Hi Everyone!
I’m Rachael + I’m glad you stopped by
I never would have imagined I would find this much enchantment in grief. It’s not that I think its enchanting, but the whole human experience side to it is really extraordinary to me.
Before I became a Mom (which is the most important piece of who I am), I got my undergrad at UCSB, my masters in Clinical Psychology from TCSPP and in between pursuing both, I got married and had my first son shortly after my nuptials. Soon (I mean 20 months soon…) followed my second boy. Tried and true boy mom and I couldn’t love it more.
I’m a true Los Angeles Native, I will always take the sunny seat at the table, prefer a slow morning and I shamelessly blare 90’s hip hop whenever I’m driving solo. I love to write and I’m a forever bookworm. I believe that both pasta and showers should be enjoyed scalding hot. I’m learning to love sports, but mostly I am enthralled by watching people push themselves for more. More speed, more power. More focus. Exhilarating.
