Press
I’ve been speaking to press, radio, and television audiences for over 20 years — from CNN and NPR to Vogue, Wired, and national television in three countries. Before that, I spent years doing PR and communications for the labor movement, learning how to craft messages that move people.
I know what it takes to walk into a camera, a microphone, or a hostile interviewer and hold your ground with clarity and conviction.
I bring all of that to my leadership coaching work — helping founders, leaders, and changemakers find their message, own their voice, and communicate with the kind of presence that makes people lean in.

Anderson Cooper, CNN. 01/2004
My first major national TV appearance — promoting Quirkyalone live on CNN with Anderson Cooper the week it launched. Walking into a national television studio as a first-time author and holding my own under tough questioning was a formative lesson in staying grounded under pressure. It’s an experience I draw on when I coach clients through high-stakes media moments, speaking engagements, and difficult conversations.
Dr. Phil. 02/2023
An invitation to bring an unconventional idea — self-marriage as a ritual of self-acceptance — to a mainstream national audience of millions. What looked like a straightforward guest expert segment turned into a lesson in navigating a hostile environment with composure when Dr. Phil brought on a conservative right-hand man to Trump on to debate me. Here I drew on my own coaching lessons about staying close to your own body’s reactions to stay calm under pressure.
The best part was meeting the other women who married themselves!
Here’s the full show.

Irish Times. 08/2017.
Writer Alana Kirk from Dublin traveled to Buenos Aires to learn tango with me and my team. I shared my insights on the power of connecting with our sensuality with her in this piece in the Irish Times, “How to Find Your Inner Goddess.”
“I see that the moment a woman connects to her body by connecting with her sensuality she has a new source of groundedness, power, and intuition. She taps into her natural goddess energy without makeup, high heels, or a new outfit. It’s available at any age. When you walk or stand connected to yourself, you create a different vibration. You feel different and people feel you differently.”–Sasha Cagen
