    From Welfare to 8 Figures | Hay House Author | Marketing Strategist | Mom of 3 ❤️

    Hi, I’m Rachel Pedersen.

    Some people call me the Queen of Social Media... but I didn’t start there. My story isn’t a straight line. It’s a rollercoaster filled with mistakes, lessons, wins, and growth.

    Here’s a little bit of the backstory:

    2010: Became a mom at 21. Unplanned, unprepared, but determined.

    2011: Became an alcoholic single mom on welfare. Rock bottom? Pretty much.

    2012: Enrolled in hair school to turn my life around. Graduated with 5 job offers from the top salons in my city.

    2013: Landed a job at a top salon. It felt like the start of something new.

    2014: Met my husband. Married him 13 days later (yep, 13 days).

    2015: We had another baby and both changed careers. Life kept evolving.

    2016: Got my first real social media management client, got sober, and went viral—all in the same year.

    2017: Replaced my 9-5 income, resigned, and retired my husband too. Freedom tasted good.

    2018: Crossed $1,000,000 in my business and welcomed baby #3. Growth in business and family.

    2019: Built a second business to $1,000,000. Turns out lightning can strike twice.

    2020: Hired my dream team and scaled both businesses to 7 figures. Leadership became my new obsession.

    2021: Landed a dream book deal with Hay House and gave a TEDx Talk. A surreal “pinch me” year.

    2022: Hit a wall. Complete mental breakdown. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Faced my trauma, did the hard healing work, and came out stronger.

    2023: Began writing fiction books with my husband - and testing out more creative marketing campaigns. Went mega-viral multiple times, too!

    2024: Started our consulting company, Pelanora, and scaled some pretty cool businesses.

    2025: About to be the most exciting year yet!

    Today, I run multiple 7-figure businesses, help entrepreneurs scale without losing their sanity, and teach marketing strategies that actually work. No gimmicks, no sleazy tactics, just authentic growth.

    Because success isn’t about having a perfect story - it’s about writing your own, one messy, beautiful chapter at a time.
