CEO of Widows Do Bounce Back, Bestselling Author, and speaker, Maya Tyler, was born in Takoma Park, Maryland. She received her BS in Information Systems from Virginia State University and completed English and writing courses at the University of Connecticut. She received her official life coaching certificate in 2019 and is currently continuing her education in the subject of clinical mental health.

Her mission is to help widowed people like herself "create, financially support, and execute a plan to bounce back, raise healthy children, and find happiness after spousal loss". She is known to ask the thought-provoking question, inspired by her late mentor, Susan W. Bernstein - "Who Is #NEXTYOU?"
