Hello fellow Steem-sters! I’m so excited to be giving my official introduction and share my journey with you all. I’ve had a pretty interesting ride so far.
According to Google I’m an Australian model and beauty pageant titleholder (I was lucky enough to win the Miss Universe Australia competition in 2009 & place 3rd runner-up in the world pageant). The beauty about modern platforms like these is that we can share more.

SPORT - MODEL
My journey started running down an athletics track when I was 3 in North Queensland, Australia. I grew up in a small town and played sport at any chance I could get. My dream was to compete at the Olympics in long jump or the 200m sprint. As a family, our Sunday ritual was a full day of water skiing. I learnt how to barefoot waterski at 14 and when I was 15 a model scout approached me in the airport to ask if I wanted to enter a local competition. I had to laugh as I looked down at my legs which were covered with bruises and scratches at the time. I decided to enter and couldn’t believe it when I actually won! My Olympic dreams were put aside and I started traveling the world at 17. I’ve lived in model apartments in many different countries including New Zealand, Singapore, Germany, London, America and spent 4-5 years working & building my book. Some highlights include walking on runways for brands like Chanel & shooting TV commercials at iconic locations across the globe.
TELEVISION
After entering the Miss Universe comp, I was then lucky enough to sign with Chanel 7 – one of the main television networks here in Australia. I’ve been able to work on some pretty cool events with my 7 family including the Australian Open tennis (which is where I am now writing this to you), the Olympics, travel & news programs and more. I’m also the current brand ambassador for department store Myer, and have recently launched my own activewear range B.O.D by Finch, and about to re-launch my online health & wellness program www.bodybyfinch.com.

DANCING WITH THE STARS
Incase you haven’t guessed, I’m a lover of health and fitness. I love knowing what’s going to make me happier, healthier and stronger. I wrote a book about this too – appropriately titled ‘Happy Healthy Strong’ (book #2 in the making..). I want to know what’s going to make me a better person and get more out of life. I hate feeling ‘tired’ & being ‘shitty’ Rachael. In 2010 I was asked to be on Dancing with the Stars & my competitive side pushed me over the line to say yes. It’s been the best thing I’ve ever done. 3 years later I married my dance partner, Michael Miziner who you’ll find on Google too. (He’s also a fellow Steem-ee)… Together we now have 2 amazing children, Violet 4 and Dominic 10 months. They’ll feature a lot on this journey – the 3 of them are my everything.
WHAT I SHARE
I’ve been working on my body my entire life. I’ve experimented with diets, fitness programs & have made a huge turn in my health. I used to be so focused on the aesthetic and wasn’t concerned with what was happening underneath my body. I went through stages where I lost my periods for months and have slowly worked to get in tune with my body and work out ways to listen to it. I’m constantly sharing my food ideas & recipes, at-home workouts, skin regime, tips on how to de-stress, meditation & so much more. I want you to feel amazing too! I get my happiness & fulfilment from being able to give back. I simply share what works for me and what’s improved my health. I’ve expanded my knowledge in the health space by also studying to become a Health Coach and Personal Trainer.
Stay with me for all my updates (you can also follow me on insta - @rachael_finch).
So much love, Rach.
Welcome @rachaelfinch.
Hi Rachel! Welcome on Steemit!
We're happy to have you with us! You seem like a very cool person!
On behalf of Steem I would love to verify that you are the person you claim to be.
Could you add your Steem account to your Instagram account and then reply to this comment to let me know you did.
If you do, I'll give you a 100$+ upvote!
how do i do that , you mean just on my profile ?
I thought it could be done on Instagram but I think I might be wrong. I'm really sorry if I made you search in vain.
You could message me on my Facebook or at a link to your Steemit profile on your youtube account. Or you can message me on twitter or simply follow me there. Again make sure to reply to this comment.

I think the coolest thing would be if you just take a screenshot of your introduction here and post that image on instagram with a little text - Big whales here appreciate any efforts to getting the word out about this platform ;)
On the other side you could link to your Instagram on your profile here!
Just go to Settings:
and set your website to your instagram accounts link:

I should imagine with having 2 children & a life like yours free time is a bit on the sparse side.

Welcome to #steemit, @rachaelfinch. Today is my first day here as well. You look gorgeous on that yellow dress! * kiss
Welcome on board Rachel. This is quite exiting talking to a VIP. Usually it is hard to see a real person behind the shiny covers of mode magazines.
So, from one universe to an other. Enjoy the journey with all of us!
Wow, welcome i am zamil from Indonesian.

Welcome! This is really cool that you're on here. I think you're on to something and smart that you joined when you did. You have the potential to develop a large following quickly. Anyhow, let me know if I can help in any way. I joined this past summer, but didn't really start to take it seriously until about a week ago! Cheers and happy day to you.
Welcome!! It's nice to see you, you makes me remind olivia newton john... Love and peace👦
Greetings from Florida USA, fellow Pageant girl!
I work on TV in the USA and did the pageant route in my young days.
I hope you are having fun in your career and mommy-hood. Your children are darling.
I found Steemit about 5 weeks ago and am muddling through involvement with it in between appearing on TV to 98 million people here in the USA.
Welcome and enjoy!
It's astounding how much work goes into taking care of someone's body. I admire the effort and commitment that you've put behind this.
I've personally always believed the body isn't ours but only a vehicle we use to go through our lives, therefore I live by the concept of wanting to return my body in the best shape possible. I admit however, it's a very philosophical point of view.
I look forward to following your story on here.
Welcome aboard. I'm also a recent steemian. Looking forward to your posts.
