Stuck in Your 9-5? Here’s How Rebecca Escaped


Hi Reader,

I recently caught up with one of my awesome coaching clients, Rebecca Collins, and we had a chat about her journey from being a busy TV producer to running her own brand coaching business, the Conscious Communication School.

Rebecca’s story is super inspiring, especially if you’re in that spot where you’re trying to figure out how to turn your skills into a business you love - while still keeping up with a full-time job.

In our conversation, we talk about:

  • How she went from not knowing where to start to finding her perfect business idea.
  • The challenges of juggling work and building a business on the side.
  • The magic of beta testing and how it gave her the confidence to move forward.
  • The simple systems she put in place to keep everything running smoothly.
  • Why building a community was key to her growth.

Rebecca’s journey is packed with real talk and actionable steps - perfect if you’re ready to turn your own business dreams into reality!
