My Story

I began my journey with what I call a “rebirth” when my 23 year marriage ended and my mother and sister passed away, all within a period of five months. Broken and unsure if I could go on, I used the tremendous loss and personal pain as the catalyst to a new life. During a period of self-discovery, I came to understand that we are impacted by all aspects of life, and are not just the mind, body, soul or spirit, but a sum of the whole. With that knowledge, I set out to provide information that connects the dots between those components and it is my goal to educate, inspire, motivate, and empower others. That goal led to the creation of the Change Your Attitude … Change Your Life brand, a digital magazine, weekly newsletter, newspaper column, speaking engagements, events, and more.

As a transformational leader, I offer hope with a message about the power of positive thoughts and intentions, and I guide people on how to embrace and deal with change instead of fearing and hiding from it. I have been featured in Forbes, on the BBC, and other print and broadcast media. My recent speaking engagements include keynotes at the New Jersey Governor’s Conference for Woman, The New Jersey Association of Women Business Owners Annual Meeting, The Morris County Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Conference, and The Power of Positive Medicine Expo with Dr. Bernie Siegel. I was a voice for the American Lung Association’s Taking a Breath for Women campaign.

I am passionate about giving back to society and am involved with various non-profit organizations. I was honored with a New Jersey Governor’s citation and a Mayor’s award for local hurricane flood relief initiatives.
