For about a decade Deborah got progressively sicker with migraines, insomnia, IBS problems, neck and back pain, sky-high cholesterol, obesity, and fatigue so severe she could barely function. Deborah desperately tried to find any doctor or cure to help, but it felt like she was running on a hamster wheel with no relief. Some doctors thought she was a hypochondriac. Others wanted to help but didn’t know how. She was poked and prodded, telling her symptoms over and over again to doctor after doctor. They put her through a battery of stressful tests for everything under the sun and ruled them out one by one: multiple sclerosis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, “slipped” disks, celiac, ulcers, Crohn’s, appendicitis, heart disease, lung disease and more.

Originally from a small town called Thompson, CT, she moved to MA to start her career after college. She graduated from UConn in ‘17 with a Dual Degree in Finance and Economics. While snow-birding or COVIDing in NC, Rachel started venturing into the Real Estate world.

Looking back, there has been a clear path driving her to work with clients and serve the people. Rachel got started as a Banker early in college and ran a summer painting business with her current business partner. This made her more aware of the lack of financial literacy taught by educational institutions, programs, and even our parents. Since this discovery, she has been planning to own her own practice as a financial advisor and teach others how to get ahead. What most people don't know about Rachel is that in high school she completed three years of UConn horticulture and dreams to own all efficient, community garden, rentals for families and individuals. What she'd like everyone to take away from today is please pay yourself first and retire from what makes you tired.

Key Takeaway:

"Do your research. If things don't work out, don't necessarily blame yourself. Think about what you could do differently. Because we often deflect the blame and think everything's unfair, it's a disservice to ourselves, and we won't grow and learn. Take charge, and don't blame yourself. Simply take a different approach, a different path, recognize your flaws that didn't work out, and learn from them."
