Mastering Time & Intentionality with Rachel Closson: High-Performance Coaching for Ambitious Women

I sit down with the incredible Rachel Closson, a master high-performance coach with over 24 years of entrepreneurial experience. Rachel is dedicated to helping highly driven businesswomen uncover the truth that fulfillment isn't something we chase—it’s who we choose to become. Through her exclusive white-glove coaching (working with only three elite women every six months) and her transformative retreats, Rachel empowers her clients to redefine success on their own terms and create lives they genuinely love.

From Dyslexia to Entrepreneurial Mastery

Rachel’s entrepreneurial journey began at a young age, but it wasn’t without its struggles. Diagnosed with dyslexia at 14, she faced an educational system that didn’t know how to support her. Instead of succumbing to these challenges, she learned to work at her own pace—an early indicator of the resilience that would later define her career.

She graduated high school at 16 and quickly ventured into the beauty and aesthetics industry. Starting with permanent makeup and later co-founding a med spa, Rachel built a thriving business. However, the economic downturn forced her to reevaluate, ultimately leading her into coaching and high-performance mentorship.

Breaking the Myth: Success vs. Work-Life Balance

One of the biggest lies Rachel had to unlearn? The idea that success means sacrificing personal time, family, and well-being. For years, she believed she had to choose between growing a business and enjoying a fulfilling personal life. It wasn’t until she stepped back and created boundaries that she realized she could have both.

She shared insights into how intentionality and time-blocking can transform the way we approach our work and personal life. “If we don't schedule our priorities, time will just pass us by,” Rachel emphasizes.

The Power of Intentional Escapes

Rachel’s transformative retreats, aptly named The Intentional Escape, are designed to help ambitious women create space for clarity, recalibrate their purpose, and reignite their passion for their work and life. Her upcoming retreat in Malaga, Spain, offers an immersive experience, blending strategic coaching, personal development, and much-needed relaxation. Limited to just 14 participants, this retreat provides:

• A luxurious stay overlooking the Mediterranean Sea

• A professional brand photoshoot

• Mastermind sessions and personal coaching

• Optional massage and Reiki healing

• Curated experiences designed to fuel clarity and transformation

The Art of Setting Boundaries and Managing Time Effectively

Rachel’s philosophy is simple: No one can take from you what you don’t allow.

She has created a free three-part video series on time management and boundary setting. If you struggle with time blocking or protecting your energy, this series is a game-changer. You can access the videos and workbook at rachelclosson.com.

Final Takeaways: The Audacious Path to Success

Before wrapping up, I asked Rachel about the most audacious thing she’s ever done. Her answer? Accepting the opportunity to lead an international retreat—something she initially swore she would never do.

Her lesson: Stop saying “no” to opportunities out of fear. Instead, start with a “yes” and figure out the details later.

If you’re ready to break free from time constraints, redefine success, and create an intentional life, Rachel’s insights are invaluable.
