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:positivity and see all the possibilities. And so the

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: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
