Revenue Grew

"My annual revenue has doubled in the year since I first joined. The strategy and support have been next level — and I thoroughly enjoyed the community too."

Leesa Ellis

Book Coach & Founder · 3 Fern Books

Revenue Grew

"Not this year! My January revenue was $21K — and I only worked about 10 hours a week. Down from the $8K slumps that used to feel inevitable."

Nichole Lynn Forsline

CEO · The Solid Bow

Revenue Grew

"We had our biggest revenue month ever — right after joining. The goals we set in week one, we reached 80% of them by the end of the quarter."

Deirdre Harter

Co-CEO · Encore Empire

Revenue Grew

"Shortening the learning curve meant that I could actually benefit from all of it — instead of burning out, making mistakes, and it not being worthwhile."

Paula Billing

CEO · Paula's Herbals & Wellness

Revenue Grew

"The CEO Collective has the training, the support, the crowd cheering you on so you can play — or elevate — your very best game."

Courtenay Shipley

Founder + CEO · Retirement Planology

Revenue Grew

"I know where my clients are coming from, what it costs to get them, and what to do when revenue dips. That's a completely different business than the one I started with."

Veronica Grant

CEO · Run Your Money

Revenue Grew

"My revenue is more consistent than it's ever been. I know exactly what activities drive results — and I protect my time for those first, not last."

Alessandra Seca

TCC Member

Revenue Grew

"My biggest win is noticing that today I am making more money with MUCH more ease. I am richer just because I am more myself, more daring, and more in tune with what I need to do."

Deborah Collazo

TCC Member

Revenue Grew

"We have doubled the revenue in my business and really streamlined processes and systems so that I feel hopeful about the year to come."

Mia Henry

Founder · Freedom Lifted

Revenue Grew

"The CEO Collective gave me the clarity to help run my business at the next level as I grow and scale beyond six figures."

Carla Titus

Founder · Wealth & Worth Within

Life Kept Happening

"I was working 24/7 and everything was overwhelming. The CEO Retreat gave me space to plan intentionally — and to put myself first so I'm not always in reactive mode."

Rachel Martin

CEO · Root & Ritual Functional Medicine

Life Kept Happening

"Business does not work without systems. Things are running so much more smoothly and we are doing so much more volume — through everything."

Carmen Reed-Gilkison

Co-CEO · Encore Empire

Life Kept Happening

"After six years of doing this on my own, it feels luxurious to have specialized support from people whose approach to business aligns with mine."

Megan Hadley

CEO · Fork the Food Rules

Life Kept Happening

"The CEO Collective gave my business the foundation to survive a year that tried to take me out. The structure held even when I couldn't."

LaTondra Murray

TCC Member

Life Kept Happening

"I had a health scare mid-year and had to step back significantly. My business kept running because the systems were already in place. I didn't lose a single client."

Sara McCormick

CEO · Bella De Luna

Life Kept Happening

"I had another maternity leave and a hand injury, and I was able to just be off and focus on myself, my family, and my recovery. My business kept running."

Dr. Lisa Griffith

Chiropractor · RVA Chiro & Wellness

Life Kept Happening

"The container held. The contents shifted. The business kept moving — through COVID, through flares, through newborn twins, through all of it."

Gabi Day

Brightbody & Hype Ma'am

Built a Real Team

"I feel like I have a completely different business. It's more focused — and that allows me to make my process a really special experience for my clients."

Megan Gersch

Brand Strategist & Website Designer

Built a Real Team

"For the first time, I'm running my business and it's not running me. The CEO Collective gave it stability I didn't know was possible."

Andrea Bentschneider

CEO · Beyond History Genealogy

Built a Real Team

"Making big goals feel really attainable — breaking things down into what I need to do each month and each week — that's what changed how I lead."

Cris Caruso

Founder · Savoiree Financial

Built a Real Team

"I've built real friendships inside TCC. We celebrate each other's wins, work through problems together, and actually hire each other. The community is the secret ingredient."

Mindy Totten

Founder · The Bodywork Project

Built a Real Team

"I used to be in every single thing. Now I have a team that runs the week without me having to be in every conversation. That's freedom I didn't think was possible."

Laurie Hermance-Moore

CEO · Heritage Bridge Genealogy

Built a Real Team

"I have a mastermind of people to discuss challenges and celebrate wins. There are endless possibilities of ways I can get support — from mentors, from Racheal's team, from Racheal directly."

Megan Tusing

Award-Winning Audiobook Narrator

Built a Real Team

"Now I have full ownership and autonomy over my business. Racheal helped me build the right team and have the right people supporting me."

Dr. Lisa Griffith

Chiropractor · RVA Chiro & Wellness

Finally Took Time Off

"I've changed how I think about what I'm doing. I've realized that I come first and need to be proactive — it gives so much peace of mind."

Christie Pearl

CEO · Christie Pearl EMDR Therapy

Finally Took Time Off

"Racheal's not gonna let you work all week. She will make sure you're taking breaks and taking care of yourself and your family. It will completely change your business."

Natalie Clopton

CEO · Clo & Co Marketing Agency

Finally Took Time Off

"I finally have real boundaries around my time — not because I'm protecting my calendar, but because I designed my business around what I actually want my life to look like."

Robin Wisner

Founder · LightHer Way Wellness for Women

Finally Took Time Off

"The biggest win has been making space for self as a human being. I've set boundaries around work and let go of the guilt. I create better work when I'm rested and cared for."

Hannah Davis

CEO · Vikara Village

Finally Took Time Off

"I successfully scaled my business, written and published my first book — all while learning that I don't have to give clients everything and still have plenty left for myself and my family."

Dr. Libby Wilson

Founder · Best Life Functional Medicine

Finally Took Time Off

"The community and the mentorship were so instrumental in helping me first see that I had something uniquely valuable — and to really practice believing it."

Ashley Jablow

Founder · Life Design School

Found a New Direction

"I stopped working for other people so I wouldn't have to work so much — then I finally stopped doing that to myself too. Everything shifted from there."

Dr. Tiffany Slater

CEO · HR Tailormade

Found a New Direction

"In The CEO Collective, you are never alone. Racheal and her team root for me like my family does. I expected the expertise. I didn't expect the warmth."

Maureen Clancy

Founding Member since 2021

Found a New Direction

"I finally stopped starting over every quarter. The 90-day rhythm gave me a framework that builds on itself — and I can actually see my business progressing."

Lisa Leander

CEO · Women in Business Education Network

Found a New Direction

"I have a completely different relationship with my business now. I'm making decisions from strategy instead of from panic. That's a different person, not just a different business."

Layne Lyons, JD

TCC Member

Found a New Direction

"Being in a room — even a virtual one — with women who actually want each other to succeed changed the way I think about business entirely."

Letitia Walker

CEO · Purna Yoga 828 · Asheville, NC

Tawanda Connor

CEO · TNT Accounting

Found a New Direction

"It's so powerful to see the progress over the last year even though it feels like micro steps — I can see it is such a stronger platform to now leap off."

Business Finance Strategist
