Brave Girls with Tracy Imm

With more than 15 years of experience in retail management, Rachel spent her career leading teams and working alongside individuals earning six-figure incomes. What she repeatedly noticed surprised her: making more money didn't necessarily mean feeling financially secure. She watched high earners struggle to pay their bills, avoid looking at their finances, and feel completely unsure of what to do with the money they worked so hard to make.

But Rachel understood that struggle personally, too. Despite having a high income herself, there were times when she still found herself at the end of the month wondering how she was going to afford the necessities. She realized that the problem wasn't always how much money someone made. It was often the lack of a clear system, financial knowledge, and confidence to manage it.

That realization became the foundation for her work today.

Rachel supports ambitious, high-earning women. This includes business owners, executives, and professionals who are successful in their careers but don't feel equally successful with their personal finances. Through financial coaching, she helps women understand where their money is going, create sustainable systems, take control of spending, build confidence around financial decisions, and ultimately become the CFO of their personal life.

For Rachel, financial success isn't about deprivation, perfection, or simply having a bigger number in your bank account. It's about having choice.

The option to leave a job that no longer serves you. The option to say yes to an opportunity. The option to take time off without panic. The option to make decisions from confidence instead of fear.

Her goal is simple: to empower more women to build a financial life that gives them choice, not restriction.

Jacqueline Twillie's Bio

I grew up in South Louisiana. I currently reside in Brooklyn, New York. Love this city so much, and my career has had quite a few pivots that have been significant, but the story that I want to share with you all today is what led me to talk about negotiation for so many years, and what eventually sparked the note that I should write this book. Don't leave money on the table. I had finished my MBA program, moved to Atlanta. I was working at the Center for Disease Control in global disease eradication, and I had really, really blessed with this mentor. All of my life I've had incredible mentors, but this lady calls me into her office, and she's like a head lady, and she always intimidated me because she had so much quiet power that I didn't quite know what to do with it, but she encouraged me to run for an office at CDC, which was the Vice President of Programs for Young Professionals, so for all of CDC globally. Along with that, I've always had this curiosity for leadership development and career development. So I also led Label League, which is an organization that no longer exists, but it was for millennial women and their profession. So, what I was doing was I was leading professional development for these two organizations, but Lebo League changed the trajectory of my career because they had a program that was called Ask for More, and it was set on Equal Pay Day.
