KIND WORDS
“Rachel provides a thought provoking, grounded, well researched, rich space full of the most incredible resources in Heart of Growth. Having had the privilege to attend several of Rachel’s masterclasses live, it is wonderful to have a full set of recordings here to review and explore. This is an incredible resource to use as thought provoking prompts for client work and a space to explore on my personal journey. The structure of Heart of Growth provides an easy to navigate framework with some reassuring guiderails AND a sense of freedom to explore and go wherever your energy or needs take you.”
“I am delighted to have access to Rachel’s resource hub. It is a gem. I liken it to my own personal friendly resource library, full of encouraging insiders tips for sustained hardy growth. Whilst I regularly deal with issues, feelings, behaviours and circumstances often they come back round, albeit at another level of exploration, to enable me to unravel them at a new layer of depth and understanding. This is where the Heart of Growth is invaluable in providing timely, easily accessible resources I can tap into this, to gain another level of insight that I wasn’t either able to access previously, or was quite simply beyond my previous awareness. I often find myself saying ‘ah yes now I get it’. I hope this encourages you to join and that you truly benefit through discovering for yourself.”
“I first met Rachel through BTS coach and was deeply impressed by her insight and compassionate coaching. I am now part of her Heart of Growth resource hub. Rachel brings a calm and wisdom to coaching conversations that allows you to breath and grow. I would highly recommend her as a coach. You will be in extremely experienced and safe hands.”
ABOUT THE MEMBERSHIP
Our online resource hub contains a variety of resources to support you on your personal development journey (and we’re constantly adding new ones, too!) You’ll be able to deepen the understanding of yourself and access practical tools you can use when you need a little pick-me-up. Resources include:
Short audios
Mini courses
Videos
Masterclasses
Guides
Practical exercises
…and much more!
All resources are personally collected, curated and created by Rachel, following the principles of radical self-acceptance, and organised by topic through 12 modules (plus a mini-course and a full library of masterclasses). You may embark on a private journey of self-discovery, use the resources as smaller bites on your personal growth journey, or pair them with 1:1 coaching for an even deeper exploration.
There is no set order –you can explore whatever feels more relevant to you at the moment. Or if you need a little support getting started with the Heart of Growth, you can book a quick orientation call with Rachel.
To make the most out of your subscription, we recommend that you focus on one issue at a time, and take your time to reflect on what you learn to let the nutrients seep in. As with all development, growth happens when you notice and enjoy the journey, rather than be impatient for the destination.
The best way to do the work is by taking notes and reflecting on your learning on paper (you can check out our collection of beautiful Tea & Empathy notebooks, perfect for capturing your musings).
For £12 a month, you’ll get immediate access to the full resource hub, so you can login and start exploring right away. Or if you’re ready to commit for a full year, you can purchased the discounted yearly membership for £10 a month. You’ll get updates to your inbox everytime new resources are uploaded to the platform.
You’ll also be invited to subscribe to our Substack where you can keep up to date with Tea & Empathy and chat with others on their personal development journeys. For more on how to use Substack, click here.

Take a peek at some of the resources you'll find inside
Who am I?
I’m Rachel Anderson, the creator of Tea & Empathy.
When I first became a professional coach, back in 2007, I used to say I wanted to help people to grow. But I now know that wasn’t true.
What was closer to the truth was I wanted to grow. Helping others was what intuitively I knew would be the catalyst to my own growth, by seeing myself reflected in all my clients.
I also used to focus on who I wanted to be. No longer. Now I know, if I’m to change and grow, it’s who I am right now that holds the juice; exploring my light and shadows – a deep inner transformative journey of radical self acceptance.
I discovered when I stopped trying to change and fully noticed, appreciated, accepted myself in this moment – ahh, then the glorious paradox – then I couldn’t help but grow!
And coaching, traditional coaching, just doesn’t hack it in this space, magical as it can be. No, as we grow, we need something that accesses our entire neurology and all our senses. We need to access the cognitive, the emotional, the physical, the spiritual, the sensual. We need metaphor and dreaming, art and sound, poetry and movement.
In The Heart of Growth I’m sharing personal development resources that have helped me in all the stages of my journey. One stage is not better than another – they are simply different, and need different support around them.
In this space, there will be nourishment for wherever you are, I can meet you where you are at.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the price of The Heart of Growth include VAT?
Yes, both pricing options for The Heart of Growth resource hub include VAT. You can choose between a yearly subscription or a monthly subscription, after which you’ll get immediate access to all the resources.
Which payment option is best for me?
If you want to try out The Heart of Growth before committing for a longer period of time or don’t think you’ll need it for more than a few months, we recommend the monthly subscription of £12.
However, to get the most value out of The Heart of Growth we recommend the yearly subscription of £120. These are resources you can always come back to, and we’re constantly creating & uploading new ones too.
How will I know which resources to use?
The Heart of Growth modules are structured by topic to encourage you to find the most suitable resources based on where you’re at in your personal development journey.
There’s a lot in it, so we don’t recommend going through the modules one by one! Rather take some time to get familiarised with the content and look at which topics interest you the most or need help with at the moment.
If you need more guidance or support you can always book an orientation call with Rachel.
Is The Heart of Growth an alternative to coaching?
No, The Heart of Growth is great if you’re looking for ‘lighter’ support or as a complement to coaching. It is intended to make personal development more accessible for everyone. However, keep in mind it does not substitute the personal support and depth of 1:1 coaching.
If you have any other questions, contact me at [email protected] and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
