8️⃣ These days you’ll find Rachel active on LinkedIn, writing, coaching, connecting and sharing wisdom—no AI spam required.

7️⃣ Best subject line she ever wrote? “15 years ago I nearly found myself face down in an open abdomen.” That’s definitely a scroll-stopper! 🤯
December 16, 2025 at 6:36 PM
6️⃣ What’s her must-carry travel item? CHARGING CABLE (and a power converter!). Forget sand-in-your-laptop “work from the beach”. Take it from her: patio beats the beach, always.
December 16, 2025 at 6:36 PM
5️⃣ And yes, we had to talk about AI! Rachel isn’t scared: she wrote the literal glossary for an AI company & thinks of ChatGPT as a “robot intern.” Helpful? Sure. Replace real writers? Not today. AI’s for bullet points, sanity checks, and punching up drafts. Not final product!
December 16, 2025 at 6:36 PM
4️⃣ Her advice for entrepreneurs: “Almost nothing is your problem, but everything is your fault.” If you thrive on solving ridiculous problems daily, entrepreneurship is for you. Challenge is her true fuel. 🚀
December 16, 2025 at 6:36 PM
3️⃣ Anxiety hit. Living the “dream” on a Greek island didn’t feel so dreamy when Rachel realized, “I might never be able to get a real job again!” Did she panic? Nope—she decided to go ALL IN and launched Bolt From The Blue Copywriting.
December 16, 2025 at 6:36 PM
2️⃣ With a journalism background and a recession-crushed job market, she decided the farthest place from Tennessee was a good enough adventure. Enter: copywriting gigs, content mills, and mornings sunbathing in Greece while grinding out freelance work.
December 16, 2025 at 6:36 PM
1️⃣ At 22, Rachel intentionally moved to Hong Kong—only to realize she forgot a slightly important detail: a work visa. Oops! What followed was pure hustle-mode: “I need to make rent, let’s see what this freelance gig can do.” (She got paid $3.25 and was thrilled!)

9/ If you’ve ever thought you can’t do what you love AND make money—you can. Scarlett is living proof!
December 9, 2025 at 1:11 PM
8/ “You ARE in control of your life.”
Scarlett’s #1 tip? Don’t just let life happen to you. Make strategic, values-aligned decisions—and don’t be afraid to get side hustles if it bridges the gap. 💚

7/ Money mindset is 🔑.
Most people quit entrepreneurship because of financial stress—not because their ideas aren’t good. A healthy relationship with money is critical to sticking it out.
December 9, 2025 at 1:11 PM
6/ The hardest part? The early days.
Scarlett: “I kept thinking, why isn’t it working? But I realized I was just building my foundations. The first 5 years are TOUGH (but worth it)!”
December 9, 2025 at 1:11 PM
5/ Entrepreneurship isn’t all rainbows. “[Being an entrepreneur] is a huge catalyst for personal growth… You have to keep working on your mindset, resilience, and creativity.” — Scarlett
December 9, 2025 at 1:11 PM
4/ She dove deep into personal finance AND life coaching, then swung into full-on “biz hippie” mode: yoga instructor, reiki, saying YES to aligned opportunities and no to burnout. 🧘‍♀️🌸
December 9, 2025 at 1:11 PM
3/ The turning point? Realizing success isn't just about money in the bank. Scarlett discovered she was living a life misaligned with her true values. Time for a pivot!
December 9, 2025 at 1:11 PM
2/ “On paper, I was crushing it—no student loans, savings, fancy job titles… but I felt totally unfulfilled.”
Ever felt like you were checking all the boxes but your heart wasn’t in it? Yup, Scarlett has been there.
