Rachel describes herself as an Advantageist: one who expands perspective to find the advantages in difficult experiences. She operates under the philosophy that we should "never be afraid to do the right thing" and aspires to be a human being, rather than a human doing. Finney shares her bliss and her home with her husband, 2 children, 3 dogs, 2 cats and 3 fish. It’s hairy.
