Howard Brown:

all about the mindset. So her infectious positivity led her to

Howard Brown:

become a motivational TEDx speaker. She has a book coming

Howard Brown:

Howard Brown:

hopefully, if timing works, right. And Rachel grew up in the

Howard Brown:

burbs of Detroit, Michigan, where I am here sitting at right

Howard Brown:

now. So I'm at the home girl, and I'm here I'm back back here

Howard Brown:

in the in the hood. And she's studied art and in the fashion

Howard Brown:

business. And then we're going to take her through her journey

Howard Brown:

of moving to from Detroit to New York to Chicago to LA. And then

Howard Brown:

we've got a big Gotcha. Okay, she had a near fatal

Howard Brown:

snowboarding accident. And oh, my God, did she have to overcome

Howard Brown:

so much? And this is what this show is about. It's about

Howard Brown:

overcoming and inspiration and motivation. And we're gonna get

Howard Brown:

into that as well. And I consider us both Humpty Dumpty.

Howard Brown:

Were both a work in progress. Right? We're trying to put them

Howard Brown:

back together again, we have so much, you know, we're aligned

Howard Brown:

that way. Right? Right. And so she will actually offer some

Howard Brown:

five steps towards radical resiliency. And she'll show you

Howard Brown:

how meeting challenges head on and all these setbacks, okay.

Howard Brown:

are really gifts to be able to power through and be calm and

Howard Brown:

find your purpose and become your authentic self. Rachel, I

Howard Brown:

am just so happy. We met a while ago. And we have a shared

Howard Brown:

friend. Let's shout out Maggie cook. Right? What's up Maggie

Howard Brown:

And she's amazing. And I just want you to share with the group

Howard Brown:

something that they might not know about. Yeah. If you're

Howard Brown:

willing to share.

Rachel Rose:

Oh, well, probably that I box. You box like you got

Rachel Rose:

oh, look that she's got a bag a heavy bag.

Howard Brown:

Oh, you're a toughy don't mess with Rachel.

Howard Brown:

She's got she's boxing. So that's how you keep fit. And

Howard Brown:

that's part of your workout. Oh, you're

Rachel Rose:

And from the time I was 11, I just felt like I

Rachel Rose:

needed to be somewhere else. My father invited me on a trip to

Rachel Rose:

New York. And the second we landed before we got off the

Rachel Rose:

plane. I looked at him and I said, I'm gonna live here one

Rachel Rose:

day, I it was so crazy. It was like I landed and I felt like I

Rachel Rose:

was home. And I did 18 years later, not even 10 years after

Rachel Rose:

that. So good memories from Motown.

Howard Brown:

So let's, let's dig in a little deeper. So

Howard Brown:

fitting in, in the in the suburbs of Detroit. So just talk

Howard Brown:

to talk a little bit about that, because that's part of how you

Howard Brown:

know what shaped you and and wanted you to go to New York and

Howard Brown:

pursue fashion and all that sort of stuff. So talk about that a

Howard Brown:

little bit.

Rachel Rose:

Yeah, just my dad ran one of the hottest fashion

Rachel Rose:

stores in downtown Birmingham. And so I think that was my

Rachel Rose:

invitation to fashion. I had a lot of art around me, my aunt

Rachel Rose:

was at Cranbrook and my parents were artistic musically and, and

Rachel Rose:

in the art world, but I just I always I just felt like I didn't

Rachel Rose:

belong I wanted I wanted to be more of an individual and I

Rachel Rose:

think I felt extreme pressure to fit in. More so than being able

Rachel Rose:

to be who I wanted to be in every way, you know, by you

Rachel Rose:

know, the way that I was raised and just living in the suburbs

Rachel Rose:

of Detroit and and once I got to New York and everybody was kind

Rachel Rose:

of had their blinders on and they were sort of in their own

Rachel Rose:

lane and not really focused on what everybody else was doing

Rachel Rose:

and I just I connected With that I connected with just like being

Rachel Rose:

me in this big, amazing place of everyone doing different things

Rachel Rose:

and just individual and crazy. And it just felt less judgement

Rachel Rose:

and it felt like home.

