Okay but this felt like a good idea at the time š
Like you know when you see something and your brain immediately goes
āyes. this is who I am now.ā
no questions asked
so I bought it.
and listenā¦ I stand by the vision.
the vision was strong. the vision was correct.
the end result....
slightly less comfortable than anticipated š¤£
like this is 100% a āstand there, look cute, do not move too muchā situation
not a āwear this for 6 hours and live your lifeā situation
and I feel like this is the balance no one talks about when youāre making more money
because yesā¦ be smart
yesā¦ invest
yesā¦ build
but ALSO
sometimes youāre allowed to buy the thing just because itās fun
or cute
or makes you feel like a different version of yourself for a second
even if it ends up being a āfor pictures onlyā item š
not every purchase has to be optimal
some of them can just beā¦ a story
WORTH IT.

From Welfare to 8 Figures | Hay House Author | Marketing Strategist | Mom of 3 ā¤ļø
Hi, Iām Rachel Pedersen.
Some people call me the Queen of Social Media... but I didnāt start there. My story isnāt a straight line. Itās a rollercoaster filled with mistakes, lessons, wins, and growth.
Hereās a little bit of the backstory:
2010: Became a mom at 21. Unplanned, unprepared, but determined.
2011: Became an alcoholic single mom on welfare. Rock bottom? Pretty much.
2012: Enrolled in hair school to turn my life around. Graduated with 5 job offers from the top salons in my city.
2013: Landed a job at a top salon. It felt like the start of something new.
2014: Met my husband. Married him 13 days later (yep, 13 days).
2015: We had another baby and both changed careers. Life kept evolving.
2016: Got my first real social media management client, got sober, and went viralāall in the same year.
2017: Replaced my 9-5 income, resigned, and retired my husband too. Freedom tasted good.
2018: Crossed $1,000,000 in my business and welcomed baby #3. Growth in business and family.
2019: Built a second business to $1,000,000. Turns out lightning can strike twice.
2020: Hired my dream team and scaled both businesses to 7 figures. Leadership became my new obsession.
2021: Landed a dream book deal with Hay House and gave a TEDx Talk. A surreal āpinch meā year.
2022: Hit a wall. Complete mental breakdown. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Faced my trauma, did the hard healing work, and came out stronger.
2023: Began writing fiction books with my husband - and testing out more creative marketing campaigns. Went mega-viral multiple times, too!
2024: Started our consulting company, Pelanora, and scaled some pretty cool businesses.
2025: About to be the most exciting year yet!
Today, I run multiple 7-figure businesses, help entrepreneurs scale without losing their sanity, and teach marketing strategies that actually work. No gimmicks, no sleazy tactics, just authentic growth.
Because success isnāt about having a perfect story - itās about writing your own, one messy, beautiful chapter at a time.
