We're Celebrating 10 Years of Growth, Grit & Grace! 🥳

10 years. Thousands of conversations. Countless moments of transformation – for leaders, for teams, and for myself.

This month marks a decade of I AM Living – and what a journey it has been! 

When I took that leap, I couldn’t have imagined how much it would stretch me, teach me, and change me. I started this work with a vision to help leaders find clarity and courage in the chaos – and, in the process, it’s shaped me in ways I never expected.

In these 10 years, I’ve had the honor of:

🌿 Guiding leaders and teams at startups to global companies – transforming stress and reactivity into clarity, collaboration, and innovation.

🌿 Standing on stages to spark conversations on mindfulness, neuroscience, and leadership – watching audiences walk away not just inspired, but equipped with tools to lead with courage and presence.

🌿 Creating spaces – through retreats, coaching, and The Reset Room – where leaders and individuals reconnect to themselves and return with renewed clarity, resilience, and vision.

But the truth is, I’ve grown just as much as I’ve given. Here’s what I’ve learned over a decade of this work:

✨ That self-love–not just self-care – is the foundation. Without it, everything gets filtered through criticism, defensiveness, and proving our worth. With it, we can receive feedback, fail, and learn – without spiraling into reactivity.

✨ That the hardest work is often sitting with ourselves. It feels uncomfortable, even “unproductive,” but it is the bedrock of transformation – and far easier than the long-term cost of avoiding it.

✨ That who I am is a fierce blend of deep love and unapologetic truth. Like two wings of a bird, both are necessary to help others rise.

✨ That while no wisdom is truly new, there is power in distilling timeless truths into something leaders can digest, apply, and integrate today.

✨ That stumbling in my own leadership is part of the work. With a deep breath, and surrounding myself with my own “board of directors,” I can see another path–and walk in a more aligned, conscious way forward.

I would not be here without my teachers and communities – Co-Active, BEabove Leadership, Leadership Circle, ICF, CHIEF – and my mentor and friend, Maria Filippone, whose impact on me (and thousands more) is immeasurable.

To every client, leader, and community that has walked alongside me – thank you. You’ve shaped me as much as I’ve guided you.

💫 Here’s to the next decade–of courage, connection, and transformation.

With fierce love and gratitude,
Rachel Tenenbaum
