We recently connected with Rachel Luna and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Rachel, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
I got my resilience after a long & dragged out divorce/custody battle.
In 2012 after fighting to save a marriage that was not working for awhile, I decided to file for divorce. My daughter was 3 years old at the time & she deserved to see her mom happy.
When I served my now ex-husband the paperwork, he was in shock & livid. From there, our divorce would take about a year back & forth to lawyers offices, law guardians & court dates, but it was finally done.
I thought I would be able to live my life happy again, but I was very wrong. My ex now tried to take my daughter away from me. This journey was a 4 year long nightmare. The things this man, who I once loved & had our beautiful miracle daughter with, turned into the devil in disguise. He did things & made up horrendous lies about me in order to hurt & get back at me for divorcing him.
He tried doing this by making up lies to take our child from me. He knew she was my only weakness. The list of accusations & tactics to do this were endless & calculated. There were days I couldn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. The humiliation he put me through, endless court dates, CPS cases, etc. Sometimes I wanted to give up, but my daughter kept me going.
This was the worst experience of my life to date, but made me the woman, mom, & entrepreneur I am today. If I didn’t go through that, I would not have known the warrior I had inside of me. If I could conquer that, I can conquer anything!
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I own a Body Contouring Studio in Hollywood, Florida. I love to make women feel confident about themselves.
With social media & the pressure to go under the knife to have the perfect physique, women feel they need to look like these IG models to get a man’s attention or feel good about themselves. I offer non-invasive & safe ways to achieve these results.
I love meeting new people & learning about different cultures. This is a way of doing that, while making someone feel confident in their own skin at the same time. I’m very personable with my clients & offer great customer service.
I am now branching out into teaching. I’m launching: Indulge Academy for 1 on 1 training, so I am very excited about that. I’m always researching new services to take my business to the next level. It’s what keeps me going.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge most impactful in my journey were: perseverance, focus, & dedication. If I didn’t have those qualities, I most likely would have given up.
Advice I would give to people early in their journey is to believe in themselves & their vision, talent, & or craft. You will hit obstacles along the way, but you will get through them. If you really want something in life, you can achieve it. What you put into something, is what you get out of it.
To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?
The most impactful thing my parents did for me was to be extremely supportive of my choices & always encouraging me, They are very successful business owners & have been married for 55 years. I worked with them for years in their business in New York & learned from them. They are why I am so successful today.
