She is in the process of getting her book "The American Dream on Life Support" published and hopes to spread hope and a guiding light on how we can fix our Economy and help people to repair their personal finances to get back on the road to living the American Dream. After my own personal struggles with financial setbacks following a difficult divorce, I can easily connect with the audience on how to get past setbacks in your personal finances and find hope for a brighter future. I am also the mother of a 11 year old daughter with Autism, so I understand that people are facing difficult challenges in getting ahead and helps to inspire those who might be feeling defeated in life to get back up and keep fighting! My upcoming book "The American Dream on LIfe Support" examines how our Economy has stacked the cards against the Middle and Poorer Classes to the point that most Americans are barely getting by every month. My book helps to guide people to a better financial future and looks at the deeper issues of how we got to where we are in our Economy. I hope to inspire, enlighten and help others to Thrive, no matter what our Economy our the Stock Market is doing!
