Work of Art by Rachel Bell
I'm peeling back the curtain on the personal business mindset principles that keep me from spiralling into a stress-fueled mess. Let’s be real—most of you are out here looking for a prescriptive "right way" to do business, but business isn't a formula. It’s an art. If you’re tired of feeling dysregulated and overwhelmed by the noise, it’s time to stop looking for a template and start becoming an expert on yourself. Listen in as I share how I act as my own "bodyguard" to protect my creative essence and relaxation. I’m breaking down why "context switching" is the silent killer of...

Let's be real for a second: if you're spending the majority of your waking hours in a negative state of mind because you loathe your "job," you're doing it wrong. Whether you're trying to build a community, a brand, or a fat bank account, your relationship with work determines if you're actually living or just suffering through the grind. I've had the "abusive" relationships with work where I ran myself into the ground, and I've had the ones that left me energized and satisfied. Today, I'm showing you exactly how to brainwash yourself into the latter. Listen in as I share the three principles...

Hiding your struggles is keeping you broke and disconnected from your audience. I realized this when I made my first million at 23—people didn't see the discipline or the betrayals; they just saw a "blonde Instagram chick" and spat venom because they lacked context. We’re diving deep into the psychology of Narrative Transportation, that state where your audience stops judging you and starts living the story with you. I’m breaking down how I alchemized eating canned tuna and failing 20 sales calls into a brand that people actually trust. If you're ready to transcend "basic bitch branding"...

Buckle in, because we’re moving past the surface-level shizz to dive into the six foundational pieces—like personal mythology, brand archetypes, and real-ass magnetism—that turn your brand into a compounding investment and ensure you...

If the title feels aggressive, good—I'm actually back, bitches, and I missed the living sh*t out of this. It’s 2026, and we are officially done with the era where work equals suffering; the only sane option left is to turn your business into a masterpiece. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my radical healing journey, why I killed "Payday with Rayray" to launch Work of Art, and how you can survive the current "trust recession" by treating your brand like world-building. Buckle in, because I’m about to show you how to resurrect your inner artist and get paid for your...

It’s been a long time since the last one of these Payday’s with Rayray, but today I’m joined by my best friend Jessica Benstock to share with you all why I haven’t been uploading and who better to talk about it with than Jessica, who's been right by my side. In this episode Jessica helps me unpack all that's happened since my last episode. I've received a ton of questions from all of you over the last year about my life transitions and how I've been handling them (and not handling them). I hope this conversation gives you a deeper understanding of why I've made some major...
