Tell us a little about yourself—both personally and professionally.
I’m a senior, and I say that proudly. I’m an author, a TEDx speaker, and someone who truly loves helping people get their stories out into the world—much like what you do at Humans of Fuzia, though my work is largely through books. I help people become best-selling authors when possible and ensure their stories are told in their own words, because that authenticity really matters.
Professionally, I’m an international speaker and trainer, particularly in sales and mindset. Some people call me a “divine wordsmith” because when I speak with people about challenges they’re facing, the words and ideas just seem to flow naturally. I love helping others find clarity and confidence—and most of all, I love seeing them succeed.
You mentioned storytelling as a core part of your work. Why is that so important to you?
Stories are powerful. They help people feel seen, understood, and less alone. When someone shares their journey honestly—whether through a book, a talk, or a conversation—it creates connection. Helping people express their truth and turn their experiences into something meaningful is something I’m deeply passionate about.
What kind of work do you do with individuals and organizations today?
I work with both individuals and corporate teams, primarily through sales and mindset training. One of the unique tools I use involves visual representations of thought patterns. I conducted a study using Kirlian photography to visually capture different types of thoughts—happy, average, frustrated, and focused.
When people actually see what their thoughts look like, it creates a powerful shift. It’s something you don’t forget easily, and it helps people move beyond mental blocks and into higher levels of productivity, performance, and success.
How do people usually find or connect with you?
I’m most active on LinkedIn and Facebook. I’m also reachable via email or phone—I really value one-on-one, personal connections. That’s something I’ve always believed in, even as the world becomes more digitally driven. I may not be everywhere online yet, but I’m learning and adapting.
What has been the most challenging part of your journey as a coach and entrepreneur?
Reaching people has been the biggest challenge, especially in today’s crowded digital space. I ran a marketing business for many years, but when COVID hit, everything changed. Many of my clients were affected, which meant I had to pivot as well.
Standing out and reaching the right people—especially when technology evolves so quickly—can be tough. I’m learning, growing, and making the effort, but it’s definitely been one of the most challenging aspects of my journey.
And what has been the most rewarding or enjoyable part?
Without a doubt, seeing client success. Whether I’m coaching, training, or simply brainstorming ideas with someone, watching them grow and step into their potential brings me immense joy. Those moments—when creativity flows and people gain clarity—are the most fulfilling parts of my work.
Looking ahead, what are your plans and goals for 2026?
2026 is a year of expansion for me. I want to do more keynote speaking and training, especially sharing my work around mindset and conscious thinking.
I’m also writing a deeply personal book titled Grateful Yet Grieving, inspired by a major health event I experienced in 2024 when I suddenly needed a pacemaker. While I’m incredibly grateful for modern medicine, there’s also a quiet grief that comes with such experiences—something people don’t talk about enough.
Additionally, I’m working on the second book in my Live Life in WOW series—WOW stands for Wonder, Openness, and Wisdom—and launching a new program called Stepping Forward into Conscious Expansion. I expect 2026 to be a full and meaningful year.
“Helping others succeed and share their stories is not just my work—it’s my purpose.”
