I'd love to speak at your event!

Hey sis! It’s Rachel, your go-to encourager and coach. I know you love our podcast talks, but imagine taking that connection to the next level – in person! I'm more than a Clarity Coach; I'm someone who's been in the trenches, juggling All The Things. I get it! I’ve danced with chaos, overloaded schedules, and the struggle to prioritize self-care. But I found the rhythm, and I've got the strategies to help your ladies create some breathing room. So, if you're organizing an event, whether it's a conference, church gathering, or retreat, and you want a speaker who brings humor, real talk, and a dose of inspiration, I'm your girl. Let's chat about making your event a memorable one. Visit racheldbaker.com/speaking.