Howard Brown:

Yeah, so you start to find yourself, and really

Howard Brown:

where your true happiness was coming from was art in fashion

Howard Brown:

in New York. And it's a big city that, you know, a lot of people,

Howard Brown:

that's a challenging city, but you embraced it. And it just,

Howard Brown:

it's sort of you grew, you grew from being in New York,

Rachel Rose:

no question, no question. You know, and even in

Rachel Rose:

Detroit, find, like finding those places in those outlets,

Rachel Rose:

like going to, you know, eight mile and I went to centre for

Rachel Rose:

Creative Studies for a minute down in Detroit way before they

Rachel Rose:

were rebuilding it. I mean, a security guard would, you know,

Rachel Rose:

pick us up at our car and walk us to the front door covered

Rachel Rose:

with barbed wire? So, you know, so it just, it was a more direct

Rachel Rose:

route, I think once I got to the, to the big city in New

Rachel Rose:

York.

Howard Brown:

Right. And so then you're single, I imagine

Howard Brown:

enjoying everything New York is giving to you, right? And what

Howard Brown:

are some of the cool things that you remember about New York?

Rachel Rose:

New York was just it was it around every corner?

Rachel Rose:

Something else amazing. I went, I went to fashion school, I

Rachel Rose:

lived in Spanish Harlem, you know, love taking the subway

Rachel Rose:

asked her asked her Barber was like a really big thing back

Rachel Rose:

then, where people were shaving their heads and punk rock and

Rachel Rose:

alternative music. And I mean, so many things were happening

Rachel Rose:

then that they're, they're not even around, but they set the

Rachel Rose:

stage. And then I was a costume designer for a high school and

Rachel Rose:

the night we were doing Play It Again, Sam, I walked out of my

Rachel Rose:

apartment to take the train to rockville centre. And who was

Rachel Rose:

standing on the street. Woody Allen. And he literally I mean,

Rachel Rose:

we lit he walked me all the way to the train. I said we're

Rachel Rose:

literally doing played against them tonight. So that was

Rachel Rose:

amazing. And I served hot chicken wings to Brian Gumbel.

Rachel Rose:

And I showed David Spade his first apartment in Jersey City

Rachel Rose:

before he was famous. And I and my apartment was getting broken

Rachel Rose:

into and I was waiting tables and I got to be really good

Rachel Rose:

friends with the guardian angels and crazy crazy, like another

Rachel Rose:

lifetime, but definitely a capsule in time. That was

Rachel Rose:

amazing. And, and a lot of things grew out of that.

Howard Brown:

You came out of your shell, right? Yeah, you

Howard Brown:

really grew.

Rachel Rose:

I you know what, whatever came, I was waiting

Rachel Rose:

tables. I was going to fashion school. I was doing art shows

Rachel Rose:

and making paintings for people. And it just it was there.

Rachel Rose:

Whatever was happening. I did it. I just wanted to take

Rachel Rose:

advantage of all of it. I actually yeah.

Howard Brown:

And so Okay, now. Now I think then you're going

Howard Brown:

next is Chicago. And this is sort of that's the mom phase,

Howard Brown:

would you call it? You got married and had kids? Right?

Rachel Rose:

Yeah, but not initially, initially, it was 10

Rachel Rose:

years in New York. And I felt like my art and fashion couldn't

Rachel Rose:

support my art and fashion came out to California that might

Rachel Rose:

have been when you were here, Howard. And it just it was so

Rachel Rose:

much of an extreme after being in New York. It didn't resonate

Rachel Rose:

back then. And my dad invited me to Chicago, he had moved there.

Rachel Rose:

And I went to go stay with him. And I loved it. It felt like you

Rachel Rose:

know enough of a city but with the with the Midwest, and I

Rachel Rose:

loved it. And then and then my high fashion background was not

Rachel Rose:

connecting with the Midwest. And so I finally landed the line of

Rachel Rose:

speedo, if you know Speedo swim trunks. And then I said this is

Rachel Rose:

not fashion anymore. And I actually found a job in

Rachel Rose:

financing and that that was a whole nother experience amazing.

Rachel Rose:

I did all the restaurants bars and nightclubs in Chicago and

Rachel Rose:

was was grateful earn earn ended up running the office and

Rachel Rose:

becoming a VP and with my art and fashion background, so don't

Rachel Rose:

let anyone tell you what you're capable of. And that was

Rachel Rose:

amazing. And that was a whole nother a whole nother chapter

Rachel Rose:

and then in that job was Len I met the Cisco rep when I was

Rachel Rose:

financing all the restaurants, he was selling all the food. And

Rachel Rose:

that was where, you know, that was the next chapter of being a

Rachel Rose:

mom.

