Furthermore, her contributions to the “Global Hope Conference” and her published advice in “Authority Magazine” on developing serenity in anxious times underscore her commitment to fostering well-being and resilience.
Her literary contributions, including co-authoring the #1 bestseller “1 Habit for Entrepreneurial Success” and her latest book, "On the Healer's Journey," offer readers a treasure trove of wisdom and practical strategies for self-improvement and healing.
