What If You Could Turn Your Lowest Moments Into Leadership?
Most people look at their hardest moments as setbacks. But what if those very moments were the springboard that could turn you into the leader you were always meant to be?
That is the story of Rachel L. Gary, today’s guest on Attention Is The Currency.
Rachel’s journey is not the polished highlight reel you see on social media. It is raw, real, and unforgettable. From poverty and homelessness, sleeping on couches while her kids slept on air mattresses, to building a six figure coaching legacy, Rachel has lived through storms most people never recover from.
And instead of breaking her, those storms built her.
From Poverty to Purpose
In 2004, Rachel hit her breaking point. Cold, broke, and stuck in survival mode, she asked herself one defining question:
“How did I get here and what am I going to do to change it?”
That was the day she decided to stop letting life lead her and instead become the CEO of her own life. Not in the corporate sense, but as someone Clearing her actions, Empowered by choices, and Owning her direction.
It was not easy. But Rachel discovered something most people overlook: resilience is forged in fire. Every challenge, every failure, every loss was not a dead end. It was a lesson. She reframed it all. You are either winning or learning.
The Powerhouse Behind Say I’m Possible Academy
Out of her own transformation, Rachel built Say I’m Possible Academy, a platform dedicated to helping others lead their lives like CEOs.
Her framework starts with B.E.G.I.N.:
- Self Esteem
- Self Care
- Self Awareness
- Self Discipline
These are not just buzzwords. They are the foundational habits she has seen repeatedly separate those who succeed from those who stay stuck.
Once you have laid that groundwork, you level up into her L.E.A.D.E.R. method, a coaching system that has helped hundreds of people rebuild their lives, finances, and mindset.
Rachel is not just teaching success. She is helping people build a legacy.
Breaking Limiting Beliefs
So what holds most people back? Rachel does not hesitate:
- Fear. Fake Evidence Appearing Real. Afraid of failure. Afraid of success. Afraid of what might happen.
- Inherited Beliefs. Lessons picked up from parents who were also just trying to figure life out.
- Lack of Self Belief. That nagging voice asking, “Who am I to do this?”
Rachel has battled all three. And her answer is simple but profound: “You have to believe it to receive it, to achieve it.”
Building Success One Habit at a Time
Big wins do not come from giant leaps. They come from small, consistent habits stacked day after day.
Rachel is living proof. She swapped TV time for audiobooks. Replaced radio noise with Les Brown and Zig Ziglar. Fed her mind with positivity until it overflowed. That shift in habits led to four promotions in just 14 months.
Her lesson: consistency compounds.
And when life throws curveballs, as it always will, you do not give yourself a way out. You lean on your why so deeply that no excuse is strong enough to knock you off track.
Legacy Over Wealth
Rachel is crystal clear. Building a legacy is not about money. It is about impact.
Your legacy is the story people tell about you when you are gone. Did you live with integrity? Did you show up consistently? Did you help others believe in themselves?
That is why Rachel pushes her clients to think with the end in mind. To write their story intentionally. To live in such a way that their children and grandchildren are proud.
Why Attention Is Your Currency
If attention is the new currency, Rachel’s closing advice is a wake up call. Stop spending it on distractions and start investing it in yourself.
Scrolling will not build your future. Habits will. Mindset will. Belief will.
Final Word
Rachel L. Gary is not just talking about transformation. She is living proof of it. From poverty to six figures, from fear to freedom, from impossible to I’m possible.
Her mission is to help 100,000 people become the CEOs of their own destiny by 2026.
The question is, will you be one of them?
