"You Don't Have to Hit Rock Bottom to Change Your Life" | Rachel McElreath
Rachel McElreath started drinking at fifteen because it was the only way she could find her voice. Years later a doctor told her she was one stage away from cancer. She never drank again.Today she is a keynote speaker and the founder of Purpose Powerhouse, teaching people to find and use the voice she spent most of her life borrowing. In this conversation with Seth Pepper: why identity comes before technique in public speaking, the framework she gives clients instead of a script, the walks that generate all her material, why she raises her five-year-old completely screen-free, and how she and her mother taught themselves to communicate after a suicide attempt neither could talk about for years.This conversation includes discussion of suicide and substance use, and Rachel shares her own health experience — nothing here is medical advice.
