ways to work together
This work is rooted in presence, not performance.
Each offering creates space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect—whether in a room, a workplace, or a shared moment of reflection.
WORKSHOPS & FACILITATED EXPERIENCES
These sessions create intentional pauses within busy environments, inviting participants to slow their pace, settle their nervous systems, and reflect together. Rather than fixing problems, the work opens space for clarity, trust, and meaningful connection to emerge naturally.
SPEAKING & KEYNOTES
Rachel’s talks gently interrupt urgency and invite audiences into presence. Through thoughtful language and grounded storytelling, she names what many feel but rarely articulate—offering a moment of stillness that lingers long after the talk ends.
PAUSE COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES
Pause Collective is the broader container for this work, offering circles and guided experiences that invite people out of noise and into deeper listening. Each experience is shaped with care and responsiveness, meeting the group exactly where they are.
This is not performance-driven work or motivational speaking. It is presence-led.
Rachel’s work is shaped by lived experience with discipline, achievement, and the quiet exhaustion that can come from constantly striving. She brings a grounded, steady presence into rooms—one that allows people to slow down without losing depth or momentum.
Rather than offering answers or strategies, she creates space. Space to settle, to listen, and to notice what is already unfolding beneath the noise. In that space, clarity emerges. Trust rebuilds. Something shifts—without being forced.
The work meets people exactly where they are.
No fixing.
No pushing.
Just the conditions for meaningful change to arise naturally.
rachel marie
Rachel Marie Cockrell is a speaker, writer, and facilitator whose work centers on presence, stillness, and living from within.
A former professional athlete, Rachel’s early life was shaped by discipline, performance, and the pursuit of external success. Over time, that way of living began to feel misaligned, leading her into a deeper inquiry around identity, surrender, and what it means to truly be present.
Through slowing down, letting go of old identities, and learning to trust the unfolding of her life, Rachel found a more grounded and embodied way of being. That personal journey now informs the spaces she creates—both on the page and in person.
Today, through Pause Collective, Rachel invites people to step out of urgency, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with greater clarity, trust, and intention.
Growth, she believes, doesn’t need to be loud or linear.
It can be quiet, subtle, and deeply human.
Surrender: Thoughts & Experiences
This book is not meant to fix you.
It’s meant to sit with you.
Surrender is a reflective, meditative offering born from the same philosophy that shapes Rachel’s speaking and facilitation. It invites readers to pause, soften, and return to the present moment.
Often shared alongside workshops or experiences, the book offers a way to continue the pause—long after the room has emptied.
A quiet invitation to soften, to listen, to come home to the now.
If you’re interested in bringing this work into your organization, school, or community, Rachel would love to explore what’s possible together.
