Personal Bio

Personal Journey While the accent’s basically gone, I am a small town Canadian girl who loved guys with big trucks, Crispy Crunch chocolate bars, and walks in the woods. I was raised by a teacher mother and pharmacist father who divorced. While I enjoyed summers at the lake, most of my school years were spent feeling misunderstood for my expression, my enthusiasm, my quirks. After receiving encouragement from my grandmas, I found the courage at 19 years old to hop on my Uncle Phil’s semi to live my dreams in Hollywood. While I was brave enough and talented enough, I didn’t have a work visa so the only job I could find was working in Japan. This exploded into four years as a successful model, dancer, and spokesperson on TV, magazine covers, runways, billboards, movies and music videos. I arrived with $40 and lived in cockroach infested shack shared with 14 other foreigners. Year four I was making more money than my parents combined. It was there I met my first husband, a tall, dark and handsome multimillionaire. I followed him to NYC where we married. I graduated cum laude from Columbia University and worked for CNN yet I was dying inside. While I loved him, in hindsight I don’t really think I knew what love was and I was afraid to pass up such a great guy and a picture perfect life. As I became a deeper, more sensual and empowered woman, I was no longer a fit for the relationship and we divorced. A few years later, I had bought my own condo and was working as a life coach yet couldn’t seem to make a tumultuous relationship work when I found out my mom had cancer. It all happened so fast. In 10 days she was gone, and the next weekend I got pregnant at my sister’s wedding. Since I couldn’t save her, I tried to save the relationship. This too ended in divorce, single motherhood and I hit rock bottom. The journey to regain my confidence, self trust, and self love resulted in a workable relationship with my former husband, a flourishing relationship with my son, and my successful career as a Sexy Mom Expert. Not only am I a regular on Leeza Gibbon’s LeezaLIVE and national show Hollywood Confidential, I was her official Life Coach for Dancing with the Stars.
