North Wales > Mallorca
When Rachel Clacher CBE first arrived in Mallorca, she expected sunshine and a slower rhythm of life, but what she discovered was something far more transformative. In her conversation with Helen, Rachel reflects on finding her dream home in Alaró, restoring it with care, and eventually co-founding Coertze & Clacher, a boutique development studio rooted in craftsmanship and community. She speaks openly about the island’s unique blend of creativity, connection, and authenticity — qualities that became the foundation for her new life.
The episode also explores Rachel’s remarkable professional journey. As the co-founder of Moneypenny, she built one of the UK’s happiest workplaces, leading with empathy, curiosity, and a commitment to doing business differently. Her passion for people later inspired her to create WeMindTheGap, a charity that empowers young people through opportunity and mentorship. Throughout the conversation, she reflects on leadership, purpose, and the courage it takes to build organisations that genuinely care for their communities.
Most movingly, Rachel shares the story of her daughter Josie and how, after unimaginable loss, Mallorca became a place of healing and renewal. She speaks with heartfelt honesty about choosing to stay on the island during grief and transforming that pain into actions that uplift others. This episode is ultimately about resilience, love, and the quiet power of creating beauty even in the darkest seasons — a testament to how place, people, and purpose can reshape a life.
