The Origin Story

The framework Rachel built didn't start in a boardroom or a research lab — it started in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the 1980s. This episode traces the origin of The Workplace WellBeing Co. through Rachel's own story: a childhood shaped by economic hardship, her father's street corner ministry, and early exposure to the spectrum of what humans are capable of. It follows her through years of work across continents, a career turn teaching CPR for the American Red Cross, and the thoughts that wouldn't leave her alone: We teach people how to handle bodies in emergencies, but we never learn what to do with our being. What if we could teach human well-being in a format that was as easy to learn as a basic first aid course? The Conditions That Work is produced by The Workplace WellBeing Co. and Broadbeam Media in Asheville, NC. To learn more visit: https://workplacewellbeing.info/
