I’m a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and health expert whose work has appeared in The New York Times, NBC-TV, and many other national media outlets. I help organizations build resilience and well-being through The Thrilling Life™, a science-backed framework that transforms simple daily rituals into tools for clarity, steadiness, and renewal. 

In a time of unprecedented stress, people don’t need more on their plate—they need smarter ways to restore their energy. Drawing on my formal studies in trauma-informed care, embodied healing, and neuroscience, I help people repurpose what they’re already doing—like sipping coffee or taking a short walk—into powerful tools for nervous-system regulation and recovery. At the heart of this approach is a powerful but often overlooked pathway to well-being: the science of everyday delight.

​

Grounded in neuroscience, biology, and positive psychology, The Thrilling Life™ draws on decades of research into how the brain and body respond to stress—and also on personal legacy. My mother survived Auschwitz, and her experience taught me that small moments of delight aren’t indulgences. They’re essential tools for survival.

When people learn to recognize and savor these micro-moments of delight, their nervous systems reset more easily. They think more clearly, connect more deeply, and recover faster from stress—without adding one more task to their day.

​

In an era of deep exhaustion and constant change, The Thrilling Life™ offers a science-backed and profoundly human way to rebuild steadiness, focus, and joy—one simple ritual at a time.

Life is difficult. Building resilience shouldn't be.
