MY RESOUL STORY

A Story from Breakdown to Breakthrough

Hi, I’m Rachel Salzberg.

For most of my career, I believed that the more I did, the better I would be. As a result, I always found myself pushing harder and taking on more, to stay resilient through sheer discipline. I exercised, ate well, slept enough, and kept my relationships intact. From the outside, everything looked functional.

Underneath, I was running on empty. I was overwhelmed and irritable, worn down by decision fatigue and a quiet loss of joy. I told myself this was the cost of leadership, the price of all the things I believed I should carry in a world with so much uncertainty.

I had no idea how wrong I was.......

Between late 2024 and late 2025, a series of health disruptions compounded that depletion. None were catastrophic on their own. Together they took a cumulative toll.

At the same time, my professional life entered a long stretch of ambiguity. My performance was strong and my impact was visible, yet advancement stayed out of reach. The goalposts kept moving.

That was when I understood that my body had been holding energy my mind refused to acknowledge. Like the pounding beneath the floorboards in Poe's "tell-tale heart," something in me was demanding to be heard.

I no longer felt like I was living my own life. Recovery began with small things. I started reclaiming the margins of choice I had given away.

I set boundaries around my time. I let myself rest, and I learned to say no when I needed to.

These looked like minor acts. For me they were acts of reclamation, and slowly, deliberately, they retrained my nervous system out of crisis mode.

Today I guide individuals and groups through the ReSoul Framework, helping them reconnect with their inner intelligence and lead with greater intention.

“My goal is not to give people answers.

My goal is to help them rediscover the wisdom and agency that already exists within them.”

More About Me

I’m a leadership development expert, keynote speaker, podcast host, author, and CEO of Facets Coaching. With more than 20 years of experience across technology, academia, healthcare, and the nonprofit sector, my work integrates neuroscience, reflective practices, and wellness principles to help people align their mindset, energy, and decision-making.

I am the creator of the ReSoul Revolution, a philosophy and framework that explores how aligning the brain and the soul can unlock deeper personal mastery and conscious leadership. My work is grounded in the belief that leadership begins internally and that individuals have both the capacity and responsibility to cultivate awareness, integrity, and purpose in how they live and lead.

My book, ReSoul Revolution, introduces this framework and offers practical tools called ReSoul Micro-Rituals. These simple practices help people recognize limiting patterns, shift their energy, and create meaningful change from the inside out.

In addition to coaching individuals, I work with organizations through leadership consulting, workshops, and retreats designed to help leaders navigate complexity while maintaining clarity, resilience, and purpose.

I live in Hood River, Oregon, where I spend time outdoors hiking, gardening, designing jewelry, and writing. I published ReSoul Revolution in December 2024.
