Moving Upstream Without a Paddle

Life Coach Susan De Lorenzo focuses on helping women who are emerging from life-altering adversities and guides them to evaluate the insights and wisdom that such times hold. She believes our dark times hold amazing "gems" which we can use to construct a new platform for a soul-led life that honors the journey and the great woman who was there all along. As a survivor of invasive breast cancer whose marriage dissolved as treatment ended, Susan draws upon her personal journey as well as her training as a life coach to give clients, readers and listeners the mindsets and tools to rebuild their lives in alignment with their deepest desires. Susan is also the author of the upcoming book, Pulling the Gems from Adversity, which will be published by Balboa Press this year.

When Wendy Green was younger, she wanted to be like Phil Donahue or Oprah Winfrey and talk to some of the most interesting people and ask probing questions. Now she can do that on her own show Hey, Boomer! She started her career in the computer industry with a BS in Computer Science from UNC-Asheville in 1983! Things have changed a little since then.

From her early days in the computer industry, she moved into technical training and pre-sales support, she got a Certificate from Georgetown in Change Management. and she got certified as a Life Coach in 2013. She had her own business for 6 years, an afterschool art enrichment program, where she was selected as the Franchisee of the Year in 2009. She was President of her Rotary Club for 2 years and we raised more money in one of those years than the club had ever raised.

She had gone back into corporate training in 2011. When the pandemic hit, she was laid off on March 23. After a couple of days of wondering what was next, she decided how she wanted to feel. She wanted to feel relevant, She wanted to feel that what she did mattered, and she wanted to help others in the over 55 age group recognize that we all still have a lot to give, and a lot of time left to give it. She did her first Hey, Boomer show on April 13, 2020, live on Facebook. She ends each show with a quote from C.S. Lewis where he said, “You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.”
