40 to 40 Series, Week 2: You Can Take the Girl Out of the Midwest, but You Can’t Take the Midwest Out of the Girl
In today’s episode, Rachel is continuing the 40 to 40 series with an intimate exploration of how her Midwest upbringing and large family dynamics have shaped her journey as a fashion entrepreneur. Growing up in Ohio with a strong German Catholic background and a very large family, reminiscent of Hulu’s “The Bear,” Rachel certainly took on a few unique experiences and values. She touches on how living near her grandparents' farm instilled a deep respect for nature and animals. Additionally, Rachel reflects on the initial instinct to pursue a career in medicine due to her family's strong medical background, and how she ultimately found my passion for apparel design.
Rachel also discusses her personal journey of stepping outside traditional life expectations as a geriatric millennial. From attending art school to moving to New York City for internships, these experiences broadened her horizons and opened up new opportunities. She started to miss the sense of belonging and community in the fast-paced life of big cities, which led her to seek out the warmth and friendliness of the Midwest which ultimately landed her looking for a balanced lifestyle in Colorado.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
-How “The Bear” relates to many of Rachel’s childhood experiences.
-Why Rachel tended to feel like the family oddball.
-The importance of feeling like you’re ready to move on from where you grew up, but always having an appreciation for it.
-Why Colorado feels really fulfilling right now!
-THE Ohio State culture and how it influenced Rachel’s college career.
