Rachael's first book Read My Lips was written with co-authors Cyndi O'Meara, Jodie McIver, Fleur Whelligan, Kim Morrison, and Allison Mooney, and released 14 February 2006.
In the following years, Rachael stopped travelling and left the public eye to dedicate her time to raising her 3 boys, write, mentor and develop her book production company which she still manages today.
Bermingham, once a professional diver at Mooloolaba's Underwater World (now known as Sea Life), is also an avid surfer and is often spotted out in the water at the popular Sunshine Coast surfing breaks at Kawana, Maroochydore and Alexandra Headland.
She also did a weekly stint on Channel 9's Today Show until exiting from media life to spend time raising her boys and focusing on her publishing company Bermingham Books and community interests.
Rachael lives on Australia's Sunshine Coast and has three sons, Jaxson, 17 years old and 12-year-old twin boys Bowie and Casey.
