Rachel Kolisi is seizing the moment.
After her highly publicised split from Springboks captain Siya Kolisi, Rachel has focused on self-development and mindfulness and her new initiative "Falling Forward", which is set to launch in 2026, is a testament to this.
Rachel announced the project on Instagram, as part of her newly developed website, rachelkolisi.com, designed by Creatory.
On the website's home page, she shares: "This site is a window into my world: the projects I’m building, the stories I’m telling, the communities I am building and the causes I’m passionate about."
She adds: "It’s also a space where you can connect with me more personally, beyond headlines or social media snippets, and get a real sense of who I am and what drives me."
To the people who visit the site, she says: "Whether you’re here to learn about my work, to join in one of my initiatives, or simply to draw encouragement for your own journey, I hope you leave with a spark of inspiration and a reminder that we all move forward by taking one step at a time, especially after a fall.
"Falling forward has become more than a phrase to me; it’s a way of living, a choice to rise again."
The launch of the website signals Rachel's "boss girl era" and consolidates her business ventures and personal advocacy under one umbrella.
What we know about "Falling Forward".
"Falling Forward" is a movement and a dedicated section on her website.
It is designed as a space to "inspire, connect and remind us all that even in our falling, there is purpose".
The concept centres on resilience, turning setbacks, failures or "falls" into opportunities for growth. It aligns with Rachel's personal mantra of finding purpose in hardship.
The project was born as a response to her own recent life changes, following the announcement of her divorce from Siya in late 2024.
"Falling Forward" focuses on rebuilding, "rediscovering herself", and entering a new chapter of independence and empowerment.
Fans and supporters have rallied around her new venture, referring to 2026 as her "year of multiplication".
