Personal finance is usually complex and boring, but Rachel Richards’ approach is exactly the opposite! Growing up in a wealthy area but not from a wealthy family, Rachel was aware from a young age of the impact that money has on quality of life. She made a decision that she was going to change her circumstances, and that she did! Her success as a financial advisor and analyst allowed her to retire at the age of 27, and now she is living out her life’s purpose of helping other people achieve their own financial goals. Despite what it may look like from the outside, Rachel’s journey has not been easy, and in today’s episode she opens up about the mental health struggles that she experienced as a result of burnout, and the strategies she used to shift her mindset and overcome this challenging time of her life. For the last 15 minutes of this episode, Rachel and I do a coaching session where we work through an element of her business that she has been wanting to change but hasn’t known how to. Listen to today’s episode to hear it all!