Howard Brown:

Okay, and so you end up having three kids, right?

Rachel Rose:

Three kids. I was the breadwinner. So I wasn't I

Rachel Rose:

wasn't a stay at home mom, but I was a mom and ran the fashion

Rachel Rose:

company. And then yeah, I mean, they're my greatest gifts. Of

Rachel Rose:

course.

Howard Brown:

That's it's amazing. All right. So now this

Howard Brown:

is, this is the tough part. So this is really where you

Howard Brown:

actually had a near fatal snowboarding accident. So step

Howard Brown:

us through kind of what happened and kind of, you know, as much

Howard Brown:

as you can want to share, because I know they get the book

Howard Brown:

coming out. But share with us a little bit about that tragic

Howard Brown:

moment here that you faced.

Rachel Rose:

So I became a single mom, and decided I was

Rachel Rose:

going to learn how to snowboard and medicine aboard boyfriend

Rachel Rose:

and went snowboarding for five days, was in good conditions in

Rachel Rose:

Chicago. So actually went to Boyne. And it was a sheet of

Rachel Rose:

ice, and I'm very stubborn. And at the end of the long weekend,

Rachel Rose:

I fell 500 times but I had a helmet on. And I came back to

Rachel Rose:

Chicago to mom and running the finance company. And one day I

Rachel Rose:

got downtown and didn't know how I was there. How I ended up down

Rachel Rose:

there. And only so my mom would feel better. Did I grab my

Rachel Rose:

youngest get a CAT scan? And the doctor came out within 45

Rachel Rose:

seconds and said, Do you have someone that can pick your son

Rachel Rose:

up, please find him a ride home, kiss him goodbye. You're

Rachel Rose:

bleeding front to back. And we need your will. And we have an

Rachel Rose:

ambulance downstairs to take you in the trunk to the trauma

Rachel Rose:

centre. But this looks like it's going to be fatal.

Howard Brown:

So you had suffered some type of concussion

Howard Brown:

and brain bleeding.

Rachel Rose:

, it was a subdural hematoma was a traumatic brain

Rachel Rose:

injury. And it was you know what Bob Saget and Natasha

Rachel Rose:

Richardson. And if you saw the movie concussion, all the 12

Rachel Rose:

Pittsburgh Steelers, so

Rachel Rose:

most people don't survive. And so I'm so grateful. But I knew I

Rachel Rose:

wasn't done when he told me that. But it wasn't for a few

Rachel Rose:

days later, that I was still in ICU and, and, you know, realised

Rachel Rose:

that I was still alive and still and still present. And that was

Rachel Rose:

when the doctors wanted to follow the protocol, like in the

Rachel Rose:

movie. And the outcome in concussion of all the players

Rachel Rose:

was they all had committed suicide. And when I wasn't

Rachel Rose:

amenable, they sort of let me go and say, and said, we can't help

Rachel Rose:

you. And I found an angel, more holistic neurologist, about six

Rachel Rose:

months later, maybe a little bit less. And he he got me back

Rachel Rose:

where I needed to be and,

Rachel Rose:

and got me strong, and we made a goal and and then I made a goal

Rachel Rose:

to do a TED talk. And we as I was relearning everything I hear

Rachel Rose:

I am and when we interviewed, that when we were being

Rachel Rose:

interviewed, they asked how is it that we were able to you

Rachel Rose:

know, have this outcome and he said it was 100% mindset. So

Rachel Rose:

that was that was incredible to me because I know a positive

Rachel Rose:

outlook is always going to get us a more positive outcome but I

Rachel Rose:

wasn't expecting it to impact health as much as it as it as it

Rachel Rose:

did.

Howard Brown:

So you had to work hard to kind of get your short

Howard Brown:

and long term memory back get your stamina back, you know, get

Howard Brown:

your mental and emotional well being as well as your physical

Howard Brown:

well being back right. How long did that how long did that take?

