The Comeback Coach: Empowering Women Over 40 with Rachel Gaddis
Fri Jan 30 2026
The real comeback isn’t to your old life — it’s to your true one.
Rachel Gaddis didn’t just change careers — she changed her relationship with purpose.
After a late ADHD diagnosis, a battle with breast cancer, and a full career reset in her 50s, she built a practice around helping others navigate reinvention without losing themselves.
Hersh talked with Rachel about what real change looks like — not the “pivot” everyone posts about, but the quiet, uncomfortable clarity that comes before it.
It’s the same kind of clarity that my advisory clients are chasing — the moment when the next version of your work finally matches who you’ve become.
