REIMAGINE Newsletter ☀️ v1

Official Launch!

Welcome!

I’m so thrilled to welcome you to the first edition of my new newsletter, REIMAGINE. Reimagine is a new way to approach life's challenges, inspiring you to turn them into opportunities to live more purposefully- with greater connection and meaning. After we lost our daughter Penny at age 16, I understood that it is not your lifespan that matters, but your wingspan – how many lives you touch, how you show up to help others. With Penny guiding me, I am now focused on how I can help others face challenges, both big and small. 

I have had a busy past couple of months, so let me catch you up!

I had an amazing time at Deerfield Academy, where I was included in their 10th annual TEDx Talk, themed “The Butterfly Effect.” I was thrilled to speak on “How to Find Your Purpose and Affect People’s Lives in the Most Inspiring and Surprising Ways.”


Stay tuned for the upcoming release of my TED talk (TBD…I will send out the link when it’s ready)

At Berkshire School, I was invited to teach an inspiring three-day Pro Vita class on “How to Launch a Foundation – Turning Pain Into Purpose.”

I was so impressed and inspired by the passion and creativity of these students. Seeing them turn inspiration into action reminds me of the impact we are all capable of making. 

More recently, Tanger invited me to speak with their team as part of their wellness program for a conversation focused on mental, physical, and emotional health in the workplace and at home. Drawing from my own personal journey and professional experience, we discussed how challenges can become a source of healing, transformation and renewed meaning in our lives.

BOOK NEWS

I am THRILLED to announce that I signed with Hay House, Inc. to publish my book on reimaging grief. I am grateful for my inspiring writing partner, Sara Bliss, and big thanks to my fantastic literary agent, Adriana Stimola for believing in me. I am excited to be on this journey, and I could not have done it without the Hay House team and Sally Mason-Swaab, our brilliant editor. Stay tuned for the release in June 2026, and more details to come!

REIMAGINE Platform

My new platform, Reimagine, is a space for everyone. As a speaker, coach, author, and founder, I help others reimagine a different path through adversity. My speaking topics include turning pain into purpose, post-traumatic growth, reimagining grief and loss, the connection between mental health and mental fitness, taking care of yourself and others, midlife career changes, and how to launch a foundation. My hope is to inspire you to think in a new way, to expand your mind, and IMAGINE a new positive, purposeful, and powerful way forward.

JULY 15TH WORKSHOP

I am excited to launch the first of a series of workshops, where I will teach and guide you through some of my Reimagine themes. 

The inaugural workshop, “How to Launch a Purpose Driven Project” will be held via zoom on Tuesday July 15th, 5-7 PM EST.
