Rachael Calvert | Building a Business and Finding Alignment
In this episode, Chris sits down with Rachael Calvert.
Rachael shares her journey through major life changes, personal growth, and the experiences that have shaped the way she sees herself and the world around her. They talk about the realities of navigating uncertainty, the emotional weight that can come with big transitions, and what it takes to rebuild confidence and direction when life doesn’t go to plan.
Rachael also speaks about her work and the evolution of her brand, including what inspired her to create it, how it has grown over time, and the lessons that come with building something of your own. We explore the balance between ambition and wellbeing, the pressure that can come with running a business, and how personal experiences often influence the way we lead, create, and show up professionally.
Throughout the conversation, Rachael reflects on self-awareness, learning to listen to your own needs, and the ongoing work of setting boundaries and making healthier choices. It’s an honest and grounded episode about growth, reflection, and creating a life — and work — that feels more aligned.
