my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Years of hard work, focus and support from friends, my husband and mentors.

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

There is more love in my relationships. I feel more passion about using my expertise as a psychologist, author and speaker in making a difference in the world on a much larger scale.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see myself enjoying my grandchildren... Lot of world travel - much of which will be professionally related, working with victims of post-traumatic stress. I envision myself having a leadership role in the field of psychology and educating people about successfully managing their emotional realities. Publication of several books on various psychological issues.
