She built a business, then learned that healing was the harder, braver work — now she teaches rooms full of leaders to dare to disappoint.

Rachael spent over a decade building Teaffani, an award-winning catering company, while quietly carrying the instinct so many high performers know well: keep everyone else comfortable, even at your own expense. Becoming a Registered Counsellor — trained in child psychology and holding a Master's in Counselling — gave her the language for what she'd been living, and it reshaped how she leads, sells, and speaks.

That idea became her TEDx talk, prepared and delivered in just four weeks, and it now anchors every talk she gives: that the roadblocks standing between people and their next level of leadership, sales, or success are rarely about skill. They're about the unhealed, unspoken parts of themselves still running the show.

Rachael now works with companies, universities, and communities to bring that same clarity into boardrooms and classrooms — practical, evidence-informed, and delivered by someone who has built a business as seriously as she has studied the mind.
