Judi RoncoJudi specializes in the upliftment of the human spirit and passionately guides others to seek the best in themselves and take risks that are likely to enrich the quality of their lives. What she teaches is what she herself has learned. She delights i her roles as an author, certified life coach, workshop facilitator, freelance photographer, retired special needs teacher, friend, sister, loving wife, proud parent of three adult children, and most recently beach-walker! There were a couple of decades of her life when she was deeply and often negatively affected by the simplest disappointments. Drama seemed to spot her a mile away from a young age and latch onto her spirit like a leech, leaving her feeling helpless about her circumstances and hiding her sadness behind a well-crafted smile. Through trial and error, courses and books on self-empowerment and the support of a few dear mentors, an ocean of tears, self-imposed victim mentality, and pure exhaustion began to dissolve into a spectacular adventure of self-discovery and a life-altering change of course. A new woman willing to take responsibility for her thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and actions emerged and for the past 25 years, she has continued to become the grandest version of herself with each day. The smile you see today is blissfully authentic and she shares it unabashedly! Judi loves to experiment with life outside the box. Her solo adventure traveling back and forth across the United States for over three years gives testimony to her desire to try new things in new ways. Simply inviting perfect strangers to share something good in their world and basking in their joy with them turned out to be a win-win surprise of feeling great for everyone involved. This led to a connection with people that she didn't anticipate, and became the driving force behind her book, Journey Across the Smiles. https: //JudiRonco.com Read More Read Less
