After four decades of building brands, businesses, and beautifully lived-in spaces, I’ve decided it’s time to spill the champagne—and the secrets.

I’ve worn every hat: renovation expert, boutique boss, brand whisperer, creative director, Hollywood insider, and award-winning entrepreneur. (Some days I wore all six—and still managed to show up in lipstick and heels.) I’ve restored homes and hearts, built empires and burned bridges, hosted sold-out retreats, and survived betrayals so wild they could’ve been plotlines on primetime TV.

Now? I’m writing it all down.

The messy middles behind the reinvention. The plot twists behind the pretty pictures. The confessions whispered in dressing rooms—and the ones I never dared say out loud… until now.

Through The No Fear Collection™, I help others do the same—rewrite their next chapter with bold truth, killer style, and a little lipstick-fueled fire.

This isn’t just a success story.
It’s a survival saga, written in grit, glitter, and grace—and told by a woman who never asked for permission to shine.
Let’s begin again. Boldly.

What I’ve Built Along the Way

I’ve worn more hats than a runway model at Fashion Week—and every one of them taught me something bold, messy, or magical.

I’m the author of The Shadyside Novels, a bestselling fiction series rooted in confessions, resilience, and reinvention. These stories are personal, but universal for anyone reclaiming their voice.

I built The No Fear Collection™ to help others step into their own reinvention—something I know a thing or two about. After all, Book 2: The Other Species isn’t just a title—it started as a great love story—eyes locked, breath caught, rules forgotten. He was power wrapped in polish, and I was drawn in like a match to gasoline. But not every spark is safe.
This isn’t just a story about love. It’s about survival—and the secrets that wait in the heat of the flame.

Book 3: The Reel Crime lifts the curtain on the film world’s white-collared secrets. But long before that book was written, I had already designed and launched a 160,000-square-foot film facility used by Netflix, Lionsgate, and Paramount—where not all the drama stayed on script.

My original story? It’s buried in Book 4: From Coal Dust to Star Dust—a story of an unsolved murder, generational grit, and rewriting a life others thought they’d already defined. Because sometimes, the brightest glow comes from what you survived in the dark.

And Book 5: Hot in the Kitchen brings the heat—along with pierogi, wine, and wild wisdom from the women who’ve risen with me. It’s part memoir, part recipe box, part love letter to every woman who’s ever reinvented herself at the kitchen table.

The Part Where They Gave Me Trophies…

Let’s talk awards—but not the stiff, framed-on-the-wall kind. Mine came with stories. Plot twists. And more than a few risks that could’ve backfired spectacularly.

I won the WomenFirst Award as the first creative woman in a lineup of corporate giants in gray suits. I didn’t just break the glass ceiling—I showed up in heels, rewrote the script, and redesigned the office on the way up.

Then came the ADDY Awards, Telly Awards, and the Extra Mile Award. They said it was for “extraordinary vision”—but let’s be honest, it was probably for leaping into wild ideas without a life vest…and somehow turning every risk into a damn good story. The award was handed to me by Robert Downey Jr., which felt about right—two rebels with a flair for the dramatic, trading trophies under stage lights.

I’ve led national campaigns—including Taco Bell’s iconic “Talking Dog” with Chiat/Day LA—(yep, that was me, wait until you read this story!) and worked with powerhouse clients like Checkers & Rally’s, Rite-Aid, True Value Hardware, and Zippo Lighters —brands that gave me a budget, a deadline, and a challenge. I gave them results. And a little chaos.

And as former Vice President of the Porsche Club of America (Everglades Region SW Florida), I conceptualized and hosted a sold-out luxury event, “Casino Royale” gala—where elegance met an unforgettable experience.

I’ve renovated everything from Arizona cattle ranches to a 7,000-square-foot Dominican Republic villa restored with the same belief: Reinvention isn’t something I write about. It’s something I live.
