Meet Rahbynn Phillips-Brown | Tax Professional and Small Business Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rahbynn Phillips-Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rahbynn, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
How has my balanced changed over time? Wowwwww it has changed greatly! I used to always prioritize work over any and everything and now I prioritize myself. It was not easy. I used to feel so guilty for putting myself first but when I got ill back in 2021-2022, I had no choice and was forced to prioritize REST over WORK. When I think about my work life balance in the past, it had no balance. I just worked, nothing else. Work, sleep, eat. Now I schedule time for the gym, therapy, and even Pup Cup dates with my dog. It was not an easy lesson to learn but I had to learn it and I am happy that I did.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
So I started business coaching on accident. I started doing taxes once COVID hit and my job offer was taken away. I got where I am today by hard work, staying open minded, networking and educating myself and using mentors. I worked in a lot of different industries and always looked at ways that we could improve our team, but I realized, sometimes people want things to stay broken and don’t want to fix them. They actually gain more from being broken than fixing the problem. When I realized this, I realized I had to make a shift and no it was not easy. I wanted to be around the people who make change and not just talk about it and those how accept and take accountability. I really overcame this challenge by staying loyal to my beliefs and values. The main lesson that I learned along the way in that you must stay solid in your belief system and values because you will be tested and you will need support. What I really want the world to know about my brand’s story is that my brand may have been built out of pain but it is truly my passion.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
To be honest, if my best friend came to visit, it would be so corny. We would go to Dollar Tree and get all our favorite snacks and then to the grocery store so we can prep for movie night. We miss watching movies together so we would watch the first three Harry Potter’s and then some Star War’s and then I’ll let her pick out something that she loves and I’ll make us s’mores, flatbreads and trail mix. We would head down to the beach as well and just really be big nerds, collecting sea shells and chasing the birds and rolling around in the water. We love to just go walking so we would most likely walk to a cool local spot and if they have some Wi-Fi, she’ll start coding a program and I will design a website. We are pretty lame but we love it! If I’m with my best friend, literally anything that we would do together is just fun together! Yes, we are that lame. lol

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
To be honest, My Daddy! We have been through a lot and life has not been easy for us but He has always been by my side, even if I felt like He isn’t. We can be like cats and dogs and like two peas in a pod at the same time! But I am thankful for his sacrifices, lessons, and blessings. I know I want to do more for Him and He is the reason why I go so hard. I just want to give Him back 1% of what He has given me. My Father has taught me just about everything I know! I really can stand on my own and hold my own because of Him. I know it seems like I don’t listen Daddy, but I hear every word You say. Everything I am doing is to make us more comfortable, even if it doesn’t seem like it. Trust me, I do trust You, I got You like You got me because it’s just Me & You and we are a team! Thank you Daddy!
