the life we want.

And if running a marathon isn’t your thing…that’s ok! I have something else that can shake you out of a life of:

Autopilot

Overwhelm

Guilt 

Perfectionism

It’s called WORKING MOTHER MASTERCLASS—and I’m so over the top excited to be sharing it with you! It’s the culmination of three years of helping women to end their self-sabotage so they can build lives they love. And it will be a major focus of mine this year in my mission to get more women into positions of power. 

In the 8-week group coaching program we’ll:

  1. Build out your life vision and learn what you want in your core.
  2. Figure out what’s getting in your way (ie. guilt, perfectionism, difficulty saying no).
  3. Master the work-life juggle by giving clear strategies to get out of overwhelm.
  4. Up-level your leadership by defining your leadership style and personal brand, while improving your communication and learning to promote yourself in an authentic way.
  5. Create a plan for self-care, fuel and fun! 
  6. Incorporate concrete ways to help other women.
  7. Provide the accountability of a badass group of motivated and committed women.
  8. Work through the challenges of what it’s like to be a woman in today’s workplace in a safe and supportive environment.

There’s only room for TEN women in this group and it starts January 30th! Sign up now to reserve your spot. They’re going FAST! 

If it sounds like it’s for you, you can learn more about signing up here or schedule a Clarity Call with me to talk through the details. 

Or, if you know someone who sounds like a good fit for the program, forward this email or feel free to reach out to me. 

This is going to be BIG—so join me. Real talk, real change for the real life you’re meant to live.

I'm a coach, a wife, a life-long Joni Mitchell fan, and a people connector, but by far the job I’m most proud of—is being a mom to my two daughters, Jane and Roxanne. I offer Career and Leadership Coaching to women after the life-changing and mind-blowing milestone of becoming a mother. By partnering with women to more closely align their lives with their values, passions and strengths, I help them feel accomplished and confident in both career and motherhood.