Howard Brown:

Wow, it's I would say it's an ongoing process. I know you you

Howard Brown:

understand and can relate. But initially it was about 18

Howard Brown:

months. Okay to get back to you know, I I have videos of people

Howard Brown:

teaching me how to use a calendar and the computer and

Howard Brown:

but

Rachel Rose:

I was I was blessed to find this to be connected to

Rachel Rose:

this. My angel Dr. And really helped me and continue a

Rachel Rose:

continues to every time there's a new

Rachel Rose:

Do something to try. He puts it out there. And definitely, you

Rachel Rose:

know, moving again, was a big part of, of the growth in the

Rachel Rose:

process.

Howard Brown:

So this time you decided to do the healing in the

Howard Brown:

warm weather in LA.

Rachel Rose:

Yeah, it wasn't about the healing and the warm

Rachel Rose:

weather. I mean, definitely the sunshine, it was more, I always

Rachel Rose:

sort of thought I'd end up here again. But it was more something

Rachel Rose:

I did for the time it for my son, sometimes we do things for

Rachel Rose:

our kids that we wouldn't necessarily do for ourselves.

Rachel Rose:

And he was feeling the same way I did growing up in the north

Rachel Rose:

shore of Chicago, when I left Detroit, he was feeling like he

Rachel Rose:

needed to kind of get out there and, and be who he needed to be.

Rachel Rose:

So that was why we initially came out here, everybody was

Rachel Rose:

against it, except for my neurologist. And what will could

Rachel Rose:

benefit everybody is that when you put yourself another reason

Rachel Rose:

to get uncomfortable, when you put yourself in uncomfortable

Rachel Rose:

position situations, and you do things that you're not used to

Rachel Rose:

doing, you actually, you actually gain more

Rachel Rose:

neurotransmitters and you can increase your your brain

Rachel Rose:

activity to another level by just even eating something

Rachel Rose:

different for breakfast, going a different way to work sleeping

Rachel Rose:

on the opposite side of the bed. So he said he was the only

Rachel Rose:

person that could have told me not to go. And he said you need

Rachel Rose:

to go because you're going to get as close to 99% as you can,

Rachel Rose:

by putting yourself in this situation. And he was it was he

Rachel Rose:

was right.

Howard Brown:

Right. So now you're basically you know, as

Howard Brown:

you said, it's kind of starting over. Right? You're getting a

Howard Brown:

chance, I always call it, you know, putting Humpty Dumpty back

Howard Brown:

together again, version two or three Oh, now for me. So you're

Howard Brown:

now you know, out there. So you you set a goal to actually tell

Howard Brown:

your story on the TEDx stage? Correct.

Rachel Rose:

That was the original plan. That wasn't the

Rachel Rose:

ultimate talk. But that was the original play on Yes.

Rachel Rose:

Congratulations, though, it's still a beautiful accomplishment

Rachel Rose:

as well. And tell me about a little bit, you're excited,

Rachel Rose:

you're almost coming down the finish line of having to be a

Rachel Rose:

published author and have a book coming out, right? Yes, yes,

Rachel Rose:

it's taken a couple years of, you know, getting getting over

Rachel Rose:

everything mentally, physically, emotionally. And this was a big

Rachel Rose:

project. And I'm super excited because I, I finally feel like I

Rachel Rose:

have the clarity to go forward and really make an impact and

Rachel Rose:

hopefully show others what's possible and, and give them

Rachel Rose:

hope, whatever situation or circumstance they're going

Rachel Rose:

through, so that, you know, you have to get to the other side,

Rachel Rose:

right to be able to see had the hindsight and let your hindsight

Rachel Rose:

be someone else's foresight and hopefully, inspiration to keep

Rachel Rose:

going and not give up. That's why That's why the snowboard

Rachel Rose:

with the Big B is so always in in my in my vision somewhere so

Rachel Rose:

that I can be reminded of the blessings and the lessons.

Rachel Rose:

Absolutely the blessings for sure. And so now you've gone

Rachel Rose:

through a little bit of a training and so mental fitness

Rachel Rose:

consultant, Positive Intelligence coach, tell my

Rachel Rose:

audience what that involves. That was amazing. It was

Rachel Rose:

something that I was gifted. And it I took it on thinking of

Rachel Rose:

anything positive is good, right? And it came from, from

Rachel Rose:

Stanford, so no one's gonna say no to that. And I went through

Rachel Rose:

some more set additional obstacles over the past eight

Rachel Rose:

months. And that's when it came into my life. And it was so

Rachel Rose:

profoundly impactful. And it kind of followed the same steps

Rachel Rose:

and supported my radical resilience programme. And it's

Rachel Rose:

about tapping in to the positive side of your brain, and actually

Rachel Rose:

being able to see gifts and opportunities and possibilities

Rachel Rose:

from any set of circumstances. We, we all have a judge, right?

