After 30 years as a successful entrepreneur, I thought I had it all – an internationally-recognized marketing agency, the reputation as a leading expert in marketing to women, a loving family, and a great lifestyle. But all that changed in a flash when Todd, my husband of 37 years, was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Within two months, I shuttered my agency and became his full-time caregiver.

When Todd passed five years later, I was more than exhausted – physically and emotionally. Not only had I lost my life partner … I was no longer a business owner, I was stripped of my identity and was staring at a bleak future I couldn’t possibly have imagined. In my darkest moment, I realized that I had a choice: I could either ride out the years ahead and take them as they came, or rise up and take command of my life once again. But how? Where would I even start?

And so I went on a two-year journey of discovery I called “Finding Dori.” I went through intensive trainings and workshops, read extensively, sought out mentors and coaches. When I emerged from that journey I saw myself through a new lens, and recognized the wisdom I’d earned from a lifetime of experience. At the age of 62 – rather than settling – I launched a bold new business to help women see themselves as the powerful force that they are.

I’ve distilled the learnings of my transformational journey into key elements to help women like you step into your power and live life fully … and now I want to share those insights with you in my Aging with Power™ for Women series. This empowering experience will help you feel the liberation of knowing yourself, loving yourself and being true to who you’re meant to be.
