About the Guest:

Coleen is a compassionate, empathetic

and boldly authentic human being who made it her life’s work to support women

on their path toward their fullest potential.  But she wasn’t always this way. 

Like most, she’s been plagued by the weight of her own self defeating thoughts -

having carried some for over four decades!  Yet, through her own path of

self-discovery, spiritual exploration, and personal upheavals, Coleen emerged

as a boldly authentic human being, radiating an unimaginable source of joy.

It was through her 10 year old’s son suicide attempt that she discovered her

calling as a Joyologist.  When no doctor or therapist would help she and her family

heal, Coleen knew it was up to her to put the pieces of their lives back

together again.  Through Coleen’s role as a Joyologist, she now guides

others along their own paths to reclaiming joy. She empowers women who feel

stuck to break free from limiting beliefs and rediscover the richness of life.

Some feel they aren’t good enough.  Others feel they aren’t worthy and

still others feel their best days are behind them.  Her approach is

holistic, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in

achieving lasting joy.
