Meet Rachel Bents
Rachel Bents helps people choose joy on purpose.
Rachel is a keynote speaker, author, host of the Joy Unfiltered podcast, and founder of The Joy Collective. Her books, 'Joy Is the Strategy' and 'Be With: 39 Habits for a Joy-Filled Life', are built on one simple belief: joy isn't something that happens to you. It's something you practice.
Rachel created the ENJOY Method™, a simple, repeatable framework that gives people a real path back to joy, even when life is full, busy, or hard. She brings it to stages, workplaces, and communities with a mix of science, story, and a whole lot of heart. With two master's degrees (Education and Kinesiology) and a background in organizational development and personal training, she knows how people learn, how bodies change, and how habits actually stick.
Rachel lives in Minnesota with her husband, Jason, and their cat, Sam, where most mornings start with meditation in their sunroom. And days are filled with laughter, the gym, and often a competitive game of cribbage!


“Joy is not a feeling you wait for; it is a strategy you choose on purpose every single day.”
