Drawing from her own experience overcoming breast cancer and autoimmune disease, Holly explains the importance of embracing one's inherent "awesomeness" and creating a ripple effect through personal transformation. The conversation highlights the pitfalls of the diet industry, the imperative of a sustainable and holistic approach to health, and the power of mental shifts in fostering positive, long-term change. Holly shares practical strategies and inspirational stories, emphasizing the significance of showing up for others and living with intentionality, ultimately aiming to help midlife women reclaim vibrant health and well-being.
Holly Bertone is a former FBI Chief of Staff for Counterintelligence turned Certified Holistic Health Coach. She helps midlife women find the clues to prioritize their health, so their high-achievement lifestyle no longer clashes with unwanted weight gain, lack of energy, and restless nights.
Holly spent 20 years in Project Management consulting and federal government service. After her own experience of breast cancer, healing herself from an autoimmune disease, and creating a no-conflict divorce, she learned there’s more to life than burning the candle at both ends, and living according to everyone else’s agenda.
