As a kid, I didn't really like writing. The teacher would give an assignment, I'd groan, and I'd plod my way through it. Little did I know that for me, a creative, writing was a conduit to my heart. Now, as an adult, writing has changed my life. Not only has writing provided for my family, but writing has allowed me to gain deeper insights. It's allowed me to gain clarity, to let go of past pains, to forgive, to think of opportunities, to calm my mind, and to ultimately, find joy.

Many people have asked me to teach them how to create massive change in their lives and what better way than to use my super power - writing - as a tool of change for you. Now, listen, this isn't edited writing. This isn't about formulas or perfection. This is what I call Epiphany writing - writing that will help you unlock your story, your dreams, your passions, your hopes, your fears, your desires, your next steps,  and ultimately - your soul's story. 

My name is Rachel Marie Martin and I am a writer.

I'd tell you that I'm a speaker, podcaster, story-teller, and entrepreneur too.

But, ultimately, it all started with writing.

Fifteen years ago I started writing online. It began as a way for me to process my feelings, basically a public journal. As time went on that journaling grew into my current website, Finding Joy, and subsequent Facebook page. It's grown into speaking worldwide, publishing a book, "The Brave Art of Motherhood" with Penguin Random House, and teaching thousands how I went from sitting at my computer and hitting, "submit" to having over 100 million page views and shares of my words. 

I am passionate about helping you unlock your heart and I know that the simplest act - words on paper - can produce massive results. I've seen it over and over again and am passionate about sharing how words produce results.

Beyond that, I'm a mom to eleven - seven bio, four bonus, am married, live in Nashville and love to run.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you more. 

Let the writing begin!
