me | i believe

Hi. I’m Rachel. Let’s get acquainted. I’ll start…

I’VE GOT certified life coaching superpowers thanks to The Coaches Training Institute (CPCC to be exact). A Masters degree in Holistic Health Education from John F. Kennedy University. A glorious gap between my front teeth.

I RAN for 4th grade class secretary. My campaign slogan? “Reach Your Goal with Rachel Cole.” I heart foreshadowing.

I’M HIGH on ideas. Ideas are my Art. From my Fulfillment Pyramid Project to The Porridge Manifesto, the light bulb is always on.

I’VE TEAMED and schemed with some of the most delicious people. Helped launch 18 Reasons—a trailblazing epicenter of community and food. Honed my quinoa skills with cookery goddess Heidi Swanson. Became a weed whisperer on Peter Martinelli’s organic farm. Masterminded the infamous Edible Pursuit trivia night. Curated programs for the Center for Urban Education on Sustainable Agriculture. And I’m just getting started.

I’VE SAT CROSS-LEGGED at Tassajara Zen Center, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, with the joyful James Baraz, and while being schooled in the mindful ways of Jon Kabat-Zinn. (I’m not a Buddhist, but I’ve learned a lot from some of the best.)

I’M TRULY FORTUNATE I beat my eating disorder. And I’m way wiser, so much deeper, and insanely more compassionate for it.

I AM an INFJ (like Gandhi & Oprah…just sayin’). A Leo (Scorpio moon, Scorpio rising). Pro-active. Ideaphoric. Sagacious beyond my years (so I’ve been told). Full of love for you. And an instigator of ease.

I WANT to know: what are YOU truly hungry for?
