About Guts, Grace and Gusto!

We deliver messages of hope, encouragement and inspiration with humor and high-energy for putting fancy footwork and spirit into today's multi-tasking worlds. We offer Guts, Grace & Gusto^® products and programs that resonate with the interests, concerns and wise hearts of today's women.

We’ve kept our wits facing life’s challenges and changes through health crises, caregiving, raising children through all their growth curves, then awakening as empty nesters, pondering our purpose, and making bold career moves. We sometimes feel like the mayonnaise of the Sandwich Generation spread too thin, holding everything together between generations while seeking to honor ourselves in the process.

We share a collection of sensible strategies that have powerfully influenced our audiences reinforcing a women's potential to:

Explore new adventures, opportunities and options

Claim their dreams

Enrich their lives with meaning and purpose

Live in tune with their authenticity

Preserve and expand their resources

Let us dynamize your next conference, workshop, executive retreat, spouse program, or appreciation event with the Guts, Grace & Gusto!® spirit!