Rachel Rose:

And a negative voice inside of us that's, you know, driving us,

Rachel Rose:

and it's amazing. You can actually train your brain to see

Rachel Rose:

come from the right side, with positivity, even enough that it

Rachel Rose:

would show up on an MRI, and so many gifts and possibilities

Rachel Rose:

come out of every single situation.

Rachel Rose:

That and circumstance that we're going through. And it's training

Rachel Rose:

your your brain to be able to see the gifts and an

Rachel Rose:

opportunity.

Howard Brown:

Well, you help help people now to do that from

Howard Brown:

personal lived experience, I do too. So I do say that, you know,

Howard Brown:

we all get knocked down in life and in family and in business,

Howard Brown:

and for you and I in health, and you, you have to appreciate that

Howard Brown:

darkness and learn from it, but you can't stay there too long.

Howard Brown:

And you have to get back up again, you have to get back up

Howard Brown:

again. And you and I are, are perfect examples of getting back

Howard Brown:

up again, and trying to rebuild, and to put put things back

Howard Brown:

together again, and and it can be done, it can be done. And for

Howard Brown:

many people, it's it's very, very difficult. But you and I

Howard Brown:

are living examples of doing that so well. And so it's just

Howard Brown:

truly a tribute that to be able to do that you've overcome a lot

Howard Brown:

and you are an inspiration. And it's truly, truly amazing. So

Howard Brown:

what we're going to do now, okay, is we actually are doing

Howard Brown:

the shining, brightly spotlight, so you are glowing like crazy. I

Howard Brown:

need sunglasses here. And I want people to, you know, know how to

Howard Brown:

get a hold of you. And then I'd love for you to share some final

Howard Brown:

comments with the audience.

Rachel Rose:

Thank you, yes, I would love to be in touch with

Rachel Rose:

all of you. And I have a blueprint to share that Howard,

Rachel Rose:

I'll give you right at wit to reclaim your power and your

Rachel Rose:

positivity and see all the possibilities. And so the

Rachel Rose:

website is Rachel Rose live.com. And we can book a call, call

Rachel Rose:

with Rachael rose.com. And I would love to uncover the gifts

Rachel Rose:

that lie on whatever on the other side of whatever you're

Rachel Rose:

going through. And I think something that I would love

Rachel Rose:

everybody to consider is that and Howard, you're a testament

Rachel Rose:

to this as well, is that health is not just what we feed our

Howard Brown:

Oh, it's it's really, really important.

Howard Brown:

Because, you know, what we've learned is that, that we've

Howard Brown:

body, it's what we feed our mind. It's what we say to

Howard Brown:

learned actually, that we can be a givers. And that, you know, we

Howard Brown:

were helped individually in our own circumstances, I'm so

Howard Brown:

ourselves. And it's for sure the people we surround ourselves

Howard Brown:

grateful to you know, that our caregivers and the people that

Howard Brown:

offered a prayer or helped us out. And now it's a way to take

Howard Brown:

with. So I'm grateful for you, Howard, and thank you for

Howard Brown:

what we went through and to share with others, and to

Howard Brown:

provide some hope, some inspiration

Howard Brown:

letting me share.

Howard Brown:

that they can actually get get their lives back as well. And

Howard Brown:

we've both proven that and truly amazing, truly amazing. I can't

Howard Brown:

wait for your book. I'm so excited. You're still working on

Howard Brown:

the title, right? You're trying to figure out

Rachel Rose:

Yeah, the radical resilience or the the price of

Rachel Rose:

perfection, but definitely not not a big book and easy to read,

Rachel Rose:

and hopefully an opportunity to apply the lessons and the

Rachel Rose:

blessings in to your own life. And, and again, you know, with

Rachel Rose:

the inspiration of just positive mindset and, and hope that if we

Rachel Rose:
