Unleashing and giving yourself permission to be your truest and most authentic self is one of the most vulnerable and rewarding things you can do, according to today's guest Rachel Druckenmiller, CEO, and founder of Unmuted.

Rachel, daughter of two teachers turned entrepreneurs, always knew that owning a business was in her future, but she had to learn to stop silencing herself and step in to her own to do it. In 2019 she left her role as a corporate wellness coordinator and founded Unmuted.

Through her business, Rachel is on a mission to bring out the best in people and organizations so they can lead more effectively, connect more deeply, and thrive relationally, emotionally and physically - increasing performance, strengthening trust, boosting creativity flow, and allowing people to be more fulfilled at work and at home.

She was named one of the 40 under 40 game changers by Workforce Magazine, and one of 7 wellness leaders making an impact by Employ Humanity.

In today's episode, Rachel talks about leaving her corporate job and the vulnerable process of unmuting the shy and reserved young girl she was into the vibrant, engaging business owner she is today. She shares a few tips and lessons that other wellness professionals can learn from her story, as well as where she sees herself contributing to wellness conversations in the future.

Rachel discusses her future Redesigning Wellness Academy session and her thoughts on the importance of social connectedness to holistic wellbeing. Finally, she shares what she's most excited about for 2020, and leaves us with a poignant quote and last piece of advice.
