#250: Become the Person You Needed When You Were Younger with Rachel Weinstock

Today we are speaking with Transformational Coach & Speaker, Rachel Weinstock. Rachel works with pre-teens and teenagers who are struggling with being bullied, low self-esteem, chronic stress, and anxiety. She is the Creator of “Enough Is Enough: Getting To The Heart Of Bullying Prevention” and “Virtual Club for Pre-Teens” - an online program that helps young people to lower their anxiety through heightening their mindfulness and expressing themselves creatively. For 17+ years, Rachel has travelled the world teaching, speaking, and storytelling, and today she is on a mission to create a world where every child feels happy, confident, and safe to be the truest, most creative version of themselves. Rachel holds Degrees in both Visual Arts and Education and was awarded the James W. Fair Leadership Award from the Ontario Institute For Studies In Education. Her philosophy to working with children is deeply impactful because of her lived experience of being bullied as a child and teenager.More than 17 years ago Rachel decided that she would always show up as the teacher she dreamt of having as a child, and ever since has been known by her students, colleagues, and fans as the one and only, Miss Rainbow Fairy.In this episode we discuss:

1) The importance of sharing our stories to help others realize that we are not alone.  2) We can become mentors for others that we wish we were at the beginning of our journey. 3) Hurt people hurt people.  It is up to us to break the patterns that are keeping us stuck in cycles of pain, anger, frustration and resentment. Healing ourselves allows us to step into the roles that we are here to be in and use our gifts to impact others.
