Today on ARRIVED., I chat with an old friend from my London days, Rachel Hills, who has done both. Rachel gets real about the behind-the-scenes of penning a non-fiction book for one of the biggest publishing houses in the world; why the Voice of that book was born from her own sexual insecurity in her mid-twenties; how she flipped the traditional networking model on its head in creating her feminist networking community, PowerBitches Gather; the new challenges Rachel faced when moving from freelance journalism to running a startup; and how to rethink our mindset around charging for our professional contributions.

Rachel is a feminist writer, producer, entrepreneur, and creator based in Brooklyn, New York. She is the author of The Sex Myth: The Gap Between Our Fantasies and Reality (Simon & Schuster); the founder of Powerbitches Gather, a high-touch peer support network for powerful progressive womxn; and Protagonistic, a feminist strategic communications consultancy.
