I never really thought about how my story could provide value to others until the day someone reached out to me to share how reading my story helped her during her struggles. Because you see, I know what it feels like to be weighed down by challenges that seemed impossible to overcome, yet I did. Instead of saying, "why me" I said, "what’s next" and allowed my mess to guide me into discovering my true life’s purpose. And now, I have the pleasure of helping others do the same.
From a broke single mom to a top-rated podcast host, best-selling author with 15 books, and Profitize Your Purpose™ Coach, I love guiding entrepreneurs through my process to harness the power of story, systems, and community to build a more dynamic brand, attract more clients, and make more money.
On a more personal level, I am an avid reader, a serial smart-ass, and a proud grandma of the two most adorable kids ever! And, I have thousands of photos to prove it. I swear I will NEVER skydive, but I am addicted to triple-digit speeds down open country roads on my blinged-out Harley.
I have two kids, two grandkids, and a cute Minpin named Missy who is my current fur baby.
Q: Where were you born, where were you raised, and where do you currently live (City, State/Province, Country)?
I was born and raised in Carol Stream, Illinois and lived in that area my whole life until a few months ago when I moved to Florida.
Q: What is one of your favorite quotes or lines in a song or movie and why does it resonate with you?
Changing Just One Thing… Can Change Everything!
Q: What inspired you or led you to your current career?
I believe God has orchestrated a series of events to bring me to this divine career.
Q: What do you enjoy most about what you do?
I enjoy seeing my clients create success in their businesses!
Q: What advice would you give to your 18-year-old self?
Don't do it! LOL – J.K., but not really…
Q: What is one of your favorite places to be or travel to?
I love Alaska, Mackinac Island, and Paris. I want to visit Hawaii.
Q: If you could choose anyone (past or present, fictional or real) with whom to have lunch, who would it be and why?
I would love to have lunch with my Dad, Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa who have all passed.
Q: Who inspires you to be the best version of yourself?
My grandkids inspire me because I want to leave a great legacy for them.
Q: How did you first discover “The Go-Giver”?
Bob spoke to my women's community in Chicago back in 2005 and I then became a City Partner and hosted an Endless Referrals Live event.
Q: Finally, how can we know if someone we come in contact with is a good connection or prospective customer/client for you?
If you meet someone who values their time more then money, and they want to stop working one on one with their clients and create a scalable online business, my EPIC Mastery program will help them make it happen.
