Hello and welcome back. This week I interview a:
- Renowned Life coach
- Best-selling author
- Widely Successful Motivational Speaker
- Cancer survivor
While Rachel Luna answers to all of these titles, none of them truly define or wholly describe her.
Rachel’s life has been filled with tragedies that by themselves might paralyze others or even cause them to give up completely.
Having lost both of her parents at a young age, Rachel became estranged from her siblings when they were separated by the state….she struggled with anorexia….depression….and alcoholism….to name just a few of the incredible challenges she has faced.
But Rachel didn’t give up.
She didn’t fall prey to self-doubt or self-pity.
No…..Rachel Luna used all of those tragedies to fuel her passion….CHANGING PEOPLE’S LIVES.
First…..though….she had to change her own.
In this compelling conversation, Rachel shares her story of tragedy and triumph. She takes us from the streets of New York City, around the globe, stopping in Iraq, Hollywood, and Wall Street, only to figure out that it doesn’t matter where you ARE…but what really matters is WHAT YOU DO.
So, grab a tissue, get ready for a fistbump, and prepare to stand on your chair and shout, “I CAN!” as you listen to this inspirational Wealthy Wellthy Podcast with Rachel Luna.
