Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur

Rachel Hollis built her career by turning autobiography into a media business. Raised near Weedpatch, California, as the daughter of a Pentecostal preacher, she has described an early life marked by financial strain, family conflict, and the trauma of finding her older brother after his suicide when she was 14. She finished high school early, moved to Los Angeles, and got her start at Miramax before moving into event planning, an early proving ground for the mix of ambition, presentation, and audience instinct that would later define her work as an author and speaker.
