Don’t Quit Now: The Power of Relationships, Resilience, and Showing Up

Rachel reflects on her recent experience at the NFL Annual Meetings, where she was one of just a few speakers invited to address all 32 heads of player engagement. In this episode, she unpacks the power of authenticity, boldness, and true connection—reminding us that opportunities aren’t just given, they’re created when we step up, pitch ourselves with confidence, and build real relationships instead of chasing transactions. She also challenges us to reflect on the words we use to define ourselves—because what you call yourself matters.How we see ourselves shapes the way we show up in the world. Get ready for a conversation filled with inspiration, truth, and a call to lift each other up as we walk boldly toward our purpose.
