About Rachel
Rachel is an award-winning writer, speaker, podcaster, survivor and advocate. She's the co-creator and co-host of the lifestyle podcast, Friends Without Benefits and has work published in three anthologies, HuffPost, Romper, Today Show Parents, PopSugar, ScaryMommy, Insider, She's Got Issues and more. She has appeared on NPR, The Doctors, The Tamron Hall Show and The Kelly Clarkson Show (she is still not fully recovered from Kelly calling her hilarious on national television).
Rachel is the keynote speaker for the last 7 years at The Mother of All Baby Showers in three Florida markets. She is also a newly minted breast cancer survivor who will never shut up about early detection and self-advocacy. She is an ambassador and peer supporter for Sharsheret and a member of Right Scan Right Time's Patient Leadership Council.
Her memoir, Breast Case Scenario comes out Spring 2027 from Post Hill Press. And in all of her spare time, she also works as an adjunct professor teaching Speech Communications / Public Speaking at Palm Beach State College. Rachel lives in South Florida with her outnumbered and very patient husband, her two feisty daughters, and her giant labradoodle (aka love of her life), Biggie Smalls.
