I’m contacting you with a segment idea about one woman who faced a maelstrom of shattering challenges, embarked on a total "redesign" inside and out, and wound up more satisfied and successful than she could have dreamed.


Big idea: There's nothing wrong with looking at life as a metaphor, especially if it's a metaphor of building a house, from the foundation to the framing to the rooms inside. That's how Jeanne Collins was able to leave hardship and pain behind and build her own "house on a hill."

Why it matters: Surviving — and thriving — is a universal story, to be sure. But in this case, the narrator has found a way to turn her own story of how she reconstructed her own life and career into universal lessons that provide an inspiring foundation for anyone seeking change.

Key messages: Author and award-winning interior designer Jeanne Collins shares her strategies for creating lives filled with love, passion and success, using the art of building and design as a working metaphor. As Collins observes, women need to pick up their own tools and construct the space for themselves. All they need are some plans and inspiration.

The author can also discuss:

How to lay a strong foundation by doing the work to address the pain of the past.
How to build seven power pillars to support yourself, from mindfulness to self-prioritizing.
How to put up the right kind of walls against those costly time-wasters that get us nowhere.
How to curate a toolkit of resources to calm the mind, like tapping, journaling and music.
How to build wellness and emotional connection into your own home.
The source: Jeanne Collins is an award-winning interior designer who left the corporate world behind to find her true self through design and internal reflection.
