This weeks game changing guest is Rachel Atcheson, she is currently the Deputy Strategist for Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams in NY.
Rachel is an amazing individual, who has dedicated her life to helping animals through multiple lines of work throughout her career.
Rachel approaches her activism in a very calm and compassionate way, and has a gift of shedding light on matters you care about with a whole new perspective, leaving you with a new understanding. This has helped my approach, personally, and I hope after you’ve listened to this, it will help you too!
In this episode we cover:
- Rachels life growing up in the DC area.
- Telling her Dad she’s going vegan.
- Telling her Dad she wants to get a tattoo
- Her Dad opposing both of these ideas, so they make a deal!
