In this episode, Chloe speaks with Rachel Warren, a complementary therapist with over 23 years of experience and a long-standing Tropic Skincare mentor. Rachel’s story is one of courage, curiosity, and compassion, shaped by career changes, personal challenges, and a love of working 1-to-1 with people.

Rachel began her journey after leaving a career in teaching, following her curiosity after a reflexology treatment. From there, she built a thriving practice in therapies like massage, Indian head massage, and healing—always with a focus on helping people make meaningful progress in their lives.

Alongside this, Rachel has spent nearly a decade with Tropic Skincare, where she supports her team with empathy and encouragement, creating community while building a successful business on her own terms.

In this heartfelt conversation, we explore:
✨ How Rachel’s career pivot grew from motherhood and curiosity.
✨ The role theatre and singing play in her confidence, creativity, and personal growth.
✨ Why authenticity and kindness are at the heart of her work.
✨ How she balances introversion with networking and mentoring.
✨ The personal experiences that shaped her resilience and drive to help others.
✨ The professional milestones she’s most proud of—including 20+ year loyal clients and a hard-earned Tropic incentive trip.

Rachel’s story is proof that self-employment can be both challenging and deeply rewarding—and that resilience, authenticity, and community are powerful forces in business and life.

🎙️ In the final episode of season 4 of Strings to Your Bow, I’m joined by the inspiring Kirsty Morris, a Transformational Coach on a mission to help quiet, shy, and sensitive women shine in loud, fast-paced workplaces.

With over 20 years’ experience in recruitment—supporting everyone from doctors to sales professionals through high-stress interviews—Kirsty knows exactly how challenging it can be to feel like the quietest voice in the room. And she gets it, because that used to be her too.

We talk about what it’s like to feel stuck, anxious, and overlooked—and how Kirsty found her own strength not by becoming louder, but by becoming more herself. Now, she empowers other women to do the same: find their voice, own their worth, and build careers that actually fit.

Kirsty’s message is one we all need to hear: quiet women have incredible strengths, and it’s time the world recognised them.
