Direct Sales Propaganda I’m No Longer Falling For

Tuesday, June 3, 2025 • Duration 20:51

Send us a text

In this episode, Rachel gets real about the outdated (and straight-up toxic) beliefs still floating around the direct sales industry. From team building myths to hustle culture, she’s calling out the nonsense that’s keeping leaders stuck—and sharing what actually leads to growth in 2025. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more or wondered if you’re allowed to build something outside your company, this one’s for you.

Key Points Covered:

Why team building is not the only way to grow your income.
Rachel shares her experience of earning more from a $19 product than from her entire team and sales combined.
The myth that wanting more makes you greedy or ungrateful.
Growth ≠ betrayal. Wanting more is a sign of vision, not disloyalty.
How building something of your own doesn’t make you a traitor.
Loyalty to yourself ≠ disloyalty to your company. You can support your team and your future.
Why hustle culture is toxic—and what to focus on instead.
Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. Strategy, peace of mind, and aligned work matter more than overworking.
When 'stick with it' is actually harmful advice.
Sometimes it’s time to pivot—and that doesn’t mean you’re a quitter.
The truth about corporate loyalty (it’s not what you think).
At the end of the day, your company is loyal to its bottom line. Protect your own future.
Why team drama doesn’t equal leadership.
Real leadership starts with leading yourself first—not being the emotional support human for your entire downline.

Call to Action:
If you're ready to stop falling for the lies and start building something of your own, Rachel has 2 VIP Day spots open this summer to help you create and launch your digital product. DM her the word VIP on Instagram @rachelaperry or email her at rachel@rachelaperry.com to snag a spot.

How to Stop Shrinking Yourself and Start Showing Up Unapologetically

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 • Duration 18:04

Send us a text

Episode Introduction:
Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things in your direct sales business but still hitting a wall? You’re not alone. In this raw and real episode, Rachel shares a powerful revelation she had during a recent coaching session—she’s been unintentionally shrinking herself. And chances are, you might be doing the same.

Key Points Covered:

The sneaky ways high-achievers shrink themselves without realizing it
Why being “likable” might be limiting your growth and income
How people-pleasing and needing approval can silently sabotage your success
Subtle signs you're filtering your personality—especially on social media
Real talk: Being “too much” is exactly what your audience needs
Rachel’s challenge: 7 days of unhinged YOU (and what that could look like)
Why you don’t need permission to evolve, do things differently, or lead boldly
How softening your edges to make others comfortable keeps you stuck
Why your next chapter requires a different version of you—and how to find her
Encouragement to stop downplaying your bold opinions, wins, or desires

Closing Reminder:
You don’t have to shrink to be safe. You don’t have to fit into someone else’s version of success. You were meant to stand out. Let’s get unhinged. Let’s be fully YOU. And when you do? Tag Rachel on Instagram @rachelaperry so she can cheer you on.

Why Network Marketing Might Just Be Your Starting Point (Not Your End Game)

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 • Duration 18:54

Send us a text

This one’s a heart-to-heart. If you've ever felt like you're meant for more, but you're scared of stepping outside your network marketing biz, this episode is for you. Rachel shares why network marketing was a brilliant first step—but not your final destination. It’s time to start building the rest of the house.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Network marketing is a vehicle, not the destination. And if the vehicle breaks down, you need a backup plan.
Feeling burnt out, bored, or unfulfilled? That doesn't mean you're ungrateful. It means you're human—and maybe it's time to grow.
Building something of your own doesn't mean you're abandoning your team. It means you're expanding.
Your brand is your staying power. You don’t own the products or comp plan, but you do own your brand.
Creating a digital product isn’t about leaving—it’s about protecting what you’ve built. Rachel walks you through how to start small and build something powerful on the side.
You are more marketable than you think. And the skills you’ve gained in direct sales? They make you wildly valuable.

Network marketing gave you the foundation. Now it’s time to build the rest of the house. You’re not abandoning what you’ve built—you’re expanding beyond it.
