Rachel Godfrey “ Do you want me to be Kind, or want me to be Nice..?”
This week, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Rachel Godfrey- Blonde. Wild. Spiritual. Disruptive. Delusionally Optimistic. Rachel is a former physiotherapist, professional trainer, and high-performance mentor with over 19 years of experience operating at the intersection of health, strength, and leadership.
She has built multiple performance consulting and digital businesses, advised senior executives and entrepreneurs, and had her work published globally in outlets including Oxygen Magazine, Shape, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Fitness, Entrepreneur.com, the Sydney Morning Herald, and The National UAE.
Known as the “A-Players Mentor” and co-director of Chase Life Consulting, Rachel has earned a reputation for working with people who operate at the top — and who refuse to be managed with soft answers.
At the core of Rachel’s work is a simple but confronting question: do you want kindness, or do you want nice?
Raised as a tomboy in Wales, forged through rugby, and shaped early in her career by treating severely injured soldiers in a military ICU, Rachel learned that real performance is built through emotional resilience, personal responsibility, and doing the minimum effective work required — not endless grind.
Her coaching blends scientific precision with deep identity and mindset work, challenging high-achieving women (especially over 35) to rebalance strength, femininity, and self-worth without abandoning ambition.
Today, Rachel mentors executives and entrepreneurs to align body, business, and identity through strength training, intelligent supplementation, and direct, no-nonsense coaching. Her work focuses on sustainable performance, fast belief-building wins, and teaching clients how to lead with both power and awareness. This episode is an unfiltered conversation about trauma, discipline, mindset, and what it actually takes to perform at a high level — without losing yourself in the process.
