About Me
Hey, I’m Rachel.
I’m a self-published author and 14+ year award-winning blogger. I’m the founder of Alive in the Fire. I am passionate about helping women tell their stories, show up authentically online, and find success in their creative endeavors.
I started this group because even though I’ve been a writer my whole life, it took me a long time to find the confidence to publish my work and open myself up to feedback.
I know what it’s like to be held back by soul-crushing perfectionism, self-doubt, and being at war with yourself internally.
Is my writing good enough?
Would anyone want to read it?
Who am I to share my writing, anyway?
I’ve struggled with all of these questions and many more.
I know what it takes to build confidence and create momentum. I know how powerfully your life can change when you start to take your writing seriously and make time for it. And I’m here to help you do just that.
