"My lens of life exploded" Rachelle Babler S4 EPS 23

Rachelle Babler is a TEDx speaker,  #1 International Best-Selling Co-Author of 3 books, Entrepreneur & Advocate who grew up in Southern California. She has had an eclectic background of careers: Paramedic turned Forensic Analyst turned Entrepreneur. After being diagnosed with a rare brain tumor and diving into personal development work, she quit her job cold turkey to pursue her “why” and has never looked back. She is a storytelling strategist who supports clients who want to amplify their voice, message, and brand through various media platforms, such as the TEDx stage and music. She is grateful she took a leap to create a purpose-driven business and to show her two children, Austin and Camryn, that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. In 2017, she quit her career of 20 years in Forensics to pursue her “why,” during a global pandemic, she discovered what that was. “TO inspire conscious leaders and heart-centered humans to share their story through music, so they can heal, unite the human collective, and create movements.” Two factors have always carried her through this lifetime - MUSIC and ADVOCACY. Her music journey started when she was a little girl. She sang and played bells in the church choir, sang in the high school vocal ensemble, and took guitar lessons. She loved music and had dreams of being a rock star, but her conditioning would never allow her to make a career out of it. Music would take a backseat, but would return to find her in her 40s. Her advocacy journey started when she became a paramedic after high school, advocating for the health of those having 9-1-1 emergencies. A career change led her to the fascinating world of forensics, where she advocated for the truth for the faceless victims whose lives had been lost or impacted by a crime. She loved advocating for others, and in 2008, there would come a time when she would have to advocate for herself. On December 21, 2008, Rachelle was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor that changed her life. She then embarked on a yearlong journey to advocate for her health, her treatment, and for change. Through that experience and, later, through tragic loss in her family, story, and music became her greatest healing power, leading her to her “why” and a purpose-driven business. There is no greater feeling than helping others use their voice and story to create human impact. https://www.rachellebabler.com/about FB: https://www.facebook.com/rachelle.ljosdalbabler IG: https://www.instagram.com/rachellebabler/ Learn more about your host, Kim Lengling www.kimlenglingauthor.com
