Thank you for being here.

This is our very first newsletter, and as we consolidate our various email lists into one, we notice that the vast majority of you are here thanks to the ever-expanding global Cacao Community.

You’ve expressed interest in staying connected, whether through upcoming virtual and in-person Cacao Circles, and we want to ensure you receive those updates in the most direct and intentional way. That’s why we’re launching the Feedback Loop Coaching Email List. May this serve as a space for community, insight, and rooted connection.

With that in mind, we’re thrilled to invite you to our next Virtual Cacao Circle!

On February 14th at Noon, we’ll gather in sacred virtual space to explore the themes of Self-Love & Mirror Work—a powerful practice for deepening our relationship with ourselves. Whether you’re new to Cacao or a longtime practitioner, this is an opportunity to nourish your heart, cultivate self-compassion, and connect with kindred souls.

We’d love to share this moment with you. Grab your favorite mug, brew up some Cacao (tea and water are also welcome), settle in, and let’s journey from the head to the heart together.

Of course not everyone has entrusted us with your email address because of your interest in Cacao. Many of you are here because you’ve taken the ELI Assessment, completed The Law of Being, or have otherwise shown interest in our coaching work. No matter how you arrived, we’re grateful for you.

Your attention is sacred, and we honor that.

In a world overflowing with information, your focus could be anywhere right now—scrolling Instagram, reading Facebook comments, or watching YouTube—but instead, you’re here, reading these words. Thank you.

At Feedback Loop Coaching, we are deeply committed to keeping our Feedback Loops pure. As creators, we recognize that what we consume impacts what we express. To ensure the most resonant and aligned output, we carefully curate our input—choosing optimism, infinite possibilities, compassion, and solutions over the noise of distraction and reactivity.

The Information Age is a minefield. Every post, headline, and comment pulls at our attention, tempting us to react, recirculate, and perpetuate narratives that may not serve us. But how do we discern propaganda from truth? How do we ensure that what we consume aligns with what we wish to create?

One way is through Purifying Our Feedback Loops. This practice is so close to our hearts that we’ve created a free workbook to help you do the same.

If you’re ready to clear mental clutter, reclaim your focus, and align your energy with what truly matters, this workbook is for you.

This workbook was inspired by Rachel’s own mental decluttering journey when she eliminated social media for 4 months.

With Deep Gratitude

We thank you for being a part of this growing community.

Whether you’ve connected with us through Cacao Circles, coaching programs, or personal exploration, your presence means everything.

If this newsletter or the Feedback Loop Purification Workbook resonates with you, we’d love to hear your reflections! Your insights and experiences not only fuel our work but also inspire others on their journeys.

As a supplement to the Workbook, we’re also including iPEC’s “Self-Perception Chart” below. This tool can help you discern which external feedback expands you into compassion, peace, joy, and passion—and which causes contraction into anger and apathy.

This chart is included with every ELI Assessment & Debrief session, so if you’ve taken the assessment, you can check back in and compare your results to the chart as you continue refining your awareness.

Curious About the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) Assessment?

Many in our community have taken the ELI Assessment & Debrief, a powerful tool that reveals how your energy shifts under stress and in daily life. It provides deep insights into your thought patterns, emotional reactions, and leadership tendencies, helping you navigate life and business with greater awareness.

Here’s what past participants have shared:

“The ELI Assessment was a game-changer. I now recognize my energy levels in real time and shift into more empowering states.”

“Understanding my energetic patterns gave me the clarity and confidence to make aligned decisions in both my personal and professional life.”

If you’re feeling called to explore your energetic blueprint, we’d love to guide you through an ELI Assessment & Debrief session.
