"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"The CEO Collective helps me stay motivated and believe in myself — that I can overcome any challenges. The mentors really get my business. It amazes me that they really know me."
Tawanda Connor
CEO · TNT Accounting
"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."
Laura Cook
Business Finance Strategist
If you’ve hit the ceiling of what doing it alone can build — this is what comes next.
There comes a point in every business journey when we reach our max capacity and realize there is no amount of hustle that will scale our business without sacrificing our life, family, and health. The CEO Collective® is designed to close that gap.
