WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
I came to Rachel at a time in my life when I had everything I dreamed of — a successful job, strong marriage, wonderful kids, financial stability — and yet I wasn’t happy. Life wasn’t fun. There was no laughter. The stress of maintaining our lifestyle was killing my family. My husband’s job was suffering due to responsibilities at home. The kids were stressed as a result of our stress and our constant schedule strains. I was putting too much pressure on myself to be perfect. I knew something needed to change but I was too lost in my problems to work out the solution on my own.
Through a series of conversations with Rachel, I was able to examine these issues and set priorities. My husband and I discussed alternative solutions to our work-life balance and what it would take to act on those scenarios. I also had personal changes to examine. How was I going to relax and be kinder to myself?
The process took time. Some questions I’m still working on to this day. Our first priority was to balance our family life. My husband and I made some tough choices but I’m happy to say our kids are flourishing. Their school work and confidence has improved significantly. My husband’s career has improved dramatically now that he can dedicate time to work guilt free. I still may not cook the perfect dinner but I’m okay with that. No one is starving and everyone is healthy. We have time for fun family activities and most importantly, there is laughter in our house again.
The insight and advice Rachel gave me was literally groundbreaking for my life. Four different therapists over 10 years failed to identify what Rachel was able to observe in just a 90-minute conversation with me.
Her blend of humor, rich life experience and down-to-earth pragmatism gives her a truly unique perspective – and she can relate, mom-to-mom, which is totally refreshing.
If you’re on the fence about working with a life coach, I get it – I was too. But I’m so glad I did. That 90-minute session was like a present that I gave myself.
The best way I can describe my coaching session with Rachel is: incredibly enlightening! Rachel is a great listener and I was super comfortable talking openly with her without any fear of judgment. In just one hour, she was able to drill down to the root cause of the issues I was experiencing in my relationships! I love that I got so much awareness out of our session and was also able to walk way with measurable goals to focus on.
Just before New Year’s Eve, I was sitting down at my computer writing out goals and dreams for the New Year, and it hit me…I needed this new year to be different, I needed a change, I needed to get focused, organized, 100% goal driven, and I desperately wanted a family/work balance that currently wasn’t present.
Not knowing where or how to start this journey, I had read a few reviews about Rachel Burch Coaching, and decided to go outside my comfort zone and pick up the phone. My first call with her was amazing, and I wanted more.
From then on, she gave me direction, tools for success, roadmaps for my journey. She guided me to continue to step outside my box and truly make things happen.
Things that I didn’t think I had the courage to do or handle, Rachel guided me to break up old beliefs and fears, and conquer new horizons, achieve goals, and make things happen.
She helped me work through business goals and personal goals. She helped me find a balance between work, and shutting off to be with family. She helped me get my personal life organized so that I have happy smiling faces at home, rather than stressed and anxious faces! She helped me find my courage to make business decisions, and conquer dreams that I thought I could never achieve.
This was not a quick fix, but really an amazing journey that I got to look at myself, and really dive into what I want in life, and achieve my goals and dreams, all while creating a balance of work and family. Rachel is an amazing coach, and I am so blessed that I made the decision to call her into my life. Everybody needs a Rachel!
I felt like I wasn’t giving anything in my life the time and energy it needed. Rachel helped me see that there are areas that could be delegated (a difficult word for many women). This was the best hour I have devoted to my life, family and business. To have Rachel not only listen to my needs and desires but to help me come up with an achievable action plan is so helpful! I am going to be less frantic and that good energy is going to attract good people into my team and my life.
I hope every woman can see that they are worth more than sleepless nights of to-do lists rushing through their heads and forgetful moments. Rachel has helped me to see this and I am so excited!
Rachel is a perfect combination of guidance, knowledge and love. She listens, I mean she REALLY listens. Rachel listened to me A LOT and then helped me to start putting the pieces together in a puzzle for which I didn’t have the vision or energy to see.
Her gentle but firm nudges in the right direction (a direction set by me and my intentions with Rachel’s help) to stay on the path of a higher vision. A vision she holds for me when I can’t, but teaches me how to see it for myself even when it rains. Because rain is just weather on the journey.
It is an amazing feeling knowing I have Rachel on my team.
