Hi, I’m Lori.
I’m an author, and my books are written for women, especially those who feel like they’re surviving instead of thriving. I believe when a woman isn’t thriving, it’s often because her true nature has been buried, dismissed, or forgotten.
When you hide who you really are, life doesn’t just lose its joy, it can become exhausting, disheartening, and even unsafe. But the moment you start living in alignment with who you truly are, something beautiful happens: life begins to feel like yours again.
I write to help women remember that.
My books are here to guide you back to yourself—gently, powerfully, and with love. They’re a light on the path to a more authentic, fulfilling, and delightful life.
My Personal Story
Something more
I always sensed there was something more for me. But until I hit bottom, I was complacent to live just as I was.
In 1997 I lived in a historic Philadelphia suburban home with my husband and our two babies. What I thought was a dream turned into a nightmare the day my marriage ended.
I thought I was unlovable and something was wrong with me. Nothing I valued seemed to matter and I didn’t value myself. I ached for something more though I didn’t know what it was or how to get it.
The trauma from the abuse of my childhood and early adulthood came back full force and I fell into despair, depression, and deep grief. I could barely function.
When I decided to allow myself to get angry and give voice to a lifetime of denied truth, everything changed. Everything. Something more emerged.
Freedom
For the first time in my life I experienced freedom to live life on my own terms. I began to trust and value myself. When my primary relationship, the one with myself, transformed, the most amazing things started happening. My relationships with everyone else transformed too. I started to nurture only relationships that were mutually honorable and fulfilling, and if they weren’t, they ended.
What started as a desperate attempt at survival became a journey of personal discovery. I dove deep into a well of wisdom accessible only through getting grounded in my body. I liberated the leader within me.
Powerless to empowered
I became an international empowerment leader. Got a black belt in karate. I raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for those in need around the world, built a school in Uganda and saved lives. I earned an MS in Leadership, trained as a life coach with the best trainers and became a certified life coach through International Coach Federation. I was VP on 3 nonprofit boards that served international communities and Rotary International awarded me the prestigious honor of Service Above Self.
Then I burnt out. I was still trying to prove my worth by what I did rather than who I was. It was time to dive even deeper and transform subconscious beliefs, heal old traumas, clear karmic patterns and more.
Letting Go
Letting go is a practice. I practice surrendering effort and choosing presence. I practice listening to my body, trusting my intuition, and letting joy lead. I let my extraordinary intuitive self out of the closet. I embraced my mystical self. I took a year off and didn’t do anything unless it was fun. Spiritual concepts went from being intellectual ideas to becoming embodied truths – embodied truths that are practical, magical and enlightening.
Today I live in Italy, having fulfilled a lifelong dream. I’ve written two nonfiction books for women: Anger 101: The Healthy Approach to Being a Bitch, and Something About Greatness: 7 Simple Steps to Align with Your True Nature and Thrive. Currently I’m writing a historical fiction novel set in modern-day and 1500s Italy, braided with mystery, mysticism, and ancestral memory. My life is abundant, fulfilling and free. I am the divine feminine rooted in the untamed wilderness within.
