  From Banking to Building Dreams - Rachael Uí Bhaoill on Redirection after Injury & Starting Spreag 04.08.2026 1h 6min

  After 17 years in banking, Rachael Uí Bhaoill walked away from the being extremely successful in the corporate world to starting from scratch building something completely her own, after an injury opened her eyes to what needed changing in her life. In this week’s episode of Shake the Ground, Nathalie chats with Rachael about taking the leap from a high earning financial planner to starting from scratch. Rachael is the founder of Spreag, the renovation strategy business helping people create beautiful homes without losing control of their finances. But this conversation goes far beyond bricks and budgets. We talk about the career that shaped her, the injury that forced her to slow down and reassess everything, taking the risk of leaving security behind, and why financial clarity is one of the greatest forms of freedom. We also dive into the power of social media, how Instagram unexpectedly became a huge part of growing her business. If you’ve ever dreamed of changing careers, renovating a home, starting something of your own, or simply finding the courage to begin again, this episode is for you.
