Rachel John celebrates wins
John has more to celebrate than just her birthday. On Thursday, 11 December, she revealed that her book titled Gelukkig heb ik ADHD, which translates to Fortunately, I Have ADHD, became a bestseller.
"Life has been treating me so good lately. Woke up this morning and saw my book became a bestseller after just one month," she wrote.
She released the autobiography on 9 September 2025, and she took some time to celebrate the people who made this book a success.
“After a year and a half of writing, it is there. All of my vulnerable sides are now just in a book that is sold everywhere, wowie. That's still crazy to say out loud.”
Rachel invited all of the important people in her life for the book launch, from her mentors to family and friends.
“And then the BOOK LAUNCH! Very special. First of all, I would like to thank @erikwegewijs. He coached me during special forces, but what you don't see is that it just continues afterwards. He kept on giving advice. He kept reminding me of what I had learned. And then he also came to speak at the launch! This was incredibly beautiful.”
It seems as though Rachel and Siya have quite a lot to celebrate should the speculations be true.
