Welcome, Friend!
I'm Rachel Harris
Author, coach, homeschool mentor, and joyful midlife mom on a mission to help women rediscover who they are, re-story how they live, and reimagine how their families learn together.
There's no highlight reel here - just real talk, real learning, and real joy.
I use the power of ReStory Frameworks™ to help moms lead with wonder, teach with confidence, and create homes rooted in connection.
When a mother starts to live with joy and lean into wonder, everything around her begins to bloom. The lessons she models become the legacy she leaves. That's beautiful. That's purposeful.
That's Homegrown Legacy.
Welcome, Friend!
I'm Rachel Harris—bestselling author and homeschool mama turned Legacy of Learning™ coach.
I help women rediscover joy, curiosity, and purpose in every season—from Root to Legacy. There's no highlight reel here. Just real talk, messy middles, and everyday magic.
I'm the friend who'll pray with you in the Target aisle, hand you a piece of chocolate, and remind you that our legacies are being built right now, in the middle of Diet Mountain Dew fixes and reheated coffee. We get to choose how we show up and create that legacy–so let's do so with humor, heart, and grateful joy (while pretending neither of us sees the laundry pile in the corner).
Through my courses, coaching, and stories, I use ReStory Frameworks™ and Harmony Bloom Map™ as well as a bunch of other fun tools, tricks, and mindset shifts to empower moms so they can lead with wonder, teach with confidence, and create homes rooted in connection and rhythm that feels like them.
I don't believe in perfect–but I do believe in presence. In showing up with grace and a sense of humor when life goes sideways. In leading with love, running toward the roar, voicing the story, and taking that tiny pinkie-toe step forward (even if it's shaking).
When a mother starts to live with joy and lean into wonder, everything around her begins to bloom. The lessons she models become the legacy she leaves.
That's beautiful.
That's purposeful.
That's Homegrown Legacy.
Welcome, Friend!
I'm Rachel Harris—New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, former homeschool mom of sixteen years, and creator of the Harmony Bloom Pathway™ and Legacy of Learning™.
I help women stop disappearing inside their own lives—untangling the inner stories that keep them stuck and restoring self-trust, so they can stop managing life from exhaustion and start living with intention.
This work touches every aspect of a woman's life—
her faith, the culture of her home, and the way she shows up in her marriage, family, and work.
Relationships deepen.
Masks fall as highlight reels give way to honest conversations filled with messy middles and lived-in grace.
Family trees begin to change as priorities shift and connection moves back to the center.
Hard questions are asked, fear loosens its grip, and gratitude makes room for beauty and joy.
When a woman remembers who she truly is — who she was created to become — and begins living from that place, it's not just her life that changes.
The lessons she models become the legacy she leaves.
That's beautiful.
That's powerful.
That's Rebelliously Radiant.

Where Would You Like to Begin?
Every woman reaches moments where something inside her whispers,
This isn't wrong...but it isn't fitting anymore.
I know that moment because I've lived it.
From Root to Legacy, I walk with women who are ready to live in alignment with who they are becoming—in their faith, their families, their work, and the legacy they're shaping.
Some are doing deep inner work around identity, clarity, and calling. Others are leading homes, teaching children, writing stories, or stepping into visible leadership.
There's no single right doorway. Only the one that fits your season.
Wherever you begin — I'm glad you found your way here.

“nothing short of transformative.” — mindy ruiz, utopia Conference

The Harmony Bloom Pathway™
Find Yourself Again—and Learn to Live From Who You Are Becoming
Harmony Bloom™ is my faith-filled, story-shaped framework for women who sense a quiet knowing:
Something is shifting — and the old ways of living no longer fit.
This pathway equips you to name your season, reclaim your voice, and step into a life that feels rooted, radiant, and real — without pressure, performance, or pretending you're fine.
Harmony Bloom™ isn't about fixing yourself.
It's about remembering who you are — and learning how to live from that place.
It's for women in the in-between:
The capable ones.
The faithful ones.
The ones holding families, callings, and communities together — while quietly wondering where they went.
Whether you're navigating burnout, transition, visibility, grief, renewal, or a holy restlessness you can't ignore...
this is the work that brings you home to yourself.
Harmony Bloom™ Empowers You To:
Reconnect with who you are beneath roles and expectations
Restore self-trust and spiritual clarity
Build a rhythm that supports your real life — not an idealized one
Find peace in the pause and courage in the stretch
Recognize God's glittering fingerprints woven through your everyday
Most women begin through a live experience or guided workshop — and then choose deeper mentorship when they're ready to live this work out loud.

The Legacy of Learning Approach™:
Lead Your Home With Vision, Rhythm, & Confident Curiosity
Legacy of Learning™ is my leadership-centered approach for families who want education to serve their life—not consume it.
This work isn't about recreating school at home or chasing the perfect plan.
It's about leading a learning culture where curiosity, connection, and long-range vision shape everyday choices.
A home where learning feels alive—
and leadership feels grounded.
Where children learn how to learn, not just what—
and a genuine love of learning is unleashed.

Stories of Transformation, Confidence, and Legacy—from women, families, and Events across every season of life
I have been counseled by Rachel on academic strategies, support methods, and ideas on best practices in instruction—topics that have served me well in the design of my own training and the support of educators across the country. I've also used her lessons with my own children. Rachel Harris is charismatic, kind, and committed to student growth and development. I highly recommend her.
Rachel captivated the audience with her genuine warmth and infectious enthusiasm. The panel focused on encouraging attendees to step out of their shyness and forge meaningful connections at conferences, and her contribution was nothing short of transformative. Rachel dismantled barriers with her approachable demeanor, and her heartfelt encouragement sparked not just enthusiasm but eager anticipation among the audience, who left inspired.
A warmhearted, breezy treat bolstered by strong characters, an engaging and multilayered story, and sharp writing. The compulsively readable narrative is crisp and incisive, with flashes of wit. Lily says: "I have zero rhythm. Like, think of your favorite dancer, subtract every ounce of talent they have...take a little more, and then you'll have me." A charming and delightful romance with dynamic characters.
Rachel created a Teen Leadership Council for our homeschool community, and extended her service to parents, helping us navigate the tricky waters of applying to college and building strong transcripts—I love that she sees a need and throws herself into filling it herself. And she does an excellent job at it, to boot!
Rachel Harris is professional, poised, and speaks with authority while being accessible, funny, and inspiring her listeners. She showcased her sparkling wit and demonstrable expertise as a featured speaker on four panels at the Baltimore Book Festival, a major East Coast event drawing thousands of readers. I highly recommend this A+ speaker.
Butterflies in the tummy, sore cheeks, happy sigh-inducing, love you to death, and can't get enough of you book. I can't even form coherent sentences...Adorable, funny, and heart-wrenching. This is a book I hugged in my sleep. Absolutely ADORED!
I've had the pleasure of knowing Rachel personally and professionally since 2009. She taught my children Creative Writing and helped them run the Teen Leadership Council. She also helped my eldest apply for college. I can tell you she is one of the smartest and kindest people that I know. When she approaches sharing learning with others on any subject, she is profoundly organized, researched her topics to 110%, and presents material in a fun and creative way. She is a gem!
Dear Mrs. Rachel, I love you so much. Thank you for teaching us. From Madelyn
